At this "A.i." hearing at the NYC City Hall and so far it's all goofy talk about Skynet/Terminator "A.i." superintelligence scenarios and nothing about actual massive current harms of regular schmegular trash "A.i."

The Meta rep is doing a little ad for Muse while saying "super intelligence" instead of "artificial intelligence." Deeply unserious.

None of the "A.i." companies sent anyone to testify in person. They're all on video. Disrespectful and unserious.

Menin is getting little soundbite zingers where the companies are dodging the request to quantify catastrophic risk. But it feels like a song and dance to avoid real questions about real current harm.

Menin does a good thing by asking if the companies have liability insurance for catastrophic harm committed by their products. They did not answer. She said so I guess you're expecting the public to pay for it?

One of these company reps keeps talking about technical issues and laughing about it. I'm not amused! You clowns are supposedly deploying miracle tech! No technical issues allowed!
