Before you jump at this headline you should listen to him speak. He was on Sam Harris’s podcast and is incredibly articulate around AI and risk. He is an expert in this field and a smart guy, who would you rather sitting in the room making up laws this guy or some other ignorant senator who can barely think their way out of high school.

Smart and articulate, paired with cunning and a conflict of interest is not a good thing. It leads to public policy that is even harder to correct.
