Hassan can't help himself 😂
He doesn't look his age. Hassan looks like a 22yro.
Making neil to sit and silent while hasan is destroying the science theory is a comedy gold bro, love you neil 😂
Did he give terrible answers on purpose to annoy Neil or did he really now know?
I wanna know!
paraphrase "AI can only know what is in it's training data" but isn't that the same for humans? We just don't have a way of knowing all the training data in our brains.
28:00
Could have done without the swearing. It was all good till that point.
Tyson: D+ or pity on your dumb dumb soul, C-. Minhsj: dafuq… am I supposed to be upset, I didn’t study bro. C- I did that 😎😏
I missed neil when he was cancelled for a few years
Jesus. Would the host of this show shut up? I want to listen to Neil, not this clown…
Uninsightful. What kind of question is "will a machine do the dishes".
“Unconclusive” is not a word!
Just saying.
After he said that spectrum comment I realized Neil definitely is autistic. i love him tho
Trying to convert Neil to Islam, but using "Jesus" instead of "SubhanAllah"
Come on, man. At least don't fool yourself
0:36 "I'm going to go off the top of my dome n u can not correct me" . This is the current status of the world we live in…. Every1 learns off the internet, which is a GREAT place to get "information" however, all information is not true or factual, n there is where lies the problem… We r exposed to too much info n every1 has an opinion. For example, flat earth vs round earth, which i can not believe is a question rn with allllll the evidence that is out there, btw this can be proved with SCIENTIFIC accuracy n not belief or PSUEDOscience.. I think its great to challenge to norm, however, u should have a strong "base" to challenge these so called "norms." Something that can replicated not only by u but by some 1 else or by a by a peer review in the respected field. A.I. is such a new field that i dont think any1 really has good grasp on what is really possible, but I'll tell u this, I would trust some1 that has studied our evolutionary ladder or who has deep knowledge of how computers learn or develop, than some sci fi "Expert." There is something known as the Dunning Kruger effect where some 1 learns just enough to think they r an expert in something but dont know enough to know that they dont know sh#$!…. I personally am afraid of A.I. because i think they will take over, however, i will admit that i have gotten all my info from sci fi films (matrix, terminator, i robot etc.) but i am excited about the medical benefits. I have heard, not personally witnessed, medical diagnosis called correctly earlier than a doctor can n in certain cases the earlier u know whats up the better. So i am excited about that, but time will tell if its true or maybe we'll be slaves….😂
This was the funniest thing iv ever seen😂😂😂
"You should make your own damn bed" really makes may day😆
I believe he is famous because we as humans have an innate curiosity to learn or understand our world. Dr. Tyson has an uncanny ability to communicate complex information to us non-complex beings at a level we too can understand! Imagine that.🤔
❤️ and thanks to you both.
This guy is a joke, he always try to make a noise by opposing the norm
I don't think Neil does laundry if he claims it takes 3 minutes 😉
Having a family with 3 children it takes several hours every week.
Typewriters died when computers with wordprocessors and printers arrived. Typewriter firms, sales teams, stores and technicians retooled, restocked and retrained in the new computer technology – those that didn't became dinosaurs…
New jobs will fill the gap of those jobs lost by the expansion of A.I. – the evolution of technology and human understanding.
This video is a flashy mix of surface-level takes and science cosplay, AI deserves critique not from people playing expert for clicks.
Guy sounds like a woke dipshi-t that does scientism ratther than science… js
I believe that the reason there are no robots for the home yet is that most people can't afford a robot at home. Just like when computers first came out, you will see robots in businesses first.
33:35 Feels like he's whispering this part so the machines can't hear him
Well, that settles it. A failed scientist and a comedian explain everything and nothing.
Don't hurt em' Neal! Bro is about to POP!!!! with Not being able to rebut these questions. 😆🤣
Omg how did we not think of chatNDT already?! 🫶🫶🫶 good job Hasan
22:18 is the best moment

42:55 "uh, it's just odd. That uh, it's just odd. There's all this talk about DEI as 'bad.' And there's the assumption that if you see someone that is not WHITE MALE, they can't possibly be as qualified, right, as the 'white male' who's not in that position, right?"
"It's just odd, that there'd be a 'Fourstar General' fired from his position, who's Black – and replaced with someone, who's 'Objectively,' less qualified, with a 'white male' .. that's kind of weird. How is that some comeback on DEI, right? If you are gonna do a 'comeback,' get someone — who's a white male who's a five star general .. " ~ Neil deGrasse Tyson
He's Reading rainbow 🌈
I guess Neil never watched Black Mirror.
Nothing about our second blind spot?
Humans being bad at thinking about a higher intelligence threatening their existence?
When you imagine that the aliens are all going to molest you like they do in science fiction stories remember aliens didn't write scientific fiction stories, people did….
so neil, if a cup is outside, you stumble upon it when the amount is halfway. the temperature and surrounding is warm and dry enough to make it evaporate but the slight rainfall now and then is keeping that in balance. is the cup then half full or empty?
What's the name of that intro song?
