Why Altman Says "Accept Some Bad Things Happening" and What It Means for AI Safety | MOONSHOTS #301

I, I wanna share, I had an amazing 72 hours.

Uh, on Saturday night, I, I had a UAP salon at my home.

Uh-

How did that go?

It was amazing.

I had, uh, Professor Avi Loeb from Harvard there, who chairs the White House UAP Advisory Committee, uh, Professor Gary Nolan from Stanford, uh, Peter Staafish, the president of the Soul Foundation, and Ryan Graves, the, uh, Navy F-15 pilot who's been, you know, uh, testifying in the Congress.

And the data is extraordinary, right? I mean, if you don't think something is going on, I think you're not paying close attention.

Uh, and Alex, you and I have talked about bringing Avi and, and Gary on the podcast here and doing an episode on it.

I, I, I think we should.

I, I think to, to the extent there's a there there and there's been, at this point, voluminous sworn whistleblower testimony on the subject of this alleged 80-plus-year-old legacy program, the charade should just stop.

We, we should have, a- as alleged, we should have Avi and Ryan and some of the others on as guests and just do a deep dive.

It, it's, uh, it, it's getting pretty preposterous in, in my mind at this point.

We're so deep into the singularity with super intelligence all around us.

If there's going to be a cameo by non-human intelligence, they had really better make a, a cameo [laughs] sometime soon, otherwise-

[laughs]

... otherwise the galaxy gets it.

Yeah, I mean, I think there's a, I think-

Not just the moon, not just the moon

I, I [laughs] think there-

The whole galaxy

... now is gonna be the potential for AI to disclose it before the government does if it gets a hold of all the data and starts looking deep into it.

You know, we're getting ready to launch an XPRIZE in this.

We, one of the reasons for that salon was brainstorming an XPRIZE to help actually, you know, provide sufficient proof, and we have some really good ideas, so stay tuned for that one.

And then I, I've gotta add, yesterday I was at David Sinclair's lab at Harvard Medical School.

It was his 25th anniversary of his lab, and I was there to help celebrate with him.
