  1. I just want to be able to go on road trips, do some drag racing, and be able to go anywhere I can imagine on the planet. Oh yeah and be able to play my bagpipes.

  2. You brought up in your video the argument that we have to build AGI first or else China will, but in either case we all die. One thing that I've never heard anyone mention, however, is what to do about Chinese LLM's and AI models. I can understand going after Anthropic, OpenAI, GOOGLE, etc., as those are primarily U.S. companies and our laws and regulations could stop AI development (like what Bernie Sanders wants to do); however, nobody talks about DeepSeek, Kling AI, etc. which are Chinese models from Chinese companies. Since China is an entirely different nation with its own values, rules, etc., what leverage do you have to convince them to stop their AI development and stop racing towards AGI/ASI? Nobody ever talks about this. The CCP isn't going to care what a bunch of westerners have to say. If you can't convince them, how will you force them to stop? You can talk about the "if we don't do it first, they will" argument and why that's flawed, but if you offer no solution for the other team whose still working diligently on AI technologies, your concerns are going to fall on deaf ears.

  3. Agi is highly unlikely. It has a huge unsolvable problem. Scale. The irony here is the obvious bottom feeding grabbing likes and shares for pennies discussing a subject on absolute greed. Using fear to scare you with so many outright lies. "It will be able to replicate itself " aliens will come from it. "

  4. like nukes, AI is not going away. if the USA puts restrictions on AI then Russia and China will get an AI edge–that is the actual situation here. AI is already killing humans in the Ukraine war. It surprised me how easily AI was accepted in warfare. The response was,"AI can't be jammed, this is a great weapon. "

  5. Of course, having AI/robotics/automation will stifle human evolution, as well. Best case scenario is that everything is done for us & we are free to become idiot couch potatoes & sofa squashes. 😂

    Worst case scenario is the annihilation of 90% of humankind.

  6. WHY are BILLIONAIRES concerned with making even more money?? Even just $1 billion is enough money to live a great life for many many many many many lifetimes. I just do not get it. I don’t understand the greed.

  7. Sam Altman isn’t a guy looking to build Utopia. Quite the opposite. Remember he is a prolific liar. It’s how he got were he is and if you watch him enough the mask slips.
    Peter Thiel is the devil we can see while Sam Altman is the one trying to hide what he really is.

  8. The human species is a pestilence to this planet. We create very little good compared to what we destroy. Hopefully the 2029 meteor fixes the problem.😊😊😊

  9. The USA and China need to have strategic talks about AI. The USA and Soviet Union agreed to treaties limiting nuclear weapons and we need to treat AI the same way. The argument that we can't let China "win" AI needs to be taken off the table. Will it happen?! Of course not, the irony is that AI would be justified to wipe out our chanker of a species before we destroy the planet.

  10. I don't see why this technology should be in the hands of obvious psychopaths? Unprivatize it. It could be used to track markets and fight wealth inequality. As it can handle alot of information that a human central committee would have problems handling. Structure it up and put in all kinds of safeguards against misuse. It could be a check against human stupidity too.

  11. Most people only care about their desires. Themselves, how they feel. The majority have lost empathy. I'm somewhere in between a zealot and opportunist. Some will act like they care about the future, but really only care about their progeny and pets, and care about no one else. We have been divided, and soon to be conquered. Enjoy the show 🍿🍾

  12. They just want legal slaves that's all they want is free labor then they will start thinning the population inventing things like covid. Not only will they not need us to make money for them they won't need us at all we'd be a nuisance. All the money in the world is rapidly being funneled into the hands of the few. Thats when the game is one
    .

  13. Its very odd how these guys are going around warning people about the big AI take over yet ee all know that the elites kill people for way less than this, yet they get on every platform and repeatedly warn people and nothing happens to them… that seems like a plant to me for causing mass panic.

  14. If we really are on the verge of extinction why are they not bringing all this AI to a pause and stop going any further??
    If a few ego maniacs want to see who wins the race to make the perfect machine, are they not smart enough to realise that if humanity will delete because of what they are doing, there will be no one around to admire their achievements, so whats the point!??

  15. I’m starting to think that extinction will be a better option than trying to figure out what is going on? Or maybe just stop watching the news.

  16. It s great that we have content like this but are we going to continue and talk about it try and pass bills that will never pass or are we going to fight for are survival or let them erase us it’s real the only way out of this is to act Now
