im very concerned about Sam Altman’s firing from openai

hey everyone me Kevin here so open ai's

CEO Sam Alman was fired you've probably

already heard about this but here are my

thoughts I'm concerned I'm actually

quite concerned

about who's really running open AI

there's speculation that ah this is

where Warren Buffett's secret investment

went to there speculation that Microsoft

wants all this control and uh there's

speculation that this is more of uh you

know politicians or the state or or

whatever wanting to take control of our

information

and I hate to say

it Whoever has control of open

Ai and uh and and

ultimately realizes which I'm sure they

already do that people share their

deepest darkest Secrets fears

insecurities hopes dreams business plans

aspirations everything with the open AI

platform well some people do you know

other people are like I ain't giv the AI

my information but for all the other

people who

do somebody potentially

has the best quality

data you could ever ask for in the world

this is

not what TV shows you watch this isn't

what Legos you buy and what toy to

advertise to you this is

literally

engineering a

profile of everything that you are every

fear you have is a product or service

that could be sold every idea you have

is an idea somebody else can take every

thought you have can be

monetized in some way shape or form and

now you are no longer and it's crazy to

think about remember how Apple had the

ad transparency uh update where

basically oh uh you know we're going to

let users opt out of their ability to or

of company's abilities to monitor all of

our usage across apps or whatever that's

fine we have now replaced that with

something even more intense think about

this for a

moment what you look at on Facebook is

useful for a slice of your life it's

what you're interested in for like the

30 minutes as you're going to sleep on

average people SP you know 30 minutes is

on on various different social media

apps a day so let's just go with that

for the sake of argument here 30 minutes

a day uh 30 minute snapshot of what you

do on Facebook is hey you know I'm

looking for this new video game or I'm

looking for some new clothing you know

okay I'm going to get Hugo Boss ads okay

I'm going to get uh ads from you know

Hollister or whatever it might be in my

case it be Fred you know whatever okay

who cares like that's almost benign

marketing like oh I'm thinking about

going to Disney Disney so you get Disney

ads or whatever maybe you're not cuz

you're like Disney's welome K Universe

whatever

right that's nomenal compared to let's

get a complete profile of how somebody

works because if you can profile

someone's basically human DNA through

what they say to artificial intelligence

and then classify them into

buckets you could be almost completely

controlled imagine this we're going to

go through some scenarios here we're

going to think through these

together let's say you have the

entrepreneurial DNA to always start new

businesses well you are the perfect

candidate to be marketed to by let's say

specific institutions that want you to

start a business in whatever industry

the agenda is to push forward specific

example

open AI realizes here's a basket of

people here are 10 people who are very

entrepreneurial types and they have the

money to do it okay we know they have

the money we know they're

entrepreneurial let's sell you business

plans on how to start the next Green

renovation business that'll make

millions of dollars now you can promote

that agenda and very successfully Target

a higher pric product to somebody who

has the ability to afford it now let's

take an entrepreneur who doesn't have

the ability to afford it but has the

drive let's sell you a business plan

that's going to come packaged with a 20%

interest loan and that woke business

plan or whatever it might be to drive

you to do exactly what somebody wants

it's almost like the artificial

intelligence can then program every

member of society to do exactly what

everybody is most capable of doing let's

say you are uh uh somebody who Reg regly

uh types in to uh open AI you know

weight loss regiments uh exercise

regiments you were the perfect person to

sell brand new drugs to to help you lose

weight let's say your insecurities are

fertility let's get you ads on one of

the most expensive Industries ever

fertility because you want a child right

struggling no problem

there are $25,000 rounds of medication

for you need a payment plan no problem

we can help you it's scary now from the

capitalistic point of view it's kind of

like okay I mean hey look at all the

Sheep

Jack all the Sheep don't realize they

gave all their dat away oh no no I mean

I use open AI too so I I'm I'm one of

them man uh so it's it's it's scary now

it's not just that the CEO can just get

booted by the board I mean theoretically

that's the point right uh the board

represents voting shareholders voting

shareholders make decisions on who the

executives are at companies it is scary

that some board can basically say hey

yeah we're kicking you out because you

weren't honest with us or sincere with

us that's also weird it's very weird

that a corporation is slamming the

person they fired like that throwing

them under the bus and then that

person's blindsided other Top members

and engineers at open AI blindsided by

this this all comes after their their uh

you know Dev presentation where they're

talking about new products and features

there's this allegation that maybe uh

there were security vulnerabilities and

and maybe everything's normal maybe they

were security vulnerabilities and and

maybe Sam Albin has has has no regard at

all for security and maybe maybe

Microsoft is the great savior that is

going to protect all of our data

um I don't think so uh I and I hate to

be it's fine car I hate to be skeptical

but I will say o uh Microsoft is an

extremely profitable business we have to

remember that Microsoft brings 80 cents

out of every dollar to gross profit and

40 cents out of every dollar down to net

profit the every dollar they get they

keep 40 cents on the bottom line it is

an immensely profitable

business and they are profitable because

they know how to sell their products the

product that make us feel like we can be

better hamsters on the hamster wheel you

want to run that business more

efficiently you need Microsoft's Cloud

business you need Microsoft Excel you

need the latest and greatest version of

uh you know your your mail app or

whatever I'm

concerned not only though about the

ability to Market to people but I'm also

concerned about the ability to utilize

is somebody's complete profile of not

just their their wealth uh or their lack

of wealth their Ambitions their

personality their DNA the way they write

the way they type the way they think as

a marketing tool but I'm also concerned

about the ability

to sway people towards uh a desired

agenda or desired outcome uh it's

something that uh we you know

realistically we should have all been

having more discussions about over the

last 6 months but think about it it's if

you're going to GPT it's because you are

curious you need help you have a

question you have a curiosity you're

looking for a perspective well another

influential uh or or or deemed

trustworthy influential or whatever

perspective from from an AI oh it's

supposed to be unbiased it's supposed to

be neutral uh it's it's going to do the

right thing and just give me unbiased

information theoretically could man

ulate uh the exact trajectory of

whatever business idea you have whatever

loan you want to take whatever service

you want to use hey which yeah I mean

think about this you you're the

entrepreneurial type hey uh uh which

which company like I let's say I want to

build XYZ business I want to start a you

know Property Management business which

property management software stack

should I use oh you know what the most

popular and the best one is XYZ and

that's the one that now takes all of

your financial data and sends it exactly

where they want it to the exact banking

institution they wanted now you get

discounts for direct deposit with that

banking institution and processing your

payments through them it it almost all

it's like the final step in connecting

all of the dots that's create all the

infrastructure and then how about direct

everybody's desires and hopes and

Ambitions so that we can continue to be

the worker be

that

almost the the whole the whole

capitalistic Enterprise

is endeavoring to create I mean if if

you're

Microsoft and just theoretically you

could convince every single entrepreneur

to use your banking software your

banking service your whatever you win uh

and and it's now scary to think that

some somebody like uh you know well open

AI which was supposed to be a nonprofit

company it's kind of scary to think that

this nonprofit company is now probably

very clearly a for-profit Enterprise but

not just a for-profit Enterprise a

for-profit Enterprise

that can dictate our future

realities and it and then it makes you

wonder so do you just practically not oh

that's a cool color do you just

practically not use these softwares

anymore are you just not supposed to use

the look at that color the productivity

enhancement that you get from artificial

intelligence you just supposed to not

use it at all or do you just have to be

a little bit more aware and careful with

exactly what you say

reveal TBD I suppose I certainly will be

anyway thanks so much for watching we'll

see you in the next one goodbye bye
