Kent Walker

On the first of September, The AI Responsibility Unit was moved out of DeepMind.

It now reports to Kent Walker, who's the president of Global Affairs, which is, functionally, the lobbying arm.

90 people whose job is to be able to say no to a launch moved out of the research organization and into the government affairs organization.

And researchers who wanted to stay in DeepMind had their transfer requests denied.

But I was blown.

Kent Walker was incredible.

Now, look, there's guys.

Do you realize how great they're? They have the easiest schedule in national football.

I think it's great that we've got the CEOs of the Amer- major American companies agreeing, so I'd like to see the American companies work on self-regulatory rules of the road.

Um, Kent Walker of Google actually proposed this FINRA for AI idea.

I see that as probably the best option in the United States.

Uh, you know, uh, I just don't see the U.S. government as competent enough to do detailed rules.

Well, people are talking about it, but this was a big, almost like, counter-statement from the Chiefs.

They come out, they hand it off to Kent Walker six times, seven times on the drive.

Patrick Mahomes completes one pass, and then they, you know, he runs it in at the end.

Like, they essentially did not do anything fancy.

They came out, ran down your door, they went a couple of four downs, they put big boys in.

There was nothing fancy there.

You know, there was straight grit, trenches, and Kent Walker essentially carried defenders into first down, over first down, over first down.

Did you hear what Chris Jones said in an interview, like podcast appearance that he had today?

All right, so let's, let's get into this.

So the teams are a little different, right? No Kent Walker for Seattle, which by the way, I think, uh, boy, like, uh, universally this is like, "Ah, no problem." Nobody's...

No, no one's breaking a sweat over Kenneth Walker being out.

I, I think it's, it's a, a biggish deal, so we'll see.
