And he spoke about OpenAI's move into adult entertainment/pornography. What could possibly go wrong?

My question would be: are they going to have AI children in their porn? I bet they're going to try!

Firstly, Luiza, know that I appreciate ALL that you keep track of, summarize, evaluate, simplify, and give counsel about.

And, by my listen, the moment/quote you cite/reference in your article above occurred at 23:31 minutes in, and honestly, listening to the entire episode felt necessary to gain a fuller sense of how Sam is thinking/believing/projecting--and how those interviewing him (who agree with him) also see the world at present and future. Not my vision.

Who recalls the film "Metropolis" from 1927, soon to be celebrating its 100 year anniversary?

"Metropolis is set in a futuristic urban dystopia and follows the attempts of Freder, the wealthy son of the city master, and Maria, a saintly figure to the workers, to overcome the vast gulf separating the classes in their city and bring the workers together with Joh Fredersen, the city master. The film's message is encompassed in the final inter-title: "The Mediator Between the Head and the Hands Must Be the Heart"."(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis_(1927_film))

Will there be a reshowing of it on the big screen for us to be reminded of what people feared in the 1920s with industrialization?

Full podcast episode for listening here and worth the time to hear the entirety of dialogue between these three wealthy and futuristically minded "humans" (pardon my sarcasm): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711?i=1000730789223
