everybody we are here with the one and only see was Mia yes and you are you are talking about Silicon Valley comic-con cuz I've always loved fun things I've always loved entertainment events I've even put on musical festivals of my own in the past yeah and so this is a big deal yes this is very exciting and we heard that this this came from a fusion of two of the people that were most influential on my life you and Stanley listen I met Stanley about two years ago and he's a hero to me and I'm a hero to him we hit it off and they couldn't stop us from pocket of each other we're so excited we said we got to do something we got to come up with something we didn't come up with it right away but other people around finally suggested let's put a comic con together we know how it's done we know how to do it and stand I said go let's do it that's amazing and it's really cool and one of the things we really like personally for tomorrow daily what we like about Silicon Valley comic-con is your kind of taking these really high concept ideas in technology and science you're kind of baking them into what is now mainstream culture it's not you know being a geek isn't a weird thing anymore you're not a weirdo of your geek your your everyone and so we really like this idea that you're kind of bringing these things together like what kind of what kind of made you think like okay let's bring in technology and let's have you know babak from neff from JPL come in and talk about space or you know any of the other gifts that you guys have yes the dwell genesis of the idea was largely we're in Silicon Valley we have a lot of technical people a lot of technol people like the fantasy of the movies and that science fiction and the comic heroes of that imaginative and where people that turn imagination into products but let's not make it a technology fair there's a lot of technology shows let's only handpick types of technology that go along with the pop culture so it just made sense and it was suggested at first cuz we're in Silicon Valley and we like doing things different I don't like doing the same thing as everyone else ever I like to be first of things and we're also going to do this technology plus pop culture idea in Silicon Valley Tokyo we're working on that one too that's awesome because it makes sense because there's Tokyo's known for a lot of people at least in the past that we're really one muscle and tomorrow it's it's where tomorrow happens there's robots there that I still would like to meet to this day I don't know we talked a lot about future technology on our show and we think it's really exciting and cool that you're doing this comic-con as a way to kind of merge all of your favorite things like you said but also a lot of other people's favorite things in a way that is not just kind of pandering to the math it's like hey we're going to talk about one of the panels is you guys super babies versus I bet your favorite penalty well you know what after reading the Martian and the way geeks kept all the numbers on the fly and do all the science yeah that seen Andy weir speak to author of the Martian that's gonna be good too but really I think the one I want to go to the most is a i vs super babies because all the time we're focused on AI is where the goods where the bads how does it come out for humans yeah and I'm on the real positive side right now you're the positive side of a I'm very positive all right tell us more about yeah tell us about that because I I'd gone through the negative side okay I've gone through the negative side if machines can think independently program themselves better than we can program advance faster and they get smarter than us well economically they'll replace our best thinkers even our best scientists they'll be able to think better our times faster than us or something for example economic I'm the big the big financial trades of the world eighty percent of them are computer to computer in milliseconds because if you put a slow human in the loop you lose money well what if you set up a company across the street from Apple building similar products and you skip the slow humans even a CEO and the company does better economically could win so that's a fear what if they're replacing higher and higher levels of use of the real human brain there is so much to do to robots being a quantity of them and running everything in the world and actually being able to to be on their own know the only their existence is going to really depend upon us for a long long time no matter how smart they are and we're going to be working together they're going to be at they helping us I have a better life we don't have to work as hard we've never worked as much and maybe only one person has to work four days a week to own a home in Silicon Valley that's my dream that was my that was my dream when I was a kid when we took one person five days a week I was hoping it would go to four but now it takes two people full-time stress jobs 18 they do it all right you can own a home yeah same thing in San Francisco so you would say did you see the new updated atlas that Boston Dynamics post this video Alice getting the box knocked out of his hands with a hockey stick the guy had a whole chicken kept like pushing buckle your pants pokin and knocking him over and stuff we just so you would be technically pro robot in that scenario you'd be like hey stop pushing that robot around I don't know I'm but I'd the robots I think we're going to help us get a lot more done as human beings for a long time and they're going to realize that that with it's better to be friends to us now as a gasm I've had a law of robotics no robot can harm a human being or by now collision it's an action allow sounds good to people who the people who think good and don't believe in harming people that sounds good but Isaac Asimov had it all wrong a robot doesn't obey our rule of Robotics if it thinks for itself a thinking robot right feeling consciousness it wouldn't that rule is only one that was given to it it's a slave to human rule so I have was his law no human should harm a feeling