@GaryMarcus He's wrong. History teaches us that hundreds of millions of people have perished because the rich and powerful were evil. In a sane world with a sane economic system, no current billionaire would be be a billionaire. None of them deserves to be billionaire.

@TrueAIHound I am not a billionairre, and not endorsing him (on this issue; sometimes I disagree with him) because he is a billionaire. He just happens to be right that we could save lives.

So billionaires have a monopoly on morality and have the right to dictate to others what they can or cannot say? I don't think so. History teaches us that power corrupts.

PS. I'm glad they have no clue how to solve AGI. They lack the necessary mental discipline and character.

Am with @BillGates on this. I would rather not have more people die needlessly just to make a (simplistic) point about free speech.

The statement and the conversation it is part of constitute public discourse as they engage with significant societal issues such as the influence of billionaires, the ethics of AI, and free speech. The tone is critical and confrontational, focusing on the moral and ethical implications of power and wealth in society.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly cause harm but is confrontational and accusatory, which could be seen as indirectly harmful. [-1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech, but it does make broad generalizations about billionaires.
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion; it is more focused on criticism. [-1]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in criticism but does not do so constructively and includes personal attacks on billionaires. [-2]
  5. Principle 6:
    I will use my influence for the betterment of society.
    The statement uses influence to challenge societal norms about wealth and power, which can be seen as an attempt to better society. [+1]
  6. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement upholds free speech but does so in a manner that could be seen as lacking responsibility and integrity due to its confrontational tone.
