Good conversation with Anton Korinek @Casey@theforkiverse.com and @kevin@theforkiverse.com. One phrase he used stuck with me: "IN THE EYES OF AI..." then he went on to explain that many aspects of AI growth will not show up in the GDP metrics. I think that wording opens up a tough reality that is currently being swept under the economic rug. Who's eyes are we looking through when we measure? The math elephant in the room: How can AI drive growth to 10X if the humans who buy stuff no longer have income to buy stuff with?

When we premiered "The Apprentice" at Cannes, Donald Trump immediately threatened to sue any distributor who would dare try and bring the movie to audiences. I witnessed the entire industry bowing down to him. Now, the biggest entertainment companies are fusing with political power to the point of being indistinguishable. Trump understands that we all live our lives by the stories we attach our identities to. That is how he is able to defy political gravity.

as @Casey@theforkiverse.com and @kevin@theforkiverse.com pointed out, the fact that one company is the only apparent resistance to a race to autonomous weapons and mass surveillance, the real headline should be governance failure.

I do actually admire Anthropic's stance here. But I think we should have all learned over the last five years that we cannot rely on the "ethical positioning" of giant corporations, which have flailed from wildly woke to enthusiastic boot lickers.
