The Joe Rogan Experience
#2269 - Bret Weinstein

So A, I think we have a lot of folks who have gotten very, very good at complicated things and that when they take over complex things, they inevitably fuck them up, right? So in part, our interventionist sense of the way medicine should work is a bunch of complicated problem solving in a complex system where it is destined to create harm. And I think we are going to see that again and again.

Anytime you hear somebody confidently pontificating about some complicated solution that they want to deploy to a complex problem, alarm bells should go off. That now puts us in an interesting place with respect to our machines.

Because what I think is about to happen, if it has not happened already, is that our machines, which are hyper complicated, but not complex, are just about to cross that threshold and become complex, which means that our expertise in thinking about them is about to be rendered obsolete. So AI I believe, has the characteristics of true complexity, or at least has a primordial form of it.

And that means that our Thinking about machines is of an outdated kind. And anyway, I'm expecting a kind of catastrophe to arise out of that as we deploy complicated thinking and what we're really up against is misleading us because it's still, you know, it's on a screen. It triggers all of our complicated instincts. And I'm worried about where that goes, and I'm worried.

Have you tried to extrapolate? Yeah, I mean, I've got to tell you, when I see Larry Ellison talking about Stargate, it makes me shudder because it feels like exactly the type specimen of the arrogant... What did he say about Stargate? Oh, that it's going to leverage AI and produce tailor-made cancer vaccines, this, that, or the other.

And my sense is there is not enough humility in this presentation. There is not enough concern about us stepping into a realm we really know very little about. And that hubris is going to it's going to create a colossal error of some kind. And, you know, you can imagine it. We've just seen a colossal error with vaccines. So, you know, to have somebody saying, well, never mind what just happened.
