"Obviously, the great contradistinction here is Europe, where, you know, it's like people have given up, and we — I really hope that turns around in Europe," he added.

Europe is giving up by having ethical, human focused, and probably open source AI/and not firing all their scientists and researchers? Meanwhile the GOP is literally trying to sneak language into a spending bill banning regulation for a decade?

What a pizza shit.

Sound advice would be to adopt the opposite position of anything that sociopath says.

Aren't even Libs pushing backdoor bills and other gross surveillance bills? Hear rich people's words, watch their actions. Including politicians.The less evidence supporting their words, the more evidence they're not worthy of their positions.

I mean, every apologist and defender of capitalist apocalyptic hellscapes will have that view, sadly. So long as it makes them an extra buck it's good for them, consequences to society or environment be damned.

As an European who does advocate and see value in the use of AI, but not at any cost, I'll take his opinion as a compliment. As they say, "I want AI to do my dishes while I create art, not for me to do the dishes while the AI produces insta-art".

And eventually if AI gets capitalistically out of hand and leads to many people in service-based economies to poverty and unhappiness we're sure to see a revolution to restore balance, as many times in history when a few elites made things unbearable for the rest of the population. AI is here to serve humanity, that's where the value is, not to serve only a select few.

I agree, and as I keep trying to point out to people in the U.S., I'm pretty sure the reason Trump is not even giving GOP loyalists emergency disaster money when something happens in their state, is because there's nothing left.

He literally put all of America's eggs in one basket because he (and Peter Thiel) thought/think if they just deregulate everything and keep throwing money at it as fast as possible they will win, and other countries will be coming to us to buy our AI.

Tbf they are definitely planning to use it for evil, not to make humanity better, but I still don't see why anybody would buy AI tech from the U.S.

I am wondering what happened in Brussels though, that made them say they're considering some deregulation.

Trump was also very pissy at all of the EU but apparently Brussels in particular really hurt his ego
