Why I'm Happy the US Government BANNED Claude Fable — "AI in the AM" Livestream with Nathan Labenz
About this episode
Liron Shapira discusses the US government's ban on Claude Fable and its implications for AI regulation with guests Nathan Labenz and Prakash Narayanan.
The US government banned Claude Fable like a clown show. But I’m happy about it. Here’s my appearance on the AI in the AM livestream (recorded Tue, June 16) with Nathan Labenz and Prakash Narayanan, where I explain why this was good for society. The government’s action shows that we can actually pause AI, a precedent that matters way more than the boneheaded rationale behind Fable’s ban. We then get into a mini-AI doom debate where Prakash defends the AI optimist’s worldview. I push back on how much I expect superintelligence to reshape the planet.
