Description

AI poses real existential threats. The global economy is dependent on it, it's being deployed in war zones and used for domestic surveillance, and it's increasingly integrated into our medical and financial sectors. But the guy sitting atop the world's biggest AI company, Sam Altman, is regarded by some colleagues as a liar, driven by a quest for power, and someone with sociopathic tendencies. When Biden was in the White House, Altman was worried about the limited regulation of AI; under Trump, he's loving that the shackles have come off. Plus, Tim on how the Dems need to get the politics of the Iran war right: Welcome converts into the fold, and prioritize American interests. Ronan Farrow and Andrew Marantz join Tim Miller to discuss their New Yorker piece on Sam Altman. For their buy 1 get 1 50% off deal, head to https://3DayBlinds.com/THEBULWARK.

Congress is in dereliction of their duties… where the actual F are they?! They need to address this psychotic behavior. No more “wait and see”. It’s insanity and needs to end.

Like Tim I am a lapsed Catholic but I really appreciate Pope Leo speaking out so directly against this war and these insane threats.

Love you Tim, but “pissed” is not the right word. We’re terrified! We’re furious! We’re distraught! We don’t have words to express the level of horrified we feel at having a demented, mad, sociopath for a president right now.

Tim, I was born a Republican and worked for a state rep and a US rep in DC, but today I’m the only Democrat in a family of MAGAs. You are living in la la land. I became a Democrat during the Reagan era. And to this day, I don’t understand how Reagan’s racism, tripling of deficit and operations that violated the rule of law, in very large ways, not small ones, wasn’t a wake-up call for more people.

The use of AI for surveillance is as scary as it gets. The ability to collect, collate, and act on the product of its spyware is something we should all b fighting against.
