the biggest issue society has to manage is whether they're ok with 12 people owning 90% of everything.

I’m sick of this. Chasing money. Life was so much better before social media.

I don’t feel a gap in understanding the risks of AI. I feel a gap in the power to do anything about it.

"Didn't pay much attention to the catastrophic risks." Translation: Knew the risks, but chose to ignore them in favour of the possible (selfish) advantages.

I love how everyone that helped create the monster wants to warn us about it later. It’s like an admission of a crime

1:27:37 this is the third time he’s admitted he didn’t think about safety until he thought of his grand children.. because they don’t actually care about the future of humanity. Just his personal bloodline.

Notice this only hit him after he thought about his grandchild. These people love systems and don’t care at all about you. His whole life he never thought about your children or grandchildren. Only his own mattered enough to consider the consequences of his curiosity.
