Tech Whistleblower: You Only Have 3 Years Left Before This Hits! - Mo Gawdat

We have video evidence of people abusing children and not a single person got arrested. How can you call that a democracy? So humanity is at a crossroads where for the first time ever we need to wake up and realize that we're ruled by maniacs. And what we believe is democracy is not democracy. And what we know is not the truth. Like companies and governments will blame the geopolitical and economic challenges we have on AI, but the truth is AI is not the enemy. Like I'm not worried about AI turning against us, I'm worried about humans telling AI to turn against us. Like when I worked at Google, we were building amazing things, believing that we were making the world a better place. And we were. But then suddenly there is a moment where you recognize that maybe the world will not use what you're making the way you want it to be used. And sadly this is upon us.

So I have lots of questions. Okay, that's good. So what's your take on this job disruption point? What is the risk of these very intelligent models that the creators of these models don't actually understand themselves? Do you think Sam Altman's pro humanity? How do we get to a point of ethical AI when the incentive structures are so highly competitive? And then I wonder if there's a path that ends in AI being net positive for humanity. Somehow we've been pre programmed to believe that this is upon us and we cannot change it. And I refuse that. So we will talk about the solutions. Are you optimistic? I'm very optimistic about the future. I'm not optimistic about the next year. Why the next year? Come on, Stephen. You don't want me to say it.
