Are we supposed to keep a straight face while reading these statements? This is Sam Bankman-Fried type of behavior, but applied to gullible AI proponents and opponents rather than "crypto bros". Let me guess, the next step is a proposed set of regulations written by OpenAI, Google and other Big Corporations who Care™ about people and just want to Do What's Best For Society™, setting aside the profit motive for the first time ever? We don't have to guess - we already know they're full of shit. Just look at OpenAI's response to proposed EU AI regulations which are actually trying to reduce the harm potential of AI. These empty platitudes ring so hollow that I'm amazed that anyone takes them seriously.

Explain to me why you think Max Tegmark wants this technology to be controlled by FAANG? Has his entire life been extremely in depth performance art?

  I've never made any statements about, nor do I have any personal beliefs about Max Tegmark in particular.

    Well people like him are on the list, so it's a bit strange you're claiming this is mostly about FAANG?

      FAANG are the only ones who stand to benefit financially. I'm taking the position that everyone else is simply a "useful idiot" for the likes of Sam Altman, in the most respectful way possible. Nobody is immune from getting wrapped up in hysteria, so I don't care who they are or what they have achieved when their signatures aren't supported by any kind of reasoning, much less sound reasoning.

  He’s making a statement alongside those who certainly aren’t championing these things for altruistic reasons. Nobody develops a groundbreaking technology and then says “we should probably be regulated”, unless they actually mean “everyone after us should probably be regulated by laws that we would be more than happy to help you write in a way that we keep our advantage, which we also have infinite resources to work both within and around”.
