I put on some science video and walked away recently... came back latter and the autoplay had navigated itself deep into k00ky flat earther stuff.
People raising concerns about superhuman AI grey-gooing the planet have their priorities wrong. Incompetent narrow AI will happily navigate man kind into a wall when the pattern of bricks by chance happens to look like a tunnel.
Don't be evil... we have automation for that.
- zzzzzzzza 9y agothe stereotypical grey goo is usually an example of the kind of narrow AI you are talking about
- dogma1138 9y agoGrey goo doesn’t require intelligence of any sort tho just the ability to consume resources and replicate. And it doesn’t even have to be nano machines, HzD is effectively a grey goo scenario with drones that can replicate and can produce essentially biodiesel.

- zzzzzzzza 9y agoReplication takes some kind of programming, perhaps not a statistical/machine learning type algorithm; but the example of a "navigation ai" also doesn't seem like it would be employing those techniques.

That's the point of youtube autoplay. You leave it running long enough it'll go through all the videos. That's what makes youtube interesting. At least that's what made youtube deep diving interesting before all the censorship. You go through enough books in the library and you will eventually find books on alchemy. Also, you could turn off autoplay with a click of a button...

This might be true if there were only a finite number of videos _before_ getting to the kooky ones, but YouTube tends to get to them disturbingly fast.
- analogic 9y agopro tip: never fall asleep to youtube without disabling autoplay. conspiracy nut vids make for some interesting dreams.
