  &quot;The smallest government you can have is determined by the largest corporation you&apos;re willing to tolerate.&quot;<br>This should be on a t-shirt

  “Millionaire on billionaire violence.” The one-liners in this interview are solid fucking gold.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dAIJRjb-Bw&amp;t=1614">26:54</a>: Mars scientist here, and I 100% agree. Life on Mars would suck for humans. It&apos;s absolutely not a Planet B for Earth.

  One of my favorite things that AI has made abundantly clear is how much bosses do not know or understand what their employees do. I always assumed this but having it so plainly displayed is humorous.

  Doctorow is like the Robin Williams of AI resistance. His brain works so fast. &nbsp;Thank the powers that be he is on the side of humanity.

  I&apos;ve been saying this forever. The current iteration of AI isn&apos;t going to kill us because it&apos;s too smart. It&apos;s going to kill us because we&apos;ve been convinced it&apos;s a lot smarter than it actually is.

  &quot;They&apos;re all passing around a $100B IOU and pretending they all have it in their bank account at the same time&quot; is a beautiful description of what&apos;s going on that I&apos;m going to steal

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dAIJRjb-Bw&amp;t=1969">32:49</a> “The threat to your job is leadership that doesn’t understand why AI is not a threat to your job” is the most repeated thing Ive said to anybody Ive ever talked to as a product designer in the AI space. Friends, family, skeptics, evangelists, customers, haters, EVERYONE. The greed of the wealthy is the single greatest threat to all of our futures. AI is just the car they picked to run us over with today.
