it looks exactly like the United States tried to install their own leader a preferred leader via the mechanism of having voting machines that maybe they had some back door to. I don't know that that's true. In other words there's no hard evidence of anything so I can't point to any evidence for it but why would the United States care so much about another country's voting machines so much so that…
← Previous segment →r the government is to check on the AI and tell you if it's safe they know what the company wants and they know maybe what the government would want. So suppose they know that the company would want them to not clamp down on that thing and then suppose they get their paycheck from the government and they open it up and they go huh well it's not bad but I'll bet you OpenAI would pay about three times this. Should I be ever interested in increasing my exposure to the AI field of which I'm already in but I'm working for the government which would be the very cheapest worst place you could ever work on AI?
Now suppose you have lunch with one of these regulators and you're from one of the AI companies. What do you have to say to them to get them to do what you want instead of actually regulating you? Well you don't say if you regulate me right I'll give you a job later and you'll make a lot of money. No don't need to. You just say so halfway through lunch say so what's your plans? You plan to stay with the government and just work on this AI regulation? Uh-huh. You know we're always looking for people so if at some point you get tired of the regulatory thing here's my card. You don't have to actually offer them a job. You just have to remind them that if they ever wanted to make twice as much money it would be real easy. They just got to go light on the regulations.
Now in the real world does stuff like that happen? Yes yes yes that's the real world. So in the beginning you might get some regulators who were kind of tough on the companies but I wouldn't even trust them because they would be government regulators so I'm not even sure that's a good thing. They wouldn't know what danger looked like and I don't think AI regulation will be any better than any other regulating. So it's not going to save the world but it might be a way for some people to make some money.
All right here's some science you might like just because it's good news. There's an ultrasound device at University of Utah was testing it. Apparently it makes your pain go away almost instantly. So it's just like miraculous. So they just use ultrasound at the right frequency and your pain just goes boop turns off. I saw Brian Reilly in a post just yesterday it wasn't about this but just separately he was saying the science already knows for sure that certain sound frequencies will cancel pain. And I read the post and you know I like to repost a lot of Brian Reilly's content because he's great especially with the AI stuff and I thought to myself ah I'm not sure I believe that. Like I was a little skeptical that scien

ce knows how to turn off pain with just three frequencies or something. But here it is. There's an actual study in which they're using frequencies to turn off pain. I don't know if it's the same thing that Brian was talking about but now I have two sources that are strongly indicative that it's worth doing some research on it. Here's another thing. How many of you suffer from regret? How many of…
