The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

And I think it's better to, like you said, to frame it almost like an alien species has come to earth.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

They seem friendly.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

They're going to work with us.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

They're going to help us do things.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

And they are going to be more intelligent than us.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

But it's a whole new species, like you said.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

And that's a better framing for people to have the right expectation of what's happening right now.

And it can now run multiple hours fully autonomously working in a house, doing chores and folding and cleaning and doing laundry, all that kind of thing.

The Imperfects

So it's self-learning.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

And so what does this mean?

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

It means a few things.
