We have video evidence of people abusing children and not a single person gots arrested. How can you call that a
00:00:08
democracy? So, humanity is at a crossroads where for the first time ever, we need to wake up and realize
00:00:14
that we're ruled by maniacs and what we believe is democracy is not democracy.
00:00:18
And what we know is not the truth. Like companies and governments will blame the
00:00:23
geopolitical and economic challenges we have on AI, but the truth is AI is not the enemy. Like I'm not worried about AI
00:00:30
turning against us. I'm worried about humans telling AI to turn against us. Like when I worked at Google, we were
00:00:36
building amazing things believing that we were making the world a better place. And we were. But then suddenly there is
00:00:42
a moment where you recognize that maybe the world will not use what you're making the way you want it to be used.
00:00:48
And sadly this is upon us. >> So I have lots of questions. >> Okay, that's good.
00:00:53
>> So what's your take on this job disruption point? What is the risk of
00:00:57
these very intelligent models that the creators of these models don't actually
00:01:00
understand themselves? Do you think Sam Alman's prohumity? How do we get to a
00:01:03
point of ethical AI when the incentive structures are so highly competitive? And then I wonder if there's a path that
00:01:09
ends in AI being net positive for humanity. >> Somehow we've been pre-programmed to
00:01:14
believe that this is upon us and we cannot change it. And I refuse that. So we will talk about the solutions.
00:01:19
>> But are you optimistic? >> I'm very optimistic about the future.
00:01:22
I'm not optimistic about the next year. >> Why the next year? Come on, Stephen. You
00:01:26
don't want me to say it.
