WAID ROUNDUP: Openai government partnership

Zoë Schiffer: completely. Yes. It was really interesting to see this play in actual time. One of the things I heard from very close sources of all these billionaires in the field of technology is that at the opening, they did not actually know that they would be placed directly behind Trump for that reference image until the image is taken.

Jake Lahout: Yes, this is crazy.

Zoë Schiffer: There was a moment of panic where they were, oh, I don’t know. Do we want this to be … and then it was happening, and I think everyone was like, “no, we go. We have no choice.”

Jake Lahout: It is the date.

Zoë Schiffer: exactly.

Jake Lahout: She lives forever now.

Zoë Schiffer: But you can only imagine, I think there are these opportunities to be like, do we get ourselves? Isn’t it? I am sure they feel they have no choice because they eventually want their companies to win, but it is clear that they have called that there is almost no concession that they do not want to present with the Trump administration if that means that their company is at the forefront.

Jake Lahout: Yes, it is just a switch to these companies in the next three to five years and who will be in a leadership position. Also, they should be aware. This is a step in Trump’s play book. If you remember the governor of Michigan, Grechen and pass, when she was in the oval office and covered her face with a folder because she did not know that she would be there with the entire White House swimming pool, Trump and his people know this step well. They are mainly just a trap … they put a trap for you and you cannot leave at that point. Then you literally have a visual reminder of their association with you. This gives the Trump and Trump administration itself more influence on you in the medium and long term.

Zoë Schiffer: right. I mean, in the end it seems not really concerned. They may be criticized, but people may still use their tools. But the biggest thing they get, and it is a greater privilege they get from the Trump administration is that, for example, we heard that Trump is talking recently about fair use and they really say, publicly publicly at a press conference in front of the nation, such as, “Oh, you cannot currently expect the artificial intelligence companies to pay for every single content training for it,” at the actual time, in an attempt to re -identify the fair definition, which is What is measured. But we had the president to go out and say: “Really firmly with artificial intelligence companies in this matter, and not necessarily creative of content,” which is a great victory. I mean, this is an existential issue for them if the president feels the opposite. Thus I think they are ready to bear a lot because of this.

Jake Lahout: completely. Only a lot of money to achieve and Trump hates books too much.
