#387 – George Hotz: Tiny Corp, Twitter, AI Safety, Self-Driving, GPT, AGI & God

There's probably a few of those people. And the problem is inherently what the algorithm rewards, right? And people think about these algorithms. People think that they are terrible, awful things. And, you know, I love that Elon open sourced it. Because, I mean, what it does is actually pretty obvious. It just predicts what you are likely to retweet and like and linger on.

That's what all these algorithms do. That's what TikTok does. That's what all these recommendation engines do. And it turns out that the thing that you are most likely to interact with is outrage. And that's a quirk of the human condition.

I was hoping, and I remember when Elon talked about buying Twitter six months earlier, he was talking about a principled commitment to free speech. And I'm a big believer and fan of that. I would love to see an actual principled commitment to free speech. Of course, this isn't quite what happened. Instead of the oligarchy deciding what to ban, you had a monarchy deciding what to ban. Right?
