New @nytimes op-ed by @BernieSanders calls for sovereign wealth fund tied to the stock of frontier labs.

Whether or not you back this idea, his closing is a reminder that people support what they help build. Absent more meaningful mechanisms for people to share their views on AI and shape its development, the backlash will grow and “missed uses” will become the default (ie we will fail to realize the most beneficial uses of AI).

“It must be decided by workers, parents, teachers, artists, scientists, communities and the American people. It’s our future. We must decide it.”
