    This is the best thing Jane Wickline has done. I worried about whether she was on the bubble because she's so situational (I think that's a good thing), but clearly she's got staying power.

    I generally don't think SNL is very funny but I think it's quite socially healthy that they make fun of the political and economic elites. I wonder if we mapped out their targets if there would be any glaring omissions that would stand out.

    This video didn't make me laugh but I appreciate the flexing of the first amendment. They should continue with other AI-related figures.

    I for one am glad to see society moving from deference to skepticism of these valley elite

      It's all just a big scam to scare the public into buying robot insurance.

        In reality, it is a big scam to trick the public into thinking AI is dangerous and needs to be regulated. Then the government can limit it so only the preferred companies can continue to develop it.

        It's because both frontier companies are worried about plateauing and there's no barrier to competition. They both have upcoming IPOs, too.

        Does it apply when robo-advisors make bad investments?

        An insurance policy with a robot plan? Certainly, I’m too old!

        lol, that's good

        Lawfare Media recently, actually proposed a mutualize insurance system for Ai

        I don't think it such a bad idea that the Big Ai labs put money into a fund for their negligence, but that should not relieve them of criminal liabilities

        my consternation is that they likely have sufficient money to avoid consequences, like the sacks and the opioid epidemic, two-tier justice system at it's finest...

    How long until the President of the United States threatens to pull licenses for NBC over their anti-AI viewpoint?

      Copyright might be part of this; I haven’t thought that through. But this restriction is about whose turf they’re trying to push their product on. SNL has to be pushed through a different distributor in different regions.

    Men who didn't outgrow Ayn Rand used to be excusable oddities in the tech workplace. Somehow the tech industry let that get out of hand and metastasize into a malevolent authoritarian streak with apocalyptic overtones. The normies are correct in thinking there's nothing attractive about that.

    What will it take to bring the tech industry back to being perceived as improving the future instead of creating an oppressive surveillance state and bowing to a wanna be dictator?

      Nothing Ayn Rand about pushing for regulations.

        "Ayn Rand" unfortunately seems to have become shorthand on HN for "politics I disagree with". I wonder how long it's going to be until I see somebody here describes the CCP as "Randian".

      Sorry Dario is the exact opposite of Ayn Rand, he wants the government to manage his industry cause he thinks it will be good for him. More likely all his competitors are more libertarian like Ayn Rand writes about

      It's pretty difficult for me to imagine a turnaround there. Disenshittification would make shareholders irate.
