Emad Mostaque on PostAGI: "Right now, not a single institution is on your side. The companies won't look out for you, and the governments won't either. Most of the AI debate just runs between those two camps: let the market rip and trust it works out, or regulate hard and slow it all down." Emad makes the case for a third option. An AI company for every state and every country, owned by the people who live there. Right now the AI that ends up teaching your kid, managing your health and advising your government is going to sit in the middle of everything but you own none of it. What Emad is proposing will enable you to have ownership. In this third episode of the PostAGI podcast, @sreeramkannan and I sit down with @EMostaque, founder of @ii_posts and @StabilityAI, and author of The Last Economy, to get into what happens to labor, ownership and power as AI scales.
