    The feeble old Senators don’t even understand the misrepresentation they’re being presented by the CEOs trying to dumb it down, spin it, and sell it as they half understand it themselves.

    Having data-scientists try to explain something to aged, entitled, soft Senators does sound hilarious though in an “I Am Groot” kind of way. Politicians are professional bullshitters, that is their vocation.

    Picture a dustbowl era snake oil salesman. Now picture a scientist trying to explain the basics of how a vacuum tube computer takes in data, performs operations on that data, and outputs transformed data. Good Luck with that.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Attendees included billionaires and modern-day industry titans such as Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia.

    “I hope that Schumer and others pivot to hear counterpoints from the many technical people who are good at explaining tech,” said Dr. Margaret Mitchell of AI platform Hugging Face, whose CEO attended the meeting.

    The multi-billionaire, who manages various tech ventures, including the social media platform X, framed the meeting as a “service to humanity,” suggesting its ramifications “may go down in history as very important to the future of civilization.”

    He urged Congress to “engage with AI to support innovation and safeguards,” highlighting the strategic advantage of having American companies set global standards.

    Last week, US Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Hawley proposed a bipartisan legislative framework that would require companies working on “high-risk” AI applications, such as GPT-4, to obtain a government license.

    This week, companies Adobe, IBM, and Nvidia announced they had joined President Joe Biden’s voluntary AI commitments, which mandate measures like watermarking AI-generated content to flag its artificial origins.

      That would be the most untechnical meeting ever…1100% coluding on how to profit more seeing as how they can literally not get in trouble for anything…
