yahoo news | A New AI Documentary Puts CEOs in the Hot Seat—but Goes Too Easy on Them

The new documentary The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist places some of the most powerful AI leaders—OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, and DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis—on camera, but it ultimately lets them off the hook. Director Daniel Roher, who previously won an Oscar for Navalny, initially wanted a feature centered on a conversation with Altman, but after months of being ignored he resorted to a chatbot that mimics Altman’s speech and mannerisms. When Altman finally appears, his answers are glib and non‑committal; when Roher asks why anyone should trust him to steer the rapid acceleration of AI, Altman replies, “You shouldn’t,” and the interview ends. The film is framed by Roher’s anxiety about the world his newborn son will inherit, and early interviews—particularly with Tristan Harris of the Center for Humane Technology—underscore a looming sense of panic about AI’s impact on education, employment and even basic survival.

Roher and co‑director Charlie Tyrell use the documentary to deliver a surprisingly clear crash course on AI, defining technical terms in plain language while visually anchoring the narrative with Roher’s own drawings, paintings, and whimsical stop‑motion sequences that hint at producer Daniel Kwan’s influence. Yet the film shies away from probing the grand claims of Silicon Valley optimists who promise AI will cure disease and reverse climate change. Interviews with industry figures such as Reid Hoffman reduce the conversation to vague acknowledgements that benefits will come with “unspecified harms,” and the documentary never deeply interrogates the pathway from today’s large language models to a hypothetical artificial general intelligence. Instead, it leans on a familiar playbook: presenting the technology as consequential while implying that only the interviewed CEOs can be trusted to manage it.

In its conclusion, the documentary urges ordinary citizens to pressure governments and corporations to steer AI toward a “safest, narrowest path toward prosperity for all,” pairing that call to action with footage of historic public projects like the Golden Gate Bridge. After a screening at Los Angeles’ Academy Museum, the filmmakers emphasized the film as a starting point for broader dialogue, yet their optimism feels clouded by a need for a hopeful ending for Roher’s growing family. By presenting the executives as mere passengers in a larger narrative and allowing them to shrug off responsibility for the systems they’ve built, the film risks normalizing a lack of accountability even as it calls viewers to demand more rigorous oversight and collective stewardship of AI’s future.

[I'm reposting something I posted earlier, having now blocked a troll who didn't contribute anything useful.]

Whew. I have finally gotten around to reading this essay by Dario Amodei, the CEO and co-founder of AI company Anthropic, which has developed the LLM Claude.

I think everyone should read this, whatever your thoughts are about AI. Even reading just the first part would be worthwhile, though I recommend all of it.

"The people building these systems—Sam Altman, #DarioAmodei, Elon Musk, Demis Hassabis—have made it clear that everybody from writers and actors to tax accountants and war strategists are on the chopping block. Of all the wizards of modern AI, Amodei, the theoretical physicist who founded Anthropic, maker of #Claude, is the most publicly anxious about the impact of his product on the world at large, seemingly spooked by his own predictions.

“In terms of pure intelligence,” he wrote in his 2024 chapbook Machines of Loving Grace, AI would soon be “smarter than a Nobel Prize winner across most relevant fields—biology, programming, math, engineering, writing, etc.”

When will that happen? In late 2024, he told podcaster Lex Fridman, “We’ll get there by 2026 or 2027.”"

"AI" isn't eliminating them. Employers are. These mfs hv been at war with #labor for decades. They think they've found a solution.

From @Zitron

"By giving warmongers and jingoists the cover to 'trust' this 'authoritative' service — whether or not that’s the case, they can simply point to the specious press — the ethical concern of whether or not an attack was ethical or not is now, whenever any western democracy needs it to be, something that can be handed off to Claude, and justified with the cold, logical framing of 'intelligence' and 'data.'

None of this would be possible without the consistent repetition of the falsehoods peddled by #OpenAI and #Anthropic . Without this endless puffery and overstatements about the 'power of AI,' we wouldn’t have armed conflicts dictated by what a chatbot can burp up from the files it’s fed. The deaths that follow will be a direct result of those who choose to continue to lie about what an LLM does."
