To him "harm" only means "monetary damage to Microsoft", ignores harm of artists and copyright, ignores harm of women with unconsented deepfake abuse and imagery, ignores datasets trained and used for CSAM and CP. Same as anyone promoting current AI.

Many people have been using this stuff to steal the work of creatives in multiple professions, steal the jobs of said creatives, scam people out of their money and information, generate deepfake pornography, and even generate pornography of minors. THERE ALREADY HAS BEEN HARM.

Not surprising, given the crypto and NFT crashes, thousands of lawsuits, entire banks collapsing. Tech corpos will do or say whatever they need to ride the "gold rush" phase of a tech as long as possible. Even if they know the destination is disastrous.

Thousands and thousands of jobs have been lost to AI. countless more freelancing opportunities have been lost to AI. Unwanted adult videos are being created, featuring faces of people who never agreed to it. We have deepfakes of events/speeches that never happened.

Nobody elected these people Hell, nobody even likes these people Our misstep in all this: allowing these people such unchecked carte blanche over the last 2+ decades, to the point where they truly believe they're the masters of human destiny & that we all simply defer to them.

It's not a little bit, it's tons. About 100 fake news an hour are being generated and posted, deepfake images spreading propaganda Also infringing on intellectual property and personal data. Is that little to you ?

Jensen to AI Leaders: “We have to be far more thoughtful” when communicating to the public Jensen Huang: “(AI) is not a biological being. It is not alien. It is not conscious. It is computer software.” “We say things like, ‘We don't understand it at all.’ It is not true. We understand a lot of things about this technology.” Chamath: “If you were in the seat in the boardroom of Anthropic over that whole scuttlebutt with the Department of War, what do you think you would've told Dario and that team to do, maybe, differently to try to change some of this outcome and some of this perception?” Jensen: “The first thing that I would say about Anthropic is, first of all, the technology is incredible. We are a large consumer of Anthropic technology.” “The desire to warn people about the capability of the technology is also really terrific.” “We just have to make sure that we understand that the world has a spectrum, and that warning is good, scaring is less good because this technology is too important to us.” “I think that it is fine to predict the future, but we need to be a little bit more circumspect. We need to have a little bit more humility, that, in fact, we can't completely predict the future.” “And to say things that are quite extreme, quite catastrophic, that there's no evidence of it happening, could be more damaging than people think.” “And of course we are technology leaders.” “There was a time when nobody listened to us, but now because technology is so important in the social fabric, such an important industry, so important to national security, our words do matter.” “And I think we have to be much more circumspect, we have to be more moderate, we have to be more balanced, we have to be far more thoughtful.”
