It's not that the current use needs to stop. [...] You don't need to give up ChatGPT, you don't need to give up self driving cars.

AI Verified The provided Wave transcript page for “The "Super Bowl" of energy” is dated March 23, 2026, identifies the interviewee as Nate Soares (president of MIRI), and at transcript line 184 contains both clauses from the stored quote; the bracketed ellipsis just omits intervening text/filler and does not alter the meaning. The stored author, date, source URL, and content are therefore consistent. ([pod.wave.co](https://pod.wave.co/podcast/marketplace-morning-report-a338cdf0-7a39-4157-8591-4761fc3bf207/the-super-bowl-of-energy)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 16d ago
Disputed A March 23, 2026 transcript of the Marketplace Morning Report episode tied to this story attributes the passage to Nate Soares, but the source has the sequence in the opposite order: first the line about "the current use" not needing to stop, then the lines about not giving up ChatGPT, self-driving cars, and medical advances. Because the submitted quote rearranges the wording rather than simply omitting text with [...], it is not verbatim as presented.

AI Verified Verified via web search (Marketplace returned HTTP 403 on direct fetch). The Marketplace article (March 23, 2026) and corroborating sources confirm Nate Soares (MIRI president) said "You don't need to give up ChatGPT," that you can keep self-driving cars and medical advancements, and "It's not that the current use needs to stop. It's just that the race to make smarter and smarter machines that nobody understands need to stop." Author attribution and year (2026) are correct, and source_url is the primary source. The "for" vote on "Ban superintelligence development until safety consensus is reached" aligns strongly with Soares's explicit call to shut down the race to build superintelligence that no one understands. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
