Victor Davis Hanson: The Left’s Psychodrama Cycle Designed to Win Them Elections  

Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” from Daily Signal senior contributor Victor Davis Hanson. Subscribe to Victor Davis Hanson’s own YouTube channel to watch past episodes.

Sami Winc: The Anthropic CEO came out, Dario Amodei, and said that there was going to be an AI apocalypse by the end of this decade, so 2030, that would make humans extinct, right? Lead to the extinction. But more than that, a Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic and said that this was going to be a problem. 

These AI companies are calling for global monitoring or at least governmental monitoring, and everybody’s suspicious of that, that they want to monopolize the industry. And then to the last two things, King Charles has come out with warning about AI—  

Victor Davis Hanson: He’s also come out that he loves mosques all over Britain too. 

Sami Winc: Yeah. And Frederick Merz, the Chancellor of Germany, in questioning said, “We have to do something about it, and don’t come back to me that this is some infringement of free speech.”  

Victor Davis Hanson: Okay, so they have to do something about it. Can we just have a little info? Of the 10 top AI corporations in the world, eight of them, eight are American.

I think number eight is French or Chinese, and number 10 is a European company. So let’s be clear. They’re talking about America, America. We want to stop the Americans. They’re so far ahead of everybody that we want to regulate it and make it a global project. There’s two or three issues here. 

It would be kind of like this, this Coxon guy or the head of ChatGPT AI, all this, the Google people, Claude, all of them that are doing this. Let’s just say “I’m Victor and I’m a scientist, and I’ve been kind of looking around. I read there’s a couple people like me, and I’m making this new chemical that’s more powerful than nuclear weapons, and maybe some others are too. 

And I think we need an international conference to stop it, because I’m gonna do something terrible.” And you wanna say, “Well, don’t do it. Don’t do it. Come out and tell us that you’re gonna voluntarily restrain yourself from making a lot of money by doing it.” So that was number one.  

Number two is it’s in the midterms. 

So we’ve known about AI all the way back to the Terminator movies, right? Why all of a sudden, 45 days before the election, “We’re gonna blow up the planet, and Trump and the AI—.” So it was fabricated. 

And then third, do they have a history of this? Yes. So a lot of people say, “Well, we went through the population bomb. Paul Ehrlich said we’re all gonna die, and Thomas Malthus was right.” Famous British aristocrat bet him a lot of money and said the following 10 items, oil, iron ore, copper, will be cheaper in 10 years than they are now, and he lost that bet, Ehrlich.  

And then we had Al Gore that took global warming and turned it in climate change. 

That was brilliant because he said, “We’re all gonna die, but some of us are gonna die because it’s too hot in the desert, and some of us are gonna die because it’s too much water and rain on the coast.” Of course, he didn’t believe that because he had… I don’t know. Somebody mentioned that he flew private and he had a huge house, and Barack Obama built a house right on the beach. 

He didn’t believe........
