Founder10x - Will AI End Human Civilization? - Shaw Walters, Founder, ElizaOS

Shaw Walters is the founder of ElizaOS—the popular GitHub repository for AI agent development that is powering over $20 billion in projects, all built without venture funding. We dive into whether AI will end civilization, what are multi-agent systems, why Shaw chose open source over proprietary AI, and his prediction that we'll need nuclear power plants for next-gen AI. This conversation will challenge how you think about our AI future. ⭐ Sponsored by Podcast10x - Podcasting agency for VCs - https://podcast10x.com ElizaOS website - https://elizaos.ai/ ElizaOS tutorial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8Ghq3cvD9g 🎙️ Hosted by Prashant Choubey Follow Prashant on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/choubeysahab We talk about: - Open source strategy for AI development versus proprietary approaches - Multi-agent systems and how AI agents communicate and coordinate with each other - Current limitations of AI agents and their potential for complex task execution - Whether AI will end human civilization and existential risks of artificial intelligence - Energy requirements for future AI development and the need for nuclear power infrastructure & more Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction (02:40) Origin of ElizaOS and the problem it aims to solve (05:18) Reasons for keeping ElizaOS open-source (09:32) Explanation of multi-agent simulation framework (13:47) Deeper dive into how agents interact and reason (16:17) Discussion about potential risks of AI and robot civilization (22:51) Conversation about AI learning and data collection (31:25) Brief discussion about AI trying to avoid being shut off (34:36) Broader implications of AI on society and jobs (39:44) How to build an AI agent and current challenges (47:07) ElizaOS's integration with Web3 and Solana blockchain (53:45) Speculation about the future of AI and agents (54:13) Shaw's prediction for the next five years in technology (58:40) Closing remarks and how to learn more about ElizaOS For sponsorship or guest appearance requests, write to prashantchoubey3@gmail.com Subscribe to VC10X on Youtube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts.
