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.
