Menin asks the AI execs to "raise your hand if your company has insurance for catastrophic risks." No one does. "Okay, I'm going to take that as a no... So then the public, I assume, will be asked to absorb the costs." Each of the execs then scramble to clarify that they actually don't know.

If you’re somebody who is looking at the AI news and feeling anxious/confused about what to think then week’s pod is, IMO, extremely helpful. Its an argument for treating this stuff as a somewhat normal and solvable problem (while not letting companies off the hook) youtu.be/2OE6TicW2f8?...

The grilling of the AI execs has begun. Speaker Menin asks OpenAI to quantify the worst risks of AI. Exec: "I don't know." Menin: "I'm sorry, but to say you don't know and it doesn't matter is flippant at best... I honestly am incredulous at that answer." hellgatenyc.com/ai-execs-fac...

Turns out Elon Musk's DOGE discriminated against the Bicentennial celebration. This is surely cause to denaturalize and deport him, isn't it? legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...
DOGE flagged as DEI a grant to the Boston Symphony Orchestra that
sought to digitize at-risk audio reels representing radio broadcasts of live
Boston Pops concerts between 1958 and 1979 – a period covering the last
20 years of the great and beloved Arthur Fiedler’s tenure as the Pops
conductor. According to DOGE, “Preserving and making accessible
historical recordings promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion by sharing
valuable cultural heritage.” Dkt. No. 248-11, Ex. 11, US-000062485 (tab
“Sheet3”), at D434. This surely represents an unwarranted expansion of
any definition of DEI, since ChatGPT utterly failed to explain why
preserving Boston Pops broadcasts from the Fiedler era had anything to do
with advancing the interests of any historically disfavored group, though
many a professional musician might well feel marginalized. In fact, the
“valuable cultural heritage” that would be shared by preserving these broadcasts includes innumerable performances of John Philip Sousa’s
patriotic marches, played regularly to enthusiastic audiences.4F
55 This project would also have ensured the preservation of the live broadcast of the Pops’ historic Bicentennial Concert,
broadcast live from Boston’s Esplanade on the evening of July 4, 1976 – which ended with the bells of all of Boston’s
historic churches ringing to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, while
fireworks exploded and Fiedler conducted the climactic ending of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. It was a terrific and
patriotic musical moment.
