In general, I see the threat this poses because if this is just the beginning and AI is used this way long term, I see how it can be used to enforce ideological obedience.

Because if you live in a world where somebody who doesn't have my ability to fight back

it's just an average person you know doesn't have a ton of money to be able to fight this if they're dealing with a reality where ai one of the big frontier labs doesn't like their politics and they decide to lie about them

And when prospective employers look them up, they get back fake crimes.

Imagine how that's going to destroy people's lives.

And if the only fix to that is, don't speak out about politics.

Don't speak out about what you actually think.

You can see where it gets dangerous very fast.

Yeah, you know, I don't know why a bunch of legacy media companies are not suing them over this because they misrepresented every single one of them that was cited as a source and wrote fake stories and things along those lines.

I would absolutely be suing if I was in a position to at one of those companies.

in terms of winning yeah i mean some of the foremost legal experts have stood and said yeah i think there's very very strong likelihood that robbie will win this case you know there's a possibility we have a hearing actually in less than two weeks um and there's a possibility they may ask us to amend and come back which is just a byproduct of the fact that we have had so many people come forward

since we filed with more facts that we didn't know, including continued defamation.

I hope they don't do that just because I feel like that adds a delay that Google I'm sure would love, but we do need to continue to be able to kind of like share what's happening as the defamation continues.

But I do think we're in a great position.

I think we've got to take this all the way because I think we need to set a precedent here

And I think, you know, like you said, there's all these unintended consequences with AI if you don't get it right, if you don't have, you know, really serious principles in how you're building it.

So, you know, in the case of, you know, what's happened with Scott, I can't even watch the video because it just, it makes me so mad, this AI Scott thing that they're doing.

The truth is,

Imagine something like this in the hands of a foreign actor in a foreign government, and what's happening is you actually change the long-term view people have of that person because they're going to now confuse whatever happens here on out, clips of that AI here on out, with what the man, Scott Adams, actually said and believed.

and so you materially change their uh the way they're viewed by the public you materially change even the way that they're viewed by people that knew them because uh people will start to go wait was that scott or is that the thing and it's so hard to discern here's where things get really scary and i think this is a great jumping off point to understand this for people
