βHow many people in this room have deployed agentic AI?β
(About 1/3 of hands go up)
βWho thinks we have adequate safety systems for agentic?β
(None go up)
β¦so why deploy it?!

Enough is enough. After 3+ years of moving (too) fast and breaking (a lot of) things, it's time for truly #ResponsibleAI. How? By focusing on the 3 pillars of CSR: People, Planet and Profit.

The same argument as a ridiculous Nature paper (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) that was shot to shit ages ago. Altman, your delusion level is now beyond worrying.
Also: the crowd laughing in agreement at what he says should also be slapped around the chops
Sickening. A $5bn EV battery plant has been left idle by Ford, effectively cutting 1600 local jobs. Why? Trump. On his watch, EV sales projections have gone from 45% of cars by 2030 to 9-18%. Petrol cars are the no1 source of consumer emissions. This is literally killing the planet flip.it/CEacVe

After tech firms blaming AI for job cuts (itβs actually because they over-hired post covid), car firms are blaming steep shift-to-electric costs for poor results. Had they thought of the planet a bit sooner, would they still be in this mess?

We tried the carrot. Hereβs the stick.
#ICE is ramping up attacks against immigrants and American citizensβ and #Palantir is their surveillance backbone.
Go to www.purgepalantir.com/the-palantir-payroll/ for the list of dirty politicians trading our rights for Palantir $$$ β then call them out.
NEW: Our investigation for @thenerve_news reveals not only that Peter Thielβs Palantir is completely enmeshed in our critical national infrastructure.
Itβs also the βcloud supportβ for our nuclear weapons system π€―

"Iβm just going to go to Sam Altmanβs house, take all of his things, and then see if he wants to opt out." @karaswisher.bsky.socialβs excellent quote perfectly sums up big AIβs robber baron approach to IP. Especially now we know Anthropic hid plans to "destructively scan" all the worldβs books" π₯Ά
