Artificial general intelligence — an A.I. system that can beat humans at almost any cognitive task – is arriving in just a couple of years. That’s what people tell me — people who work in A.I. labs, researchers who follow their work, former White House officials. A lot of these people have been calling me over the last couple of months trying to convey the urgency. This is coming during President Trump’s term, they tell me. We’re not ready.
One of the people who reached out to me was Ben Buchanan, the top adviser on A.I. in the Biden White House. And I thought it would be interesting to have him on the show for a couple reasons: He’s not connected to an A.I. lab, and he was at the nerve center of policymaking on A.I. for years. So what does he see coming? What keeps him up at night? And what does he think the Trump administration needs to do to get ready for the A.G.I. – or something like A.G.I. - he believes is right on the horizon?

He doesn't think.Lumber isn't as renewable as he thinks.
Meanwhile the fucker is firing thousands of black people everyday...so much for those tangibles for the community huh

Which one are you, a cracker in disguise or a coon?If we played this game with Biden you'd drive yourself crazy. All presidents and politicians say shit to get elected
Which one are you, a cracker in the skies or a coon?
You claiming that Trump is good for your pockets, all you Trump voting motherfuckers I hate your fucking guts. Trump is going to try and fire 83, 000 veterans hospital employees 83 fucking thousand. And you voted for him because he's good for your pockets You self-serving fucking bastard
You know what, I make six figures, in theory voting Republican is good for me, but guess what I got a sister, a brother, numerous cousins and friends who makes significantly less. Beyond me being a veteran, I voted Democrat for them
I have a cousin that is super high on the spectrum and Republicans don't give a good goddamn because programs for people or kids on the spectrum fall under DEI
Sometimes it's about more than you
