AI Targeting Dead Children in Iran vs. a Fun Dinner Topic
from Thomas Massie, Kevin O'Leary, & The American Psyop | The Tim Dillon Show #497 · #497
4 min
Tim contrasts the casual excitement wealthy people have discussing AI at dinner with the reality of AI-assisted targeting killing children in Iranian schools, arguing anyone who raises these concerns gets dismissed as a Luddite.
- Discussing AI's existential risks is fun dinner conversation for the wealthy, but not for those worried about privacy, earnings, or military AI targeting errors.
- AI is being used to target schools in Iran and kill children at their desks, making mistakes that burn civilians alive.
- Anyone expressing concerns about AI surveillance, privacy loss, or corporate control gets dismissed as a Luddite, crank, or technophobe.
- Tim warns that tech companies are coming for privacy, security, money, property, and freedom through digitization of everything.
- They will eventually control where you live and use predictive models of antisocial behavior to determine if you're a criminal.
- The "Well, China" argument justifies enslaving everyone with AI before China does it first.
- The chip competition and military security threat against China drives the AI arms race more than public benefit.
- Vaccine skeptics who worried about Bill Gates putting chips in people through vaccines will eagerly adopt Elon Musk's Neuralink for the privilege of saying the N-word.
- Younger people are right to boo tech billionaires at their events.
- A woman in New York City threw herself into a manhole to protest artificial intelligence, which Tim describes as a heroic act.
