From SB 243 to ChatGPT: Why being careful with AI is considered ‘uncool’

From SB 243 to ChatGPT: Why being careful with AI is considered ‘uncool’

In Silicon Valley, playing it safe is often frowned upon. As OpenAI loosens its restrictions and venture capitalists push back against companies like Anthropic for endorsing AI safety measures, it’s becoming more apparent who the tech world believes should steer the future of AI. 

In this Equity episode, Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Max Zeff talk about the increasingly blurred boundaries between innovation and accountability, as well as what unfolds when online pranks spill into the real world. 

Tune in to the episode for discussions on: 

  • A real-life DDoS incident that disrupted Waymo’s operations for a day near a cul-de-sac in San Francisco 
  • Goldman Sachs’ purchase of Industry Ventures for as much as $965 million, highlighting Wall Street’s increasing focus on the secondary venture market 
  • FleetWorks raising $17 million in Series A funding to bring AI advancements to the trucking industry 
  • How supporting AI safety has lost its appeal in Silicon Valley, from Anthropic’s criticism to California’s SB 243 targeting AI companion chatbots, and the rise of platforms like Character.AI 
  • Which emerging companies are leveraging an SEC loophole to pursue IPOs during the ongoing shutdown 

Equity is TechCrunch’s main podcast, produced by Theresa Loconsolo, with new episodes released every Wednesday and Friday.
