AI Whistleblower: We Are Being Gaslit By The AI Companies! They’re Hiding The Truth About AI

So much of what's happening today in the AI industry is extremely inhumane. But this is me playing devil's advocate. And logically, it could be the case that the civilization that accelerate their research with AI is going to be the superior civilization. No, it's not. This is a prediction that you're making, right? All's making, Zuckerberg's making, Uplands making. And you know what the common future of all of them is? They profit enormously off of this myth. You know, I have all these internal documents showing that they're purposely trying to create that feeling within the public so that they can extract and exploit and extract and exploit. So what do we do about it? We need to break up the umpires of AI.

You know, I've been covering the tech industry for over eight years. Interviewed over 250 people, including former or current open AI employees and executives. And I can tell you that there are many parallels between the umpires of AI and the empires of old. Right? Like lay claim to the intellectual property of artists, writers, and creators in the pursuit of training these models. Second, they exploit an extraordinary amount of labor, which way Fix the career ladder because someone gets laid off and then make work to train the models on the very job that they were just laid off in, which will then perpetuate more layoffs if that model then develops that skill. And when they talk about that there's gonna be some new jobs created that we can't even imagine, a lot of the jobs that are created are way worse than the jobs that were there. And there's the environmental and public health crisis that these companies have created, and how they're able to also spend hundreds of millions to try and kill every possible piece of legislation that gets in their way and will censor researchers that are inconvenient to the empire's agenda. But what I'm saying is not that these technologies don't have utility, it's that the production of these technologies right now is exacting a lot of harm on people, but we have research that shows that the very same capabilities could be developed in a different way that doesn't have all of these unintended consequences. So let's talk about all of that. Guys, I've got a favor to ask before this episode begins. The algorithm, if you follow a show, will deliver you the best episodes from that show very prominently in your feed. So when we have our best episodes on this show

And I would be hugely grateful if you could take a minute on the app you're listening to this one right now and hit that follow button. Thank you so, so so much. You've written this book in front of me here called Empire of AI. Dreams and nightmares in Sam Altman's Open AI. I guess my first question

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript, segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

10 free credits is 10 episodes like this one a month. Episodes nobody has transcribed yet cost their length in hours, because we have to actually transcribe them.
