Yeah.

A very, very sane state legislator at a reasonable AI safety bill.

And the AI industry is spending millions to kill him, even while they are... Not literally to kill him.

Well, I hope so, because that suggests he might make it through this thing.

And so, you know, you have a very weak, dysfunctional political class and system.

Then you have a very wealthy, motivated AI industry.

And then the question is, who compromises?

Who comes to the table?

And if you're a political figure right now—and this is why Alex Boris is such an important figure, in my opinion—

You're subject to these incentives where if you know you're going to lose your job if you decide to oppose this industry, then just hand wave and just let it go.

And that's where we are right now.

The question is whether that tide turns.

Dude, anything is a step in the right direction.

Like anyone can have any dividend of any kind and Yang will be

clapping and exhorting you on.

The ideas are all the same in the sense that we have to take some of the benefits from these innovations and then transfer them to people and families as quickly as possible.

And I don't care why someone wants to do that or how they want to do that.

You know what I mean?

You know, I think the thing that has made me the most sad, Kevin, has been the darkening of the culture in Silicon Valley, where a lot of folks who I think could have been talked into UBI type proposals or, hey, let's try and keep the machinery going, have given up.

They're just like, fuck it.
