And it was kind of interesting that this week there was, one of the presentations was singing the praises of artificial intelligence. And the people in the audience, tech people, pretty much drowned it out with booze. Brian Merchant says this week, OpenAI saw its products booed at south by Southwest and an embarrassing viral news cycle after its CTO chief technical officer claimed not to know if it had trained its models on YouTube videos.

So both of these incidents, he says, suggests the tide is turning against the world’s biggest AI company. Well, here’s the original presentation, and I’ll play a little bit of it for you before I play you what was recorded in the crowd because you can’t hear so much of it, because there’s so much booing. Artificial intelligence is the present. It’s here. Every company is going to look at AI and figure out how it helps make their companies more efficient.

Be an AI thinker. You know your business is going to be disrupted and you need to stop resisting and start learning. Instead of this thing. You have to resist. AI is actually a great equalizer. Find ways to leverage AI, accelerate faster. Be one of those people that leverages AI. Don’t be run over by it. That’s why there’s 1500 AI panels this year at south by. You’re worried about digital transformation, this digital divide that’s opening.

And there’s a completely different approach that could be very human. I actually believe that AI fundamentally makes us more human, where it really will do everything that humans can do, and that’s going to change things very dramatically. Our society is going to look very different. What impact will this have on society? We don’t know what the future is going to hold. I encourage everyone here just to stay curious questions that we are asking.

The direction that artificial intelligence heads is up to us. Yeah, well, you know, the technical people know that there’s a lot of beauvine excrement in all of that, especially the line there talks about the humanity of AI. This is what it looked like as they played that in the audience, digital culture makers. And I think if you look out into this room, you can tell that AI is a culture.

Artificial intelligence is an AI thinker. You know your business is going to be disrupted and you need to stop resisting. Stop resisting. Be one of those people that leverages AI. Don’t be run over. You’re worried about digital transformation. This digital divide is opening and there’s a completely different approach that could be very human. I actually believe that AI fundamentally makes us more human. Our society is going to look very different.

What impact does this have on society? We don’t know what the future is going to hold. I encourage everyone here to stay curious. Questions that we are asking. The direction that artificial intelligence heads is not the set box. Yeah, just stay curious. Well, you know Brian merchant who put that up? Several people put that up. I got it from him. But he mentions the fact that their products got booed at south by southwest.

Their CTO had a very embarrassing thing when they asked her about stealing content from other people. He didn’t even mention the fact about Gemini and the fact that it pictured how virently racist these big tech companies have become pushing this dei it is a weaponized, despicable racism. This was not a crowd, by the way, that was gathered at an art exhibition, says the author, or at a trade show for illustrators or a comic book convention.

These are the people who being ripped off by this stuff. This was an audience at one of the nation’s most prominent and influential tech conferences for the buzziest tech of the moment. To get shouted down at south by Southwest speaks volumes about the scale and the nature of the animosity that generative AI has amassed. The tech seen here as explosive, as exploitative by the people who are technologists.

The likes of Amazon, Facebook, and even Uber enjoyed years of good vibes and flattering press coverage before they began to curdle, or at least too complicated in the court of public opinion. But in this fast run up, OpenAI may have already hit that milestone of starting to have the bloom come off the rose, so to speak. The public has seen, and to some degree internalized what happens when we fail to contest big tech’s power? When they get what they want, folks, we get authoritarian regimes that use social media for deadly propaganda gig workers forced to sleep in their cars because they can’t make rent.

Amazon workers bruised and battered and urinating in bottles to sate the relentless productivity demands. We get steamrolled. Which may be why last fall, 79% of Americans said they did not trust corporations to use AI responsibly, according to a Gallup poll. OpenAI announced its new board last week. Listen, who’s on the new board, by the way? They had, as they point out, they kicked out Sam Altman momentarily because of concerns about whether or not he was trustworthy.

I don’t know how they got him back in. I got a lot of concerns still about him being trustworthy because of the products that he has spent has put out to us. So he’s back on the board. The board also includes a CEO of a gig company called Instacart. And listen to this, a veteran lawyer who represented both Oliver north in the Iran Contra affair and Bill Clinton in his impeachment hearings.

They are not looking for the best people, are they? He’s represented both the left and right in some of the low points of the, in terms of lack of integrity. Also on the board of OpenAI, the former head of the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation and Pfizer board member, and Larry Summer is a former U. S. Treasury secretary and president of Harvard. Well, they’re batting zero, aren’t they? That’s what I’m saying.

You look at OpenAI, look at these companies, Google and AI, they go to Congress, they say, well, this is really dangerous stuff and you should stop other people other than us doing this. We’re going to work with you. We also see that it copies, that it steals. I mean, if this thing is not satanic in its essence, the father of lies, copying and mimicking reality and stealing things and calling it their own, that is what artificial intelligence is.

Don’t get caught up in all of this Ray Kurzweil stuff or Joe Rogan stuff where they philosophize about we are hatching a new creation. We’re creating a new God, that type of thing. That is just their godless arrogance. Now what this thing is is it is a product of the father of lies. It is a grifting, lying, stealing, thieving, murdering, snitching, snooping technology. I don’t like it. If you’re feeling anxious about artificial intelligence, it’s probably because deep down, you know that you’re next.

Even if the jobs aren’t going to be lost, the value of the job will go down, right? He said, it will solely be compounded and normalized until we don’t even realize it. And then you look at this graphic here, AI unemployment. One person says, mass unemployment is the very ambition of the artificial intelligence industry. And so this guy puts this up. He says, mid journey is generating $300 million with 50 people.

In the artificial intelligence era, we should strive to create companies with less than 200 people and generate $1 billion in revenue. Okay? So doing more with less workers needed at Standard and poor’s 500 companies to generate a million dollars in revenue. And it shows this drastically declining from about eight workers at a company to generate a million dollars in revenue, you would need about eight workers back in 1985.

And it’s just a straight line coming down to the point where you get to two workers in about 2022 going from eight to two workers oh, there you go. You have 75% unemployment, which is what they were talking about with some of the worst examples, doctors and lawyers. So we’re going to take a quick break. When we come back, we’re going to take a look at electric vehicles, because, see, when we see what the goal is, when we understand.

This is why I talk about it as being a. Says, well, what is a Macguffin? Well, it’s a tool for hunting lions on the Scottish Highlands. And the guy says, well, there’s not any lions on the Scottish Highlands. Oh, well, then that’s not a MacGuffin. If we understand that there is no climate crisis, if we understand there is no pandemic, then they don’t have a MacGuffin. We just cut the legs out from under them.

In terms of what they want to do to us, the David Knight show is a critical thinking super spreader. If you’ve been exposed to logic by listening to the David Knight show, please do your part and try not to spread it. Financial support or simply telling others about the show causes this dangerous information to spread favour. People have to trust me. I mean, trust the science. Wear your mask, take your vaccine, don’t ask questions.

Using free speech to free minds. It’s the David Knight show. .
