The talk begins with the video "Humans need not apply", see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pq-S557XQU This presents an introduction to the problem. Afterwards the connections to the fermi paradox and the simulation hypothesis are presented. And several possible outcomes for humanity are discussed.

2. Will AI troll us?

3. Humans don’t have to apply (necessarily)

4. Much of it!
Sand!

5. Sand!

7. Where is everybody?
Welcome to the Fermi Paradox!
You are
here!

8. Great Filter

9. 2 types of solutions
• We are very lucky (we have surpassed the great filter)
• We are doomed (great filter ahoi)
• Higher civilizations don’t want to communicate with us
• They want to make contact but pharmaceutical industry is hiding this
because of profit! (or oil/gas industry)
• Aliens are already here and are called Men In Black
• (We have no idea whatsoever)

10. Simulation Argument
One of the following statements is no (science) fiction:
1. Mankind is doomed.
(OH SHIT NOT AGAIN)
2. Simulations are boring.
(A.K.A. Go outside, talk to girls!)
3. We live in the matrix
(We should wear more trench coats)

11. “Paperclip Machine”

12. •Is the paperclip machine realistic?
Today neural networks are being used and
supersede human performance in several things,
let’s look at some examples:

14. Twitter Mood predicts stock market

15. Deep Neural Network beats Go

16. Artificial General Intelligences
• will make better economical decisions
• will do better electoral campaigning
• will outline more efficient politic strategies
• will explain to us, that justice of performance was our idea.

17. Is AGI possible with our current knowledge?
• Yes
• No
• We already have it
• No it will never be possible

20. I can’t be worried of that shit.
Life goes on, man.
