Why don't we let AI models get barcertified and get medically certified. So if the AI models, it turns out, are actually proving to be more accurate, more thoughtful, more responsive, more reasonable, whatever it is, whatever metric we're using, and they pass the same criteria as one would need to pass to qualify for the bar or to qualify for a a doctor uh certificate, why don't we do that for the AI. If that then happens, then the the same privilege occurs to the AI as it does to the individual human that ...

Let's think on a societal basis of what we want. Do we want a society in which journalists, writers, artists, musicians, filmmakers, actors cannot make a living or do we want a world in which they can. As a technologist, we typically think if we can crawl it, it's ours.What I can tell you as an artist is if I make it, it's mine and you need my permission cuz it's my art. This is such an important point, especially to me as a content creator and somebody who spent his career in this. I've been thinking about ...

If I'm a betting man, which I am, I think the GDP print's going to come in above three.Not quite four, but above three. I said a couple weeks ago that I thought the GDP print was going to come in hot. I think everybody now is sort of where I am.I think it's going to be in the low ...
