Rishi opens up the discourse with a deadly throat punch. And Elon never quite recovers.
How long have you been beating your wife?
Or more accurately the PM opens with 'The Billionaire philanthropist and close confidant to Jeffrey Epstein on up to 40 (documented) meetings with Bill Gates, says.
'There's no one in our time, to do more to push the bounds of science and innovation, than you' says Rishi gesturing to Elon.
BOOM
Musk and I agree on quite a few things but just listen to how banal his contribution is to AI. Not one single creative suggestion. He tries to baffle our PM with bullshit and it's insulting. Every profession has its own language. Smart people make it simple to understand, not harder. He even runs dry on the use of jargon and changes the subject to Twitter's Community Notes and how we should sympathise with his son's learning difficulties. We are here to talk about AI not Twitter, Musk.
When I realised how vacuous Musk is on the implications of possibly the last technology to be invented by man I came up with a creative starter for managing AI.
AI is the toothpaste out of the tube. The only way to control it is to have better AI, managing commercially available AI, such as an AI council that ensures it always has the latest and best thinking. World Council AI could then manage any external AI threats. It's an opportunity for humanity to collaborate, not a threat.
How is that council to be kept neutral and protected while subject to transparency? That's a job for the politicians, and Rishi Sunak was right to invite the Chinese to the UK.
But I have a theory and it's a conspiracy that is for the good.
