00:00:00
So much of what's happening today in the AI industry is extremely inhumane. >> But this is me playing devil's advocate.
00:00:06
And logically, it could be the case that the civilization that accelerate their research with AI is going to be the
00:00:12
superior civilization. >> No, it's not. This is a prediction that you're making, right?
00:00:15
>> Making Zuckerberg's making. >> And do you know what the common feature
00:00:19
of all of them is? They profit enormously off of this myth. You know, I have all these internal documents
00:00:24
showing that they're purposely trying to create that feeling within the public so
00:00:28
that they can extract and exploit and extract and exploit. So, what do we do about it?
00:00:32
>> We need to break up the empires of AI. >> You know, I've been covering the tech
00:00:36
industry for over 8 years, interviewed over 250 people, including former or current OpenAI employees and executives.
00:00:42
And I can tell you that there are many parallels between the empires of AI and the empires of old, right? like Lelay
00:00:48
claimed the intellectual property of artists, writers, and creators in the pursuit of training these models.
00:00:52
Second, they exploit an extraordinary amount of labor, which breaks the career ladder because someone gets laid off and
00:00:57
then they work to train the models on the very job that they were just laid off in, which will then perpetuate more
00:01:03
layoffs if that model then develops that skill. And when they talk about that there's going to be some new jobs
00:01:08
created that we can't even imagine, a lot of the jobs that are created are way
00:01:12
worse than the jobs that were there. And then there's the environmental and public health crisis that these
00:01:17
companies have created and how they're able to also spend hundreds of millions
00:01:21
to try and kill every possible piece of legislation that gets in their way and will censor researchers that are
00:01:27
inconvenient to the empire's agenda. But what I'm saying is not that these
00:01:32
technologies don't have utility. It's that the production of these technologies right now is exacting a lot
00:01:37
of harm on people. But we have research that shows that the very same capabilities could be developed in a
00:01:44
different way that doesn't have all of these unintended consequences. So, let's
00:01:48
talk about all of
