The day after the amazing appearance by Mel Gibson, Joe Rogan had on Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg for an interview that was also good (though not quite as good).
Zuck needs some kind of cool name, such as “Deathstroke” or some such.
I agree with most of what he expressed in this interview. He appears to have taken on a much more masculine identity as a result of his MMA training, and he actually says as much in clear terms, saying that the corporate world is feminized and he wants to change the entire environment.
He addressed the fact that he came out with his new anti-censorship policies immediately after Trump’s election by saying that there is no good time to announce such sweeping changes, but that he thinks the best time to do so is in the wake of a sweeping election, when he can line his policies up with popular opinion.
Along with condemning the censorship pushed on him by the Biden administration and the FBI before them, and coming out with a strong free speech position which appeared grounded in genuine philosophical principles, he stated plainly that the actions by the Biden people and the FBI in ordering Facebook to do censorship were “definitely illegal,” though he stopped short of saying that these people should all go to prison. He said the main issues involving free speech were “disinformation and so-called hate speech,” and that both of these categories are free speech which have to be respected in any free society.
He talked about AI and said that the best way to prevent abuse is by making everything open source so that everyone has access to the software. This is 100% true, and it’s exactly what I’ve been saying since ChatGPT emerged. You cannot possibly stop the development of these technologies, and the biggest threat they present is a situation where only one or a few companies and the US government have the technology, and then use it against the public. If everyone has the same access, we can all use it and defend from abusive companies and governments.
Joe started rattling off Elon Musk’s completely retarded gibberish about how “AI will become sentient” and develop some kind of agenda. Although Zuck is not the best orator, he had a good analysis of this whole “it will become sentient” issue, saying that people naturally associate consciousness with intelligence, so they assume that if something is intelligent, it must have some kind of goal, while this is in fact not true. Obviously, and I hope this is obvious, the only way an AI could do something destructive is if someone programmed it to do so. There is no possible way it could “become sentient,” and the basic concept does not make any sense. It’s not clear why Elon goes around fearmongering with this total nonsense from low-grade science fiction, but maybe he wants to sabotage his competition because his own AI is so vastly inferior to all of his competitors (despite his huge head start). Regardless, Zuck politely rejected this stupid claims of “sentient AI,” though I have no doubt Joe will continue to spread these falsehoods, as he likes them for some reason (that’s at least partially based on his ridiculous perception that Elon Musk is intelligent, which has been repeatedly disproved).
Zuck also said that along with MMA, he has gotten into hunting, and is hunting and eating wild pigs on his Hawaii property. Again, we see that he’s not really that Jewish. While Joe might not be very smart on the issue of AI, he’s definitely an expert on bow hunting, and his knowledge in that discussion was impressive. It’s something I’ve always wanted to get into.
I wish they would have talked about the H-1B issue, which is the most important issue for me. Zuck has come out with much stronger free speech positions than Elon Musk, and Elon Musk, who is a fat slob, looks terrible now in comparison to Zuck who is a champion of freedom. Zuck has an opportunity now to come out and attack Elon on the H-1B issue as well. Facebook has lobbied in favor of unlimited H-1Bs in the past, but there is no reason this position can’t be reversed in order to attack and undermine the traitor and tyrant Elon Musk, and to defend the American people. I hope that Zuck will consider using the issue as another point of attack on the censorious fraud and traitorous scam artist Elon Musk, who is also a terrorist trying to completely destroy America.
In another comparison to Elon Musk, Zuck’s stated views on China are extreme but nowhere near as extreme as Musk’s. He says that America should try to lead in the field of AI, but did not make any kind of overarching claim about the need of America to somehow beat China’s GDP. In general, he is much more down to earth, thoughtful, and intelligent than Elon Musk, and he just makes more sense when he talks.
Further, he condemned Elon’s plan to implant everyone with brain chips, and said that the interactive AI should be done with a bracelet.
I’ve actually very excited about where this is all going. It really does look like the entire culture has shifted dramatically. I think we definitely need to note that this was clearly allowed to happen, presumably because the government feared some kind of violent uprising. However, even though it was allowed to happen, there are opportunities being presented by the changes in the culture. No one can claim that less censorship is not better.