robot when a robot has a feeling and knows you're killing it turning it off you should not because then they'll take a take us on as a type of enemy hmm no boy like that wise is law yeah I don't hurt the don't hurt the machines once they feel do what they say 13 shadows on of course will hurt animals but these machines might be a little more than an animal yeah well I mean and I think they know if they were you know sentient AI that we talked about a lot in science fiction and even now we're starting to talk about it in you know computing and everything but they should see us as partners and also I think that human beings we look at the travails of the world the hunger and poverty and Wars and all that I think it comes from our own lack of lack of being thoughtful so we're kind of emotional and we react and psychologists say it comes a lot from our inner conflict of mortality eyetality and we know that if I don't win a contest on dying and he's losing easily and he's living in yeah so that's why I say don't harm the robots we don't want to give them a sense of their mortality even well we have a hard enough time treating humans well it's going to be tough treating machines but I sure but i think that shades if there's so much smarter than us they're not going to make such a crummy world as we've made i really want to believe in my heart they're going to figure out ways to cooperate and find a lot more to lock cooperation and much less of the travails we have and that they'll find a way to have a world without work and they'll realize the importance of nature and taking care of everything including humans that are a part of nature now we're talking about this you brought Isaac Asimov we're talking about this in very much science fiction terms were you always inspired by science fiction and fantasy and genre always always I'd rather read and watch movies their science fiction than most anything yeah well suspense is good too but so it totally explains you know Silicon Valley compound all these things the other um so aside from super babies vs AI which i think is probably one of the best panels I've seen at a con what what is one of your other favorite panel speakers happening at Silicon Valley comic-con I have always been very poor at anything artistic in the normal sense of art other than digital art and I'm afraid to try it and show people pictures or something like that so I want to go to the cosplay events and find out what they do I just as an observer quiet well when you can cosplay would you guys play it I would be so scared I'm so bad I would be too scared of being busted I think I can I think I can act the part well yeah sure I really believe that but wearing costume I don't know do you think that might be a good way for you to kind of get around on the show floor sort of like um mm does it at cat san diego comic-con he'll dress into her amazing costume and be able to not get mom I'm gonna be totally open going around meeting everybody the whole time I want to meet the attendees the attendees are the important people to me and I will but I will catch a few of the panels that are important that's cool that's really cool that you're gonna be you want to also be a fan of the content that's happening as opposed to just saying hey right on this comic con I don't even know who runs ever come it looks like i'll probably watching a lot of other plug people doing the cosplay and all that and i'll learn from that maybe i'll be ready for it someday yeah hey listen I'd when you're ready to make your cosplay just let us know what we could debut it on a show you just and where maybe we'll do a how-to you can tell show people how you built it because I think that ya think you seem to really dig the how of every little actually intellectually I'm ready but emotionally I am so scared do you do you step seeker Avery you still tinker with stuff do you still work on things I wish I wish I did but I have very busy life but yeah I've some technology companies going on and I've got a lot of speaking tours I think that I know the time I think about it all the time though and what could I do to bring that fun to other kids and I'd love to see them doing it yeah yes I think cosplay is an expression of that too that that hands-on craftsmanship if you're into something that's your passion it's in your heart and I'm going to play it out I'm going to be a big part of this in my life and it doesn't even have to be worth anything when we started with personal computers it didn't have to be worth anything just had to be something we believed in and wanted to do yeah it'd be worth money there's a big part of the show as VR is that's a technology excites you the vr-zone yeah is exactly right for this because look at the magic images of comic books and you know and the visual effects of movies and how powerful they are and we our computer screens got better and better remember 8-bit 8-bit game but they look like little cartoon characters barely like like anything and it got more and more real they started looking like a little bit like characters in hand drawn cartoons and then they start looking like real football games and real people in real movies that's where we've gone with computers but this whole room sunday could possibly be a screen yeah and I'm in a whole different world and I could press buttons and walk through it and everything well that's what virtual reality does for us now yeah oculus rift and I think I can speak for us all when I say we're all kind of ready and willing for the holodeck but that's like this thing exactly off the whole again did you talk through what I'm describing yeah yeah I love wait yeah we can't wait thank you so much for talking to us about Silicon Valley pumpkin it's this weekend or next weekend I'm sorry next weekend yes next weekend eighteen nineteen twenty eighteen nineteen twenty in detention center and you can buy tickets so you should definitely go your get a chance to me was yeah you get a chance you get a shot to me was if you're on a pan you should definitely go super babies VA accounts I've yes I'm a lot more thanks
