What he is really saying is they are going to kill you one way or another economically at first and then when they get the tech right. Their army of drones/robots. He can’t just say that outright to this population.
Sadly, Bernie is - and always has been - just a politician. One of the few good ones, but still out there playing the popular angles. AI taking everyone’s job is the popular angle of the moment.
He got sold a bad narrative about AI by a guy who runs an AI doom cult in the Bay Area. (The cult leader also got funded by the same industry. Go figure.)
With that in mind, what he took away from those meetings isn’t great, but it’s the best possible result of them.
I think its more about “meet the people where they are at”. “AI” is in the zeitgeist and is useful as a focal point for the fact that its a really small club and you ain’t in it.
It’s worth being able to recognize his face if you see it. Frankly, I’d trust the credentials and truthfulness of Sam Altman over Yudkowski… At least his agenda is more apparent.

LLMs and current generative AI won’t. But there will be better AI systems in the future.
And consider the scale of the datacenters they’re building: New AI data center in Utah will generate and consume more than twice the amount of power the entire state uses. They’re installing 9GW of natural gas turbines on site. They’re planning for better AI that will be much different from the current batch.
While we all know that current AI is much worse than human work, consider that they might just use it anyway, and not care that their product is shit.

Eliezer Yudkowsky is not the people. He is a cult leader. He is less a meeting of “the people” as Ron Hubbard himself.
was referring to bernie’s use of the AI issue. I know nothing about yudkowsky. an interesting research or just ignore?
