Barry Diller trusts Sam Altman. But ‘trust is irrelevant’ as AGI nears, he says.
Barry Diller is a respected figure in the tech industry, and he recently took a stand in defense of Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, the company responsible for the revolutionary AI chatbot, ChatGPT.

He emphasized the need for guardrails to control and regulate AI technology's development, citing the unpredictability of AGI, as the new dangerous warning to humanity. Where a super-intelligent AI could possess the potential to dictate its programming to humans, the consequences are unfathomable.
Diller's plea for caution in the development of AGI and his staunch support for rectification programs and rules undoubtedly signal an
