What about if we wipe out manufacturing jobs in America? You assume that is a good suggestion? No, Bernie, I do not assume that is a good suggestion.
Ought to your child get attached with an AI bot? No, Bernie, that is harmful. I am scared about that.
What about having your privateness utterly invaded? Is that a good suggestion? No. I treasure my privateness. All proper.
How, within the face of AI, can we take care of all of these points? For those who say to folks, “Guess what? You’re working 50 hours per week now, 40 hours per week. We’re gonna decrease your work week to twenty, 30 hours, and also you’re gonna get the identical pay. How’s that?”
“Hey, I’m in for that.”
I imply, I am in for that.
Yeah. Properly, so is everyone else.
I do actually like working, however level taken.
We’ll mean you can work longer hours.
Thanks.
But when AI goes to create wealth, ought to that wealth profit you and everyone else, and my grandchildren? Or simply Mr. Musk and his buddies? You realize, I believe 90 % of the persons are on our aspect in answering that query.
I do know you don’t spend a lot time with the Musks of the world …
I don’t.
You don’t, however you probably did spend a while with Sam Altman lately. I believe you spent an hour collectively speaking, specifically, concerning the sovereign wealth fund proposal. You mentioned Altman was, quote, “Not enthusiastic concerning the thought.” You additionally characterised him as politician.
Yeah.
What had been your impressions of him while you met?
He’s a sensible man.
Good man?
Yeah, very sensible man, and he’s very personable, and I believe he’s salesman, that’s what he does.
I believe politician as effectively. These are sensible guys. They had been making an attempt to inform us a few years in the past, “Oh, AI is so nice. It’s so fantastic. Everyone’s gonna profit.” And now they’re seeing folks more and more don’t consider that.
So that you’re sitting there, you’re Sam, and a few of these guys, “Properly, what’s your response?”
“Properly, what am I gonna … I gotta give the American folks one thing. Guess what? We’re gonna offer you 5 % of the advantages of the factor. ’Trigger we’re good guys. Simply out of the goodness of our personal coronary heart.”
So that they’re gonna have to determine how they’ll promote their product and their transformation to the American folks, and that’s a technique. Trump is identical method. You realize, I do not consider a phrase that Trump says. However after I made that [sovereign wealth fund] announcement, he got here on, “Oh, it’s an attention-grabbing thought.”
Is there a world the place the Altmans, the tech corporations, get there earlier than lawmakers, the place they notice that they’ve such a critical optics downside that they should do greater than they’re doing to appease the American public?
I believe you’ll see that occuring. However the difficulty isn’t just, “OK, you compelled me. I’m gonna offer you a pair thousand {dollars} a yr. You bought it.” The problem is energy.
