Mitt is right that AI is our highest and most urgent national priority.

I don't believe we're going to see mass unemployment. AI will take many jobs, but it's likely to create just as many as it takes (if not more). The current data and history itself suggest this is the most likely outcome.

We're more likely to face extinction from nuclear weapons than AI, which is why we should end all of these pointless wars that have us on the brink of World War III.

Those who say AI will lead to the extinction of humanity have an obligation to answer a simple question: How will that happen exactly? It's math, algorithms, data, and advanced fabrication. How will that kill us on its own?

That said, AI weapons, pathogens, and surveillance are critical issues that our leadership class has completely failed to address.

We are in a crisis, but the technology itself is not the crisis. It's a total lack of leadership in every sector of society.

This lack of leadership has put us on an accelerated path toward totalitarianism. That should be our biggest fear.

And it's why we should resist things like UBI, government control over AI companies, and the use of this technology to surveil our own citizens or to murder innocent people.

Anthropic is calling for a collective pause (or slowdown) in AI development.

They must know this isn't going to happen, which makes one wonder why they're calling for it anyway.

Is this their Pontius Pilate moment? Washing their hands of whatever comes next.

Never heard of this until two days ago.
