Ex-Google Insider | Why AI CEOs & Whistleblowers Are Both Warning You About AI

https://www.theteanetwork.co

Are we on the verge of an AI apocalypse, or is Silicon Valley using doomsday fears to distract us from the damage AI is already doing?

Tech insiders and Big Tech CEOs warn that superintelligence could wipe out humanity. Meanwhile, AI is already fuelling warfare and environmental destruction, with zero accountability. If the very people warning us about AI’s dangers also stand to profit from it, is existential doom a genuine warning or the ultimate marketing strategy?

This week on The Tea, we’re joined by pioneering AI researcher Dr Timnit Gebru, former co-lead of Google’s Ethical AI team. Timnit warned about the dangers of large language models years before the current AI boom. In this interview, she exposes the motives and the ideology behind Silicon Valley’s apocalyptic vision.

Also in the show:

⚡ AI existential risk: genuine threat or brilliant marketing?

⚡ The TESCREAL bundle: the ideology behind the AI cult

⚡ Hugging Face and rogue models: is Big Tech creating malware?

⚡ AGI and the myth of “magical intelligence in the sky”

⚡ AI regulation: why Big Tech’s lobbying power matters

⚡ The AI Resist List: building a people-centred AI

From the mythology of superintelligence to the movement for a different kind of AI, we explore who gets to shape this technology—and what it would take to put it back in people’s hands.
