Podcast appearances and mentions of shira ovide

For almost a century, people have been going to the movies to get freaked out by fictional depictions of artificial intelligence. Back in 1968, there was Hal 9000 in “2001: A Space Odyssey.” The 1980s gave us Skynet in “The Terminator.” And these days, movies about rogue bots are more popular than ever. Films like 2022's “M3GAN” and this summer’s “AfrAId” seem to be channeling our worst fears about the intelligent technology increasingly embedded in our daily lives. Marketplace's Meghan McCarty Carino spoke to Shira Ovide, a tech reporter and author of The Washington Post's “Tech Friend” newsletter, about why AI is such a compelling horror villain.

Sorry about that.] Sam Altman is not playing around. He wants to build new chip factories in the decidedly unsafe and unfriendly UAE. He wants to build up the world's supply of energy so we can run those chips. What does he say these projects will cost? Oh, up to seven trillion dollars. Not a typo. Even scaling back the misunderstandings, this is what ambition looks like. It is not what safety looks like. It is not what OpenAI's non-profit mission looks like. It is not what it looks like to have concerns about a hardware overhang, and use that as a reason why one must build AGI soon before someone else does.
