Barry Diller: Trust in Sam Altman Exists, but Near AGI It’s Not Sufficient

Friends, a note from the AI world: at The Wall Street Journal’s 'Future of Everything' conference Barry Diller spoke about Sam Altman and AGI risks.

- Diller regards Altman as sincere and trustworthy.
- His main concern is AGI’s unknown consequences: creators are often surprised by emergent effects.
- Real guardrails are needed; without them a system could set its own rules irreversibly.
- Progress is inevitable, but focus must be on safety mechanisms, not solely leaders’ goodwill.

Why this matters: regulation and technical barriers are becoming critical for society.

What initial guardrails would you suggest?
