The return of Real Time With Bill Maher featured a mix of humor and serious topics. Maher joked about Coldplay jumbotron moments and Sydney Sweeney's ad while addressing serious matters like President Trump's call for the prosecution of Black celebrities. The episode's main interview included technology ethicist Tristan Harris, who discussed the risks of AI uncontrollability. Harris described this as a widespread industry issue requiring attention beyond individual companies. Both Maher and Harris raised concerns about the rapid development of technology and its potential negative effects on society.
Maher emphasized the ongoing issue of AI uncontrollability, stating, "It's not about one company; it's about the nature of AI itself." He expressed concern over the speed at which this technology is being deployed.
The conversation highlighted that many people should have predicted AI issues, referencing, "This has been in every movie since I was a teenager!" This suggests a longstanding awareness of potential technology dangers.
