I always appreciate the opportunity to discuss @LawZero_ and our approach to honest, reliable AI. Working on the Scientist AI with my brilliant colleagues at LawZero has made me very confident that we can (and must!) develop technical solutions to address many of the risks of AI.

There are few people more responsible for modern AI than @Yoshua_Bengio. He’s written many of its foundational papers—and more recently has become one of the industry’s most articulate critics.

We’ve just released my podcast with him, where we discussed some of the biggest questions the technology poses to daily life and our institutions. The whole conversation is worth watching, but here are some key points. 1/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNmAM6BZLVE

@Yoshua_Bengio @nxthompson Since our rendezvous at the beginning of ‘23 I have had intense surveillance. They are using ai to hack me, my friends and family. I have attempted to contacted many mp’s Canadian business leaders et al with no luck. The frontier ai labs and government copy everything I say.
