Good Wednesday morning! “Full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.” “AI will save the world.” “We need to shut it all down.” All of these sentiments feature heavily in Nick Bilton’s [meaty piece]( on the state and fate of artificial intelligence, which has become a big source of hand-wringing since the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. “We worry about this every day, that’s why we’re here,” the company’s chief technology officer tells Bilton. “But I also think it is futile to think that the way to a good outcome, so to speak, is to slow down or stop innovation.” Zooming out to politics, Caleb Ecarma [catches]( Kevin McCarthy bending the knee to his far-right flank by opening an evidence-free impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden.
