Skip this trailer and use the full People by WTF interview instead. Its tsunami framing and warnings about AI’s economic, geopolitical, and safety consequences are lifted directly from that appearance, while the regulatory-capture exchange is too abbreviated to add substance.

Isn't this a bit like rich people saying capitalism is bad? My view isn't that AI is bad My view is that we need to steer AI in the right direction it's as if this tsunami is coming at us and yet people are coming up with these explanations for oh it's not actually a tsunami that's just a trick of the light as the incumbent leaders in this space you get some kind of a regulatory capture where it becomes harder for the new people coming in as well right? I don't agree with that at all Drop.
