Ego is (mostly) the enemy
This has absolutely nothing to do with AI or his case in point.
Also, is ego the enemy or is some world leader who'd wage war and plummet millions into war and misery just for his own bloated ego (or just about any manager, on a smaller scale) the enemy?
Maybe it's not ego that's the problem, but something else, like reduced connections between the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, which isn't as catchy Smile | :)

risk minimization maximizes risk
If that's the case you're really bad at estimating risks Laugh | :laugh:
What you're really saying is you're minimizing the risk of A happening, but that will introduce us to risk B or C.
However, the risks of B and/or C happening are smaller than A happening or they're not as harmful as A.
Or maybe A is just not feasible anymore, like slow manual labor that can be replaced with fast automated systems, risk may increase, but the increase in output far outweighs the additional risk (but that's not really risk minimization).

I'm about 99% sure this guy is only saying these things to look interesting to stroke his ego, who is the enemy, as we know Big Grin | :-D
