What is the secret “fight club” of Democrats in the Senate?

Angie Sullivan 0:00
I'm worried about the leadership as it comes in and I'm not alone in that.
Chris Murphy 0:04
Yeah, as you probably have seen, there's a group of us inside the Senate that um, you know, has been kind of termed fight club, right? That talks pretty regularly about making sure that if we win, that we shape an agenda. Wait, who's in
Angie Sullivan 0:15
the who's in the fight club?
Angie Sullivan 0:30
All right, joining me today is Senator Chris Murphy, author of the new book, Crisis of the Common Good, which I have a copy of here. Love the blue jacket. It's great because we need a blue tsunami. Senator, how are you today?
Chris Murphy 0:42
I'm good. I was kind of going uh with the design for like uh nineteen eighties political science textbook. Is it like does that register?
Angie Sullivan 0:51
It does. I mean, I I would have had that class in the 80s. So yeah, totally. So several AI oligarchs are sounding the alarm over the product that they created and calling for the immediate slowdown of the development of AI. This is what anthropic CEO Dario Omedi had to say. Let's play the clip.
Dario Amodei 1:13
Technology completely.
Angie Sullivan 1:14
Would you be willing to give up the technology to the government?
Dario Amodei 1:17
To the to the right combination of governments. So the worry I have
Angie Sullivan 1:22
willing to hand over this company.
Dario Amodei 1:24
I want to be very clear about this. The w the worry I have, I am concerned that one single government could abuse this technology just as easily as a single company could. But I think a combination of democratically elected governments. I don't know about handing over, but some kind of oversight, some kind of joint governance. Again, that would be the work of years, but I wonder if that's the direction we need to go in.
Angie Sullivan 1:55
Senator, what's your take on all of this? We had a whistleblower come out and say AI's gonna kill everybody. Trump saying no, we don't wanna regulate it because then China will beat us in this. This it seems to be a really existential threat to all of us right now.
Chris Murphy 2:10
Yeah, it's it's a crisis, and it is pretty remarkable that the people who are running these companies are telling you that the crisis is coming in the next few years. I'm sure it's a jobs crisis. I I mean, AI is on the precipice of being able to at scale replace millions and millions of white-collar jobs. And so you're talking about um just a jobs apocalypse that could be coming in the next Five years, but then you have the security risk. Uh, Dario is saying, listen, these uh AI is reaching the capability so that it could essentially take over the internet and steal all your passwords or move money around. We know uh that the Department of Defense is um recklessly integrating AI into weapons systems.
Chris Murphy 2:56
That should scare us all. But the bigger issue here is really a spiritual issue. Issue. You know, what's going to happen to the human race when everything that makes us humans is outsourced to AI? I mean, already 60% of kids are relying on AI friendship bots for companionship and advice. I don't think we understand how big a problem this is already. And when you're no longer doing anything yourself, you're not even doing friendship. Or conversation or composition, you're just giving it all to robots. That is a path to sort of spiritual, political, cultural disintegration. Now, the irony here is that over the weekend, uh all of these AI leaders said, Well, yeah, this is really, really dangerous technology.
Chris Murphy 3:44
Well, at the same time, most of them, and Dario is the exception, most all of the AI leaders are begging. The Republican Congress to pass a law that would ban states from regulating AI, from protecting people from AI. And Trump is the biggest cheerleader of that piece of legislation. So, on one hand, the AI leaders are like, well, this is a really big deal. We might destroy the planet, but are also pushing their Republican friends in the White House and in Congress. to basically absolve them of any government interference in their attempts to destroy the planet.
Angie Sullivan 4:23
So you brought up something at the beginning of that before we get to really the the spiritual problem you talk about, the human problem, but I think this is a really important point.
