I've been having deep waves of anxiety for a while about the version of society that these psychos are trying to impose onto us through their nefarious use of AI and tech in general. This was a clarifying conversation that made me realize I'm not crazy to be so terrified..didn't ease my anxiety but I feel less alone in my panic waves, and I learned a lot along the way which is always a good outcome. I just ordered the book :)
The fact that these guys don’t consider how this will affect the people at the bottom of the food chain - is exactly why I believe eugenics is at the base of their world view. And why this regime is anxious to cut Medicaid, Medicare, Social security. People who are not”productive” are just considered to be a drain on society. They are in the way, and therefore disposable .
Sam Altman is either a sociopath or a psychopath and he understands what people want to hear and manipulates them. That should not be confused either empathy
What an amazing conversation!!! Not only elucidating one of the primary topics we need to face in this moment, but also clearly expressing thoughts and questions that I’ve had but could not express well. Thank you so very much!!!
what a terrific conversation! Ai is the first technological advancement that takes from us far more than it gives,,and as an empire model, we can see how much we are giving up. Land, water, power, and then jobs just so that we no longer need to utilize our biological abilities to think, research, learn, and expand our civility. I did not see that coming.
OMG - as a marriage and family therapist this conversation is frightening. I am glad I am 75 years old and won’t see humanity come to these future possibilities. My work is supporting people find solutions relationally with empathy for all.
This is a general comment about The Ink. Many of us do not have time to watch endless videos. Much as they are interesting. How I wish there were transcriptions, or you would return to WRITING. Honestly, all these interviews are simply too much!
‘Transcript’ does not seem to appear on my iPad display. Is there a delay of the transcript bing available? I did find one another time after a day or two.
most people who work long hours for tiny wages have no time to read or listen to any kind for necessary discourse. I wish everyone had the time to listen to the many interesting people telling us about our world. But yeah, too many Substacks, I'm overwhelmed
“[A]ll of the resources that these companies need to develop their tools are ours. The data is ours. The land is ours. The energy is ours. The water is ours. The labor is ours… “. Boom!
Great interview. Timely warning. I’m reading this book now and (shameless plug) look forward to reviewing it on my new technology and society Substack, The Egg.
wow Karen Hao, you're so smart, we so need your intelligence!
Wonderful generous and illuminating conversation- THANKS so much
Most grateful thanks for hosting this illuminating conversation Anand and congratulations to Karen Hao for this seminal work ✨🙏🏽✨❤️✌🏽✨

Yes ...he acts like Ai

So interesting and helpful! I will definitely be sharing this. Thank you!
Such great questions, Anand. Thank you. And thank you to Karen Hao for this important work.

Look for the word “transcript” near the top of this post, and you will be delighted!
Oh boy, thanks!

I'd love more advice on how to opt out of AI in so many spaces in every day life.
