Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings

Ok, my headline is a joke. (I hope Trump’s riff today at the UN on relabeling AI as Super Intelligence was, too.)

But only barely.

BREAKING: Sam Altman to brief UN Security Council Wednesday on AI

— Kalshi (@Kalshi) · on X

As Dominic Romano, founder of Drainpipe.io put it on X,

An individual who really doesn’t appear to know much about the underlying tech, and who is incompetently leading a company which is creating the perception of a security crisis while being run like an Extortion Racket briefing the UN Security Council is like if Al Capone would have given a brief on security to the FBI, should anything said actually be taken at face value or taken seriously?

I understand why the UN had to give a microphone to Trump today, but I don’t see why they chose to give a microphone to Altman.

NYA Thanks Gary Marcus!
