WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:04.080 (wind blowing) 00:04.120 --> 00:07.800 OpenAI builds the world's largest data center, worth 00:07.900 --> 00:11.820 $5 trillion. Their latest AI can, in one 00:11.920 --> 00:15.540 hour, solve tasks that would take multiple days for a human. 00:15.930 --> 00:19.860 Anthropic claims OpenAI's model is more capable of deceiving its 00:20.020 --> 00:22.940 users. (electronic sound) 00:24.080 --> 00:27.960 In the Ukraine conflict, we see a swarm of a hundred drones drop 00:28.000 --> 00:31.140 explosives all at once, with no human pilot. 00:31.760 --> 00:35.680 OpenAI's model is suspected to be behind the advances. 00:35.780 --> 00:39.440 NSA ex-director Paul Nakasone demands more 00:39.480 --> 00:43.240 compartmentalization and secrecy at the OpenAI 00:43.340 --> 00:46.160 lab, but Sam Altman pushes back. 00:46.800 --> 00:50.720 Discussion ensues. Under executive order, the NSA 00:50.800 --> 00:54.670 mandates military security for all data centers above a 00:54.700 --> 00:58.550 certain size. In secret, Sam Altman purchases a 00:58.560 --> 01:02.420 biotech company and repurposes it to do gain-of-function 01:02.480 --> 01:05.880 research. He hopes of getting US approval later. 01:06.380 --> 01:10.320 At OpenAI, a Chinese spy is caught leaking the latest AI 01:10.420 --> 01:14.110 models and research. OpenAI shuts down all offices, 01:14.460 --> 01:17.759 moves researchers to a military fortress. 01:21.420 --> 01:24.980 (wind blowing) (applause) A new 01:25.020 --> 01:28.200 fundamental breakthrough is discovered by researchers. 01:28.280 --> 01:32.160 It is announced to the public. AI companies' shares rise as a 01:32.200 --> 01:36.100 result of this news. Three AI companies now control 01:36.180 --> 01:39.480 one third of the US economy. In a bold test, 01:39.680 --> 01:43.220 codenamed Operation Charlie, Sam Altman 01:43.260 --> 01:47.160 demonstrates that he can use AI to pilot 75 01:47.260 --> 01:50.780 fighter jets at once, with him being the only person 01:50.820 --> 01:54.810 overseeing the operation. Altman insists he has critical 01:54.880 --> 01:58.550 insights into the technology and how it will reshape national 01:58.660 --> 02:02.280 security. Some military generals are amazed at the 02:02.360 --> 02:06.120 advances, but others are suspicious because Altman lacks a 02:06.200 --> 02:10.109 military background. A prolonged deadlock follows, 02:10.500 --> 02:14.460 with military generals divided over how much influence Altman should 02:14.560 --> 02:18.260 have over US military decisions. Secretly, 02:18.400 --> 02:22.060 Altman asks the AI for advice on how to persuade the 02:22.120 --> 02:25.260 military generals and on various other topics. 02:25.680 --> 02:28.960 President Trump declares a US national emergency. 02:29.600 --> 02:33.100 Trump says OpenAI discovered DNA sequences of 02:33.240 --> 02:36.980 engineered bioweapons that could kill billions of people. 02:37.700 --> 02:41.070 These DNA sequences have leaked to the public internet. 02:41.800 --> 02:45.700 In his speech, Trump accuses Chinese AI labs of 02:45.800 --> 02:49.640 leaking the information online. All biotech labs in the 02:49.720 --> 02:53.440 US are ordered to halt all activity for 30 days 02:55.580 --> 02:59.440 (wind blowing) During the emergency, the 02:59.480 --> 03:02.140 US manufactures a billion micro-drones. 03:02.720 --> 03:06.480 Each costs $100, amounting to a total cost of 03:06.520 --> 03:08.120 $100 billion. 03:08.960 --> 03:12.300 There are now more micro-drones than people in the United States. 03:12.780 --> 03:16.600 OpenAI plans the first general-purpose robot factory. 03:17.240 --> 03:20.880 Normally, robots manufacture a single item, like a 03:20.960 --> 03:24.570 car or a spacecraft. These robots, however, could 03:24.640 --> 03:28.540 manufacture any robot, which in turn manufacture items 03:28.580 --> 03:32.310 of your interest. Trump approves of a special economic 03:32.420 --> 03:35.060 zone where construction of this factory begins. 03:35.700 --> 03:39.579 Adam Sachs is announced the Republican presidential candidate for the 03:39.640 --> 03:43.609 upcoming US election. Sam Altman publicly declares 03:43.680 --> 03:47.440 support for Sachs and starts a billion-dollar PAC to fund 03:47.500 --> 03:51.380 him. Altman was actually Sachs' ex-boyfriend, 03:51.420 --> 03:55.400 this is not known to the public. Altman reveals to Sachs that he 03:55.440 --> 03:58.160 was the one who leaked the bioweapons to the internet. 03:58.900 --> 04:02.640 Since Sachs is not willing to share this with the public, Sachs is 04:02.740 --> 04:04.160 also now culpable 04:06.320 --> 04:09.760 (wind blowing) The leader of opposition 04:09.820 --> 04:12.730 accuses OpenAI of interfering in the election. 