I'm excited to share our new film Moloch, about how we all get disempowered without AI going rogue. It’s the 4th (and IMHO least discussed) dystopian AI scenario: 1) Rogue AI 2) Obedient AI misused 3) Obedient AI causes 1984 4) Race-to-replace by obedient AI Synopsis: As AI triggers worldwide job loss, an engineer who built the tech struggles with dark forces, her family & her CEO over pulling the plug. Starring Fiona Hampton, Parker Sawyers, David Buttle & Buddy Wignall-Ho. Written & directed by Tom Cozens. It's an Owl In Space production in collaboration with FLI. We worked really hard on this and hope you find it thought-provoking!

I'm excited to share our new film Delisted, about how we end up in 1984 without AI going rogue. It’s the 3rd dystopian AI scenario that we need to avoid to enjoy AI's great upside: 1) Rogue AI 2) Obedient AI misused 3) Obedient AI causes 1984 4) Race-to-replace by obedient AI Synopsis: When AI-driven power concentration sparks protests, the government's response isn't force - it's erasure. Dissenters are Delisted: wiped from every financial, digital and legal system. Starring Katie Parker, Jamie Bamber, Alex Bhat, Rosalind Halstead, Charlie Hiscock, and Ruby Bridle. Written & directed by Michael Patrick Clarkson Featuring "Bleed Us Anew," an original song written and performed by Ruby Bridle A Space Digital production, in collaboration with FLI

I feel optimistic after our epic Pro-Human Assembly this week brought together Bannon & Bernie, faith & labor leaders, and the strongest-ever bipartisan opposition to the AI race-to-replace. The tide us turning! Here's my opening framing; links in replies. #ProHuman

It was fascinating to discuss superintelligence with Yuval Noah Harari:

The AI company CharacterAI (💙,🧡) is IMHO doing evil, and I don't say this lightly. I've never been this upset during an interview before – it came right after Megan Garcia described how CharacterAI's bot encouraged her late son to commit suicide. If you're a corporate AI researcher, investor or lobbyist, please show moral leadership and ask yourself this: are you're helping with the solution or are you part of the problem?

95% of Americans don't want a race to AGI and superintelligence, but instead want better AI tools to cure diseases and solve problems. Here at Web Summit, I discuss how this controllable "95% AI" can gives us almost all the AI upside, from provably bug-free code to unbiased news:

Happy birthday, bioweapon ban! And thanks Matthew Meselson for making it happen, because of which we associate biology with saving lives rather than anthrax and bioterrorism. Let's celebrate this by similarly steering physics & AI away from awful uses and toward inspiring ones! 🥳
