I should have more correctly said “better…and worse.” The former in that DB put eased many of my fears about AI’s potential to overwhelm humanity, the latter by reaffirming the potential of a tech autocracy - we’re already near that point, if it hasn’t already tipped - and its threat to Western liberal democracy. The partnership between Silicon Valley and the US government should raise the hair on everyone’s neck, as the Twitter files and subsequent fallout have demonstrated. Make sense?
My sense was that DB was noting that AI would not replace man: it's a technology, and controllable, as Dave was in 2001. Perhaps I misread his argument?
I'm most sure AI will be used as much as possible to concentrate power regardless of who is right in this debate. I'd like to see more about the consequences of that

Yes, that's up next.

David's insights are astonishing. I want more, please.
He’s hands down the best teacher I’ve never met.
