This is classic. Let us build our monopoly, then after that we can introduce rigorous regulation to protect it from other upstarts.

[JazevoAudiosurf]

Sam is doing a great job as a CEO - he doesn't actually answer any questions

[iiiii]

"Let's regulate away open source competitors so I can create an artificial moat for my business ... and help humanity"

[Corkfish]

This guy's charity (Operation Hope) pays him a salary close to a million dollars a year.

[remsee]

He’s trying to get the government to restrict open source ai so his company can make more money 😂

[bryanbrian]

It would Be nice if we could have a ai president and vice president

[Ricolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Humans don't NEED jobs if we're in a world of abundance. I wish Sam would just come out and say this like he used to.

[sprescott]

My Youtube recommendation list is full of reporters asking AI gurus about regulation and existential fears, but never any questions about how access to these things will be priced. no one sees that the true goal of Google, OpenAi, Apple, FB etc is to develop these things so that whatever access they give us consumers, it is guaranteed to only be a thimbleful of what they have access to themselves. If we think there is wealth concentration today, just wait about 18-24 more months to see the disparity hockey stick again. Elysium here we come.

Dude looks like a villain straight outta a scifi movie

[PhoenixRising]

Getting the government involved What could go wrong

[mr.griffe]

This guy always gave off soyboy vibes. He's trying to use the government to block open source.

[boya]

Actually that Sam video was ai live generated

[RayNLA]

In 2015 Elon warned Obama about government regulations regarding AI

[letsgetlit]

He is a very bad man who cares nothing for ethics and only if he ‘can do’ something.

Never stopped to think if ‘he should’

#AI has potential to manipulate human behaviour

The General Public need to know "In the same way that a book can provide a gripping narrative with words and descriptions to engage a reader, a machine can also provide a spoken or written narrative.
Just as a book is inert, so too are the AI algorithms that act as its equivalent.
People can see faces in clouds or inanimate objects and feel emotions through inanimate words. The body of a book has no sensory apparatus for interactions, nor do AI algorithms, avatars or black boxes. Millions of years of culture and human conditioning create the images within the mind. While AI creates jpgs and uses synthetic constructed words, text, film format and binary digital 1 & 0 information, it lacks knowledge of organic, sensual, chemical and personal perceptions. Just like a digital book.
(A) Algorithms calculate in a mathematical way using 0s and 1s at the speed of light.
(B) Brains work in an organic biological way via evaluation and culture.
Two completely different Species evolving"
(A)MACHANIC (very new)
(B)ORGANIC & (very old )
Best not get fooled, we a are not the same Species.

International evaluations for safety as the systems become more dangerous etc. At some stage it would just be easier not to build the systems and going further than that (maybe), putting regulation on how big data processing systems can get. This guy is arguing we just absolutely need to create these issues. We don't.

Similar how we don't do build dangerous nuclear reactors, ie, don't be stupid.

[letsgetlit]

If this happens then we should tax every corporation 100% and redistribute all the wealth.

Capitalism is officially over. Welcome to the Robot world.

[rafeeqwarfield]

Sam is too smart and is running circles around the government and talking heads

[flareonspotify]

Regulating Ai = what are you going to do when you are no longer needed.
