- Jason Calacanis highlighted the growing trend of AI and robotics replacing human jobs, citing Amazon's plans to automate a significant portion of its workforce, which could contribute to rising economic inequality and fuel socialist movements.
- Concerns were raised about potential biases in AI models, particularly those favoring certain demographics over others, and the need for better benchmarks and regulations to ensure fairness and objectivity in AI outputs.
