This guy deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. He is trying to save humanity from robots.
-
Ironically it's the YouTube persuasion machine that brought my attention to your work. Thank you for doing such a good job of articulating these ideas and expressing them to our elected representatives.
-
This was over 4 years ago and still nothing has been done and now we even have even more capable ai technologies. It's been a hell of a life folks, Godspeed!
-
I bow before this man. His work is true Service to humanity, what a great soul!
-
This guy is a natural leader representing humanity's future. Top man. Top perception. We as humanity need more respect to our fellow animal Kingdom. Top discussion.
-
That mic drop was so hard I think I've got permanent brain damage. I don't think I can ever forget the last words - with great power comes no responsibility. Brilliant. Strongest end to a video I've seen in years
-
This conversation with our leadership should happen yearly at the very minimum. Ideally more and longer.
-
Tristan Harris is not a national treasure -- is is a global treasure !!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
A great speaker. Tied in personal story telling and used great examples to people who wouldn't necessarily understand the tech. Super clear too. Exactly what's needed đź‘Ź
-
I wish there was a guy like this representing every problem we are facing as a race.
-
Eloquent, coherent, reasonable. The Senators were listening.
-
When I first used YouTube I was disturbed that I could not search for topics that I was interested in, I was limited by what YouTube wanted me to be interested in.
-
Thanks for sharing. Irony is, I found this via recommendation while scrolling.
-
Tristan and everyone at CfHT are national heroes trying to save us from the singularity.
-
Finally someone who eloquently breaks down the dangers of the power of a free economy system. Algorithms as mass data analyzers set up to keep consumers in the loop. How are we supposed to fight a machine built to hijack our neural reward system with information fighting for our attention around every corner? It’s becoming increasingly complex to stay engaged in modern society while maintaining a more grounded relation to our minds, bodies and nature.
-
Man, this guy is incredibly well spoken !
-
When you hear the last question an realize this testimony was from 2019 and it could have just been from yesterday. 🤯 Now we are at the advent of advanced and widely accessible AI and LLMs, and we have not yet learned from or fixed our past social media and societal failures.
-
Extraordinary. Public schools should be engaging with Humane Technology. Tristan is boss when it comes to logical thinking/critical thinking for ordinary people. He’s beautiful to listen to & to hear.
-
Great summary statement at the end! "With great power, came NO responsibility"!
-
This testimony was amazing! Please reccommend me more stuff like this, algoritm!
