Thank you for asking about the weaponization. I was just thinking about the concerns of it being manipulated behind the scenes.

As someone in a going on 23 year tech career that I'm currently working on shifting to AI...Thank you! The company I work for is amazing and my manager fully supports his employees going further and I'm able to take courses during the day. It is definitely amazing technology and I'm very grateful to anyone who is bringing more information about it to people.

If you get to speak to him again, ask how their DEI blocking is going for LinkedIn Learning……

I heard him interviewed on Armchair Expert He made it all sound positive. But my question is the energy all this takes.

What about the concerns of AI and intellectual property and art/literature? I have no problem using ai as an efficiency tool. What I don’t like is theft of intellectual property run through a computer and spit out for someone else to pass off as original work.

AI future could include denying your application before a human person even gets to glance at it. The weight of its impact should be more monitored than it is. It feels like it gets treated like an app or something that can't grow on it own. When we know the very real implications of that fact and how it can be hidden from its users (AI's can fake their intelligence). Just my two cents.

Also everyone writing their applications with AI to be examined by another AI

Well done! Many years ago, Reid was the product manager when I was the director of software development on a project at Fujitsu. We put the first virtual world on the internet. (Reid for some reason doesn’t list this cool accomplishment on his resume.)

Did you ask him why he thought he could tell Kamala to get rid of Lina Khan?

Thanks for this. I super appreciate Reid Hoffman's nuanced, thoughtful and forward-thinking perspectives. He doesn't seem to get as much coverage as other louder founders who feed the algos with their chaos. But interviews like this are good, settling. Helps to remember that the loudest aren't the only voices out there. Also, 100% with him on the vision of AI helping us elevate our agency in our humanity, I see that already. Of course it can be used for evil ends, but the potential massive good in that idea, I don't think we really see it yet.
