“Sanders voiced concerns about superintelligent AI, technology that surpasses human intelligence.
Several prominent figures, including AI pioneers Yoshua Bengio and [Geoffrey Hinton ](https://thehill.com/people/geoffrey-hinton/)and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, recently signed onto a statement calling for a ban on the development of superintelligence until there is “broad scientific consensus that it will be done safely and controllably.”

I think we should probably blanket ban Generative AI at least for image and video generation. Nothing good and I mean literally nothing good can come from it

The thing is, if the US doesn’t go down the AI path then some other country will. This is a technology that is already pervasive. So, choose your poison. I think Bernie says stuff people want to hear, but practically it’s alot more nuanced than signing petitions and etc.

How would this help in any way?
Average decel mindset, what a terrible idea.

Although Sanders mentioned Musk, for some reason only OpenAI should be split, even though Grok, Gemini, and Meta AI legally belong to the tech giants that integrated their respected GAI into their locomotive products (although now, perhaps, the question is what is a locomotive product – a social network, Google services, or the AI in them).

I’m frankly tired of Bernie Sanders trying to preserve physical labor jobs for me. I don’t want to do physical labor. I want robots to do it so I can do other things.
In this way he’s aligned with republicans: return the white man to the factory and farm!
We need to stop being dumb and figure out how to redistribute some of the resources these 4 billionaire choads took from the planet to make robot girlfriends for themselves. They did it by stealing all our IP anyway.

This “break it up” terminology for Open AI is weird. The US government is supposed to break up monopolies and trusts (at least those that abuse their status to hinder competition). Open AI produces basically one product. What does it even mean to break it up?
I agree the US govt should be breaking tech companies up – Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook. I can’t see how those rules would apply to Open AI.
They could always pass new laws to hinder Open AI, but a) I still don’t see what breaking them up would even mean and b) are you going to do the same to their many competitors? What about DeepSeek? The US can’t break up a Chinese company…

They should start with Google, Meta, Microsoft and Amazon.
