    Peter Diamandis: "AGI Is Already Here - They Just Haven't Released It Yet"

    What if the Singularity isn’t coming but already here? This episode is brought to you by AgelessRx, where aging becomes a puzzle that can be solved. The mission is to help you live longer and healthier by adding more life to your years through science-backed solutions and personalized care. Learn more at http://agelessrx.com/beyond-tomorrow AI is accelerating breakthroughs across science, medicine, and technology at a pace once considered impossible. Peter Diamandis believes the next 5–10 years could redefine what humanity can achieve. Yet AI’s promise is competing with fear, disruption, and dystopian narratives. The challenge is not only building the future, but shaping how people imagine it. For Peter Diamandis, the answer is actionable optimism: identify the risks, believe they can be solved, and pursue the biggest moonshots. Longevity, education, and space could become the foundations of a radically different future. Peter Diamandis is an entrepreneur, physician, and founder of XPRIZE and Singularity University. He is a leading advocate for moonshot thinking and breakthrough technologies. ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:10 The Blinding Speed of Change 02:06 A Future Where Anything Is Possible 04:06 Why Is the West Afraid of AI? 08:39 Why Fear AI? 10:23 AGI Is Already Here 11:37 Blind Optimism vs. Actionable Optimism 13:01 The Next Great Moonshot 14:01 The Rise of an Alien-Looking Economy 15:10 Who Will Win the XPRIZE? 15:46 If Tomorrow Was Your Last Day...

    BT Clip: AGI Pioneers: ChatGPT Won’t Get Us to AGI.. Here’s What Will (Ben Goertzel)

    Are large language models like ChatGPT and Claude enough to create AGI?In this clip, Ben Goertzel explains why today’s LLMs are incredibly powerful, but still fundamentally different from true artificial general intelligence.He argues that simply building a bigger version of ChatGPT or Claude is unlikely to produce human-level AGI. Instead, reaching AGI will require new AI architectures that can go beyond their training, generalize to unfamiliar problems and make genuinely novel leaps in reasoning.Ben also explains why current models can already outperform humans in areas like coding, mathematics and knowledge retrieval, while still struggling with the kind of imagination and general intelligence humans use to push beyond existing knowledge.

    Ben Goertzel: Whoever Gets AGI First Can CONQUER THE PLANET

    How close are we to AGI? This episode is brought to you by AgelessRx, where aging becomes a puzzle that can be solved. The mission is to help you live longer and healthier by adding more life to your years through science-backed solutions and personalized care. Learn more at http://agelessrx.com/beyond-tomorrow The race toward AGI is entering a new phase. Ben Goertzel explores alternative paths to intelligence beyond simply building bigger models. The conversation also examines the global AI race. The U.S. and China are competing for technological leadership. But the future of AI may not remain centralized. Then comes the bigger question: what happens after superintelligence? Goertzel imagines AI that could protect humanity. It could even help overcome aging, disease, and other human limitations. Ben Goertzel is an AI researcher, futurist, and CEO of SingularityNET and BGI Labs. Widely recognized as one of the pioneers of Artificial General Intelligence, he has spent more than two decades developing decentralized AI systems designed to benefit humanity. What You’ll Learn Why the AI revolution may be bigger than previous technological shifts How AI could become an extension of human intelligence Why agency may matter more than machine consciousness How the brain creates a simulated model of reality Whether consciousness could emerge on different substrates Why AI alignment is also a problem of human alignment How AI could help humanity become smarter and more coherent ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:07 What Happens in the Next 12 Months? 03:41 Why China Is Catching Up 07:36 Why China Wants AI Control 10:18 Can Governments Control AI? 13:02 Human-Level AGI vs Superintelligence 15:35 Will ASI be Chinese or American? 17:47 The Next Breakthrough to AGI 21:05 How AI Could Become More Intelligent 22:23 Why Language Powers AI 27:33 Can Decentralized AI Change Everything? 32:23 The Global Race vs Decentralized AI 36:22 Would Superintelligence Protect Humanity? 40:19 Can We Build Compassionate AGI? 46:27 Why AI Arms Races Are Dangerous 51:14 Why Governments Shouldn’t Control AI 53:17 Can the Government Keep Up With AI? 54:00 Will Open AI Challenge Big Tech? 55:12 The Future of Decentralized AI 56:27 Could 2045 Arrive by 2028?

    BT Clip: AGI Is Almost Here, ASI Could Follow Overnight - Emad Mostaque

    Could AGI arrive within the next three to four years and super-intelligence follow almost immediately? Emad Mostaque, founder of Intelligent Internet, explains why he believes the first stage of the singularity has already begun, why recursive self-improvement could accelerate AI from AGI to ASI in as little as a day, and why the convergence of AI and quantum computing could transform the world faster than most people expect. In this clip, Emad reveals why leading AI experts believe AGI is rapidly approaching, how today’s models are already outperforming top programmers, and why many jobs could become economically irrelevant within the next 1,000 days.
