Thanks so much for having me, Dana.
It's interesting what exactly breaks through on the internet case days, you know, particularly in political conversations.
But I was actually scrolling through X formerly Twitter the night that this anthropic researchers, now former anthropic researchers post went viral.
And it was interesting to see the politicians.
That have kind of a more overt and consistent online presence that were retweeting him, and how that was sort of playing to both kind of the more conservative mega ecosystem online, the more right-wing ecosystem online, as well as progressive spheres.
You know, people like Representative Anna Paulina Luna, who's a Florida Republican.
Republican and kind of a maverick on some issues were tweeting very soon after this warning came out saying that Congress needed to do something.
Congresswoman Luna said that Congress needed to call a special session on AI guardrails.
And then, of course, you had folks like Senator Bernie Sanders and Congressman Greg Cassar.
Who is the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus who were sounding a lot more dire alarm bells about the future of AI and its implications on the the humanity, the workforce, right?
There there were all sorts of warnings that for a period there, just because of the nature of the way that social media works, um, it was something that just broke through all of the
the barriers online and there are a lot of members of Congress and lawmakers and very important people who could actually do something about this who are on these social media platforms and and I think that it resonated with them.
Yeah, it was very interesting.
Steve Bannon, Senator Bernie Sanders, Greg Cassar, like I said, the uh arguably one of the most progressive members of Congress, Congressman Chip Roy, uh Texas Republican, member of the House Freedom Caucus, very conservative.
All of those people were at the same event this week in Washington called the Pro Human Assembly, where
They were essentially pushing for the future of the American economy, of society to continue to primarily be led by humans.
It's kind of, it's actually incredibly dystopic that that we're even talking about this and having these types of conversations.
And I think they would agree with that assessment, which is why they were all gathered at this event in Washington.
Washington and talking about the need to be policy making uh when it comes to AI and and super intelligence, and ensuring that there is some sort of a a slowdown, um, independent uh monitorship of uh the development of more advanced AI, uh very strange political bedfellows on this issue that have.
been created over the past couple of weeks.
