Can AI Lying Be Corraled?

Sam Altman on God, Elon Musk, the trajectory of AI and the mysterious death of his former employee.

Altman is one of the leading figures in the boom of AI. As the chief executive officer of OpenAI, he spearheaded the introduction of ChatGPT in 2022.

Here’s more from Tucker Carlson.

We’re Taking Back The Country

The [Deep State]/Mainstream Media have taken the bait and they are proceeding down the constitutional path. Trump and Pence are ready to make their move. The people are ready to take back their country, Jan 6th is a marker. Trump sends a message letting everyone know that the world is about to see a miracle. Everything is about to change and 2021 is going be glorious. More from the X22 Report.

We gotta discuss the omnibus bill, which includes felonizing streaming copywritten material, music, posting photos. It could kill free speech in America, as well as the slap in the face corona stimulus bill and so much more from RedPill78.

This Is A Problem

Mark Dice has it out with a radiologist who thinks he’s a big YouTube star — now that he has 50 or 100 followers — and is trying to get Dice’s videos censored or deplatformed. This doctor, Justin Shafer, is like so many Democrats. They want to mouth off, but they don’t want to allow anyone else to have the same right. They are essentially Fascists, but most certainly advocates of censorship.

Says Dice, “Dr. Justin Shafer, who appears to want to be the Sanjay Gupta of YouTube, needs to learn how copyright law works and the responsibilities of being a public figure in the age of social media.”

Who Owns Your Phone?

“Who owns your phone at the end of the day?” asks Derek Khanna, a visiting fellow at Yale Law and former staff member at the Republican Study Committee. Last fall, Khanna earned notoriety – and a pink slip – for a public memo urging GOP members of Congress to rethink their stance on copyright law.

More recently, in a column for The Atlantic, Khanna blasted a new ruling that criminalizes the unlocking of cellphones under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA). Unlocking the phone simply means that a person could use a phone designed for one carrier on another carrier, assuming they had switched his plan. In addition to civil penalties, breaking this law could land you in prison for up to five years and force you to pay a fine of up to $500,000.

“In 1998 a poorly written statute, the DMCA, was passed and it prohibited a wide swath of commonly used technology in the name of defending copyright,” Khanna explains. “If this is allowed to stand, then the answer is you don’t own your phone.” H/T Reason.TV
