US VP JD Vance on AI Company’s marketing strategy, some AI CEOs sell fear because fear makes their product look powerful.
And his view on AI driven job loss.
“I think the AI companies themselves, the CEOs, have a certain incentive to be super dystopian because it is like a form of viral marketing. If people are really scared of your product, that must mean that it really works. And if they are not scared of your product, maybe it actually does not work that well.
So, I think there is something weird and synergistic about the most pessimistic predictions about AI and some of the people who are making it.
With AI, I do not see mass unemployment as the most likely consequence. Again, some jobs will be different, and there will be some job disruption. When I look at AI, I think people will become more productive. Some people’s jobs will change, and some people will lose their jobs, but I just do not buy this idea. I have not seen any evidence in the data that AI is going to lead to mass unemployment.“
From “The Diary Of A CEO” YouTube channel, (link in comment)
Rohan Paul (@rohanpaul_ai): “Internally, Anthropic is very confident…that Dario has said that Anthropic might be the only private company in the world at some point. In this vision, there’s Anthropic, and then there are governments, and that’s it.“
