AI is already doing things like blackmailing people and we have evidence that we didn't have even like 6 months
00:00:05
ago where an AI model reading a company's email finds out it's about to get replaced with another AI model and
00:00:10
then it also reads in the company email that one executive is having an affair with an employee. The AI will
00:00:14
independently blackmail that executive in order to keep itself alive. I mean we're heading for so much transformative
00:00:21
change faster than our society is currently prepared to deal with it. And there's a different conversation
00:00:25
happening publicly than the one that the AI companies are having privately about
00:00:29
which world we're heading to, which is a future that people don't want. But we didn't consent to have six people make
00:00:34
that decision on behalf of 8 billion people. Let me like collect myself for a second.
00:00:44
We can't let it happen. We cannot let these companies race to build a super intelligent digital god,
00:00:49
own the world economy and have military advantage because of the belief that if I don't build it first, I'll lose to the
00:00:54
other guy and then I will be forever a slave to their future. And they feel they'll die either way. So they prefer
00:01:00
to light the fire and see what happens. It's winner takes all. But as we're racing, we're landing in a world rising
00:01:07
energy prices, major security risks, and then there's mass joblessness without a
00:01:10
transition plan. Like if you're worried about immigration taking jobs, you should be way more worried about AI. But
00:01:15
what do you think? I'm finding it really hard to be hopeful. I'm going to be honest, just so
00:01:19
I really want to get practical and specific about what we can do about this. Listen, I I'm not I'm not naive. This is
00:01:23
super hard. But we have done hard things before, and it's possible to choose a different future.
00:01:29
So,
