@ProbablyPriest @sama @GaryMarcus OK. 25% tax on the profit of AI companies around the world to fund the UBI budget. I can see the palpable excitement among startup founders, VCs, shareholders, and executives compensated on performance.

In more seriousness, there are many challenges that must be considered about… https://t.co/0hPIhN6PsX

If you watched TV or opened a newspaper in the last 48h, you know that yesterday the US Senate Judiciary Subcommittee had a little chat with OpenAI’s CEO, @sama, @GaryMarcus, and a third person, on the oversight of artificial intelligence.
