There's a long, and unfortunate, pattern in this administration of Joe Biden nominating individuals to serve on the bench who have a repeated pattern of showing excessive leniency to criminals.

This is an absolutely critical foundational right.

The workers on the project were paid, on average, between $1.46 an hour and $3.74 an hour.

what's wrong with having a technology that actually employs people in the United States of America and pays them well?

I'm interested in protecting the rights of American workers and American families and American consumers against these massive companies that threaten to become a total law unto themselves.

Should we also require monetary compensation if AI companies want to use individual data in their model in some way?

I think your point, Mr. Amodei, about securing our supply chains is absolutely critical.

What's sad about that scenario is, that would be the best-case scenario.

I think if we don't do that with China soon--frankly, we should've done it a long time ago--if we don't do it very, very quickly, I think we're in real trouble.

The DOJ's own guidelines say that you can't offer this deal. So it's just another example, I think of the sort of sweetheart deal that the Biden seem to get, but it is also just the tip of the iceberg.

As part of securing our supply chain here in this area, should we consider limitations, if not outright prohibitions, on components that are manufactured in China?

I think the path that things are going, in terms of the scaling of open source models, I think it's going down a very dangerous path.

I want to thank Senator Blumenthal for being willing to do something about this problem.

That seems like an old, old story that I frankly don't want to see replicated again.

The workers on the project were paid, on average, between $1.46 an hour and $3.74 an hour.

I think we should think of that in a little bit of a different category, and their obligations in a little bit of a different category.

As AI develops, we've got to make sure that we have safeguards in place that will ensure this new technology is actually good for the American people.

Well, you say that you tell the model not to produce misinformation. I'm not sure exactly what that means, but do you tell it not to help massive companies make a profit?

I am totally in agreement with Senator Hawley in focusing on keeping it in America, made in America.

It seems to me that your technology melded with theirs could make them an enormous sum of money. That would be great for them. Would it be so good for the American consumer?

Well, you say that you tell the model not to produce misinformation. I'm not sure exactly what that means, but do you tell it not to help massive companies make a profit?

I think, to focus people's minds on the biorisks, I would really target 2025, 2026, maybe even some chance of 2024.

It's been a privilege to get to work with him. These have been incredibly substantive hearings.

Don't you think that that would be frightening?