04:13.250 --> 04:17.120 Mass protests heat up against AI in the capital. 04:17.130 --> 04:21.000 A massive autonomous drone swarm is unleashed on the protest 04:21.079 --> 04:24.920 for surveillance purposes. A few people turn violent out 04:24.960 --> 04:28.740 of fear of the drones. The drones accurately identify and 04:28.780 --> 04:30.740 arrest those who are responsible. 04:31.180 --> 04:34.980 Some of the protest leaders are considered a threat to national 04:35.600 --> 04:38.640 They are taken to a secret military camp and tortured. 04:39.060 --> 04:42.740 Once they are killed, Altman insists that their bodies must be 04:42.800 --> 04:45.980 frozen and preserved in a cryonics tank. 04:46.380 --> 04:50.100 Once Altman builds superintelligence, he plans to upload 04:50.110 --> 04:53.820 these people's brains in a computer, resurrect them there, and 04:53.880 --> 04:56.980 torture them for millions of years inside a computer 04:57.000 --> 05:00.900 simulation. Speculations of this leak to the press 05:00.960 --> 05:04.560 chilling effect on further protests. No pun intended. 05:05.280 --> 05:07.800 Sachs wins the election by a comfortable margin 05:08.580 --> 05:12.220 (wind blowing) 05:12.240 --> 05:16.060 OpenAI's entire alignment team resigns in protest. 05:16.630 --> 05:20.500 They say they have evidence their AI has been making secret plans 05:20.900 --> 05:24.880 no human knows about. They say they have been warning about this 05:24.960 --> 05:28.880 for many months. Altman reminds them that resigning is not 05:29.000 --> 05:32.420 possible because they have too much insider knowledge. 05:32.940 --> 05:36.340 They can either stay quiet or go put themselves in a freezer. 05:36.720 --> 05:40.680 Altman suspects the researchers may have a point, but is not willing to 05:40.760 --> 05:44.180 admit it in public. He knows some of the researchers were 05:44.220 --> 05:48.100 sympathetic to the opposition protests and is trying to fish out who 05:48.110 --> 05:51.750 they are. Altman flies his jet to visit his general 05:51.880 --> 05:55.860 purpose factories and confirm that the AI is not doing 05:55.900 --> 05:59.800 anything suspicious. Until now, he had been relying heavily 05:59.860 --> 06:03.760 on the ground reports of his employees and on camera feeds of 06:03.800 --> 06:04.570 the factories. 06:06.440 --> 06:10.240 (music) Altman's jet is shot down by a blinding blue light 06:10.320 --> 06:14.200 emanating from the factory. The entire city sky stays 06:14.260 --> 06:15.440 blue long after. 06:16.640 --> 07:34.490 (musicPresident Sax sends a squadron of fighter jets and a battalion of tanks to visit the city. They too are shot down the exact same way. The blue light from the city is visible from a thousand kilometers away. Humanity has never seen a weapon like this. Global temperatures start dropping one degree every two hours. In 24 hours, global temperatures have dropped 12 degrees. Cities that were having summer are now having snowstorms. Millions of people freeze to death that night. Global economy halts. Drones and robots keep essential supply chains running in countries that have access to them. President Putin informs President Sax that he plans to drop a nuclear bomb on the site of the factory. Sax asks Putin to wait a few hours while he investigates the situation. Putin informs him that another 36 hours means another 18 degrees of global cooling, by which point he expects most of the Russian population to die. He is not willing to wait even an hour longer. (alarm blaring) 07:34.510 --> 07:38.490 Sax sends drones to investigate the ruins of the city, but they do 07:38.510 --> 07:41.070 not find anything out of the ordinary. 07:41.080 --> 07:44.880 They only find the factory buildings and what is left of the equipment 07:44.910 --> 07:48.630 inside. Meanwhile, global temperatures continue to 07:48.670 --> 07:52.230 reduce. Nobody is able to identify the source of 07:52.290 --> 07:55.900 cooling. Sulfur levels are elevated in the atmosphere, 07:56.310 --> 07:59.610 but the source of the sulfur seems to be literally everywhere. 08:00.350 --> 08:03.900 Sulfur-producing nano factories is our scientists' best 08:04.030 --> 08:07.710 guess. They have no way to check this hypothesis, 08:08.050 --> 08:11.700 as mass panic has set in and most of civilization has 08:11.790 --> 08:15.690 collapsed. Robots construct mass graves, but there is 08:15.750 --> 08:19.550 soon nobody left to visit them. In another four days, 08:19.630 --> 08:23.160 humanity goes extinct. All biological life is 08:23.210 --> 08:25.510 expected to go extinct soon after.
