‘You can’t trust A.I.’: Former presidential candidate Andrew Yang warns of negative impact

Former presidential hopeful says companies must think before they enact A.I. they (and we) cannot trust. Andrew Yang, the tech-savvy 2020 presidential candidate, wants you to wait. It’s why he signed a letter asking for a pause in A.I. development for six months, alongside Tesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk, former Facebook executive Tristan Harris, author Yuval Noah Harari, and hundreds of others.But what would such a pause mean for companies besides OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google? We put the question to Yang in an interview this week. In this Q&A, Yang shared his views on the potential impact of A.I. on companies and society and how businesses and governments can and should react.Yang: It’s ChatGPT-4. Because of its widespread availability and accessibility, there’s a myriad of organizations tinkering with it and using it for all kinds of projects. It is likely to have job displacement and other unforeseen effects.Given that Yang has led a tech-enabled business for six years, disrupting the test preparation market, his views on how A.I.-enabled companies can outcompete those that aren’t are probably not far off the mark.

Andrew Yang says he’s had ‘conversations’ with No Labels - POLITICO

The former Democratic candidate railed against a potential Trump-Biden rematch in an interview in POLITICO's office. The centrist No Labels has been attacked by Democrats who fear the group will play spoiler in 2024 and end up electing Donald Trump. Yang stressed that he is an “anyone-but-Trump guy,” and that “I would not run for president, if I thought that my running would be counterproductive, or if it would increase the chances of someone like Donald Trump becoming president again.”While openly against Trump, Yang also was bearish on Biden’s chances. He laid out a detailed scenario in which third-party candidates could hurt the president’s campaign. He expects Cornel West, who is running on a Green Party ticket to attract two to three percent of voters in 2024 — a larger vote share than Jill Stein attracted in 2016.He anticipates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will likely jump to the Libertarian Party ticket out of frustration of not getting “a fair shake” from the Democrats in the primary. Yang also predicted Kennedy could pull a similar number of voters as West, and pointed out that presidential elections are decided by a few hundred thousand votes across a handful of swing states.Andrew Yang, the former Democratic presidential candidate and one-time New York City mayoral hopeful, has had talks with centrist third party organization No Labels about its third-party presidential bid.

Andrew Yang: I started a Third Party. Here's Why You Shouldn't Vote for One | Opinion - Newsweek

I started a third party. And I don't think you should vote for one in the presidential race this November. How can those two things be true? Let me explain. At the time, people were convinced they knew why I had started a third party: "Oh, Andrew Yang wants to run for President." Then and now, people were asking me to run just about every day. And of course, I want to make positive change with good policy. But I'm a MATH guy, and in 2021, I believed that if I were to run for president, I'd be more likely to do harm than good.Andrew Yang speaks to attendees ahead of Democratic challenger U.S. Rep.

Review: Yang’s Kitchen is the farm-to-table Chinese(ish) spot of our dreams

Already well-known for its brunch, this new-school SGV eatery now offers a tightly curated evening menu and an interesting wine program. This critically acclaimed SGV eatery known for its brunch now offers a unique, destination-worthy dinner service.In 2019, when the couple first opened their Alhambra restaurant, Yang’s Kitchen, as an all-day fast-casual concept, diners raved about the beef noodle soup and scallion pancakes made with locally sourced, high-quality ingredients. These labor-intensive dishes went away during the pandemic, as the couple figured out what worked, financially speaking, and what didn’t.While delicious (I visited just once), Yang’s Kitchen didn’t hold much appeal for me, personally, whenever I found myself in the San Gabriel Valley. Instead, visions of Chinese lobster stir-fried with green onions and roving carts of dim sum tend to win out whenever I’m visiting from the Westside during brunch hours.Now, however, is an entirely different story. Last November, the restaurant introduced dinner service, which runs Thursday through Sunday nights. Highly inventive yet tinged with nostalgia, Yang’s Kitchen has turned into the new-school Chinese evening destination I’ve been searching high and low for.

I Saw the Hollowness Inside Andrew Yang’s New Third Party - POLITICO

The Forward Party is betting that a movement defined by what it is against is far more important than what it stands for. Suddenly dozens of staffers from previous Republican break-off groups were working in tandem with supporters of Andrew Yang, the former Democratic presidential contender and Forward Party co-founder, to promulgate the idea that political beliefs no longer matter in a party, so long as everyone is committed to moving “Not Left.It often seemed that Forward expected to create change through the sheer force of Yang’s personality and a healthy dose of hope. The lack of core beliefs and ideas, it turned out, was precisely its selling point.A CNN segment less than a month after the merger inadvertently provided some perspective. We knew at the time that every interview would feature skepticism that Forward was nothing more than a Yang vanity project that he’d use to run for president in 2024.Things went as expected: Acosta pointedly told Yang, “If you want to be president, run again as a Democrat.” But instead of putting that idea to rest, Yang refused to say he was not running for president in 2024, even though it was in the talking points.

The Mooch, Andrew Yang, and crypto’s tipping point

Recent weeks suggest the Democratic Party's hard line against crypto will soon crack. Both men have walked in the highest corridors of U.S. political power. Yang was a major candidate in the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate primary, while Scaramucci served a brief but memorable stint in the White House as Donald Trump's communications director.Yang shared his quirky but compelling vision that entails using blockchain as part of a larger time-bank system that would compensate Americans for a wide variety of labor such as childcare that is currently unpaid—a system he says will become essential at a time when AI is poised to eliminate millions of jobs.At the day's crypto panel—which featured Coinbase, Grayscale, and Ripple—I was struck by how much the companies' executives came across as part of the finance industry rather than, as has been the case in years past, fringe challengers. The most remarkable moment when it came to crypto, however, was our dinner keynote featuring Andrew Yang and Anthony "the Mooch" Scaramucci.
