It's long, but I recommend watching this video[0]. I believe the person being interviewed has one of the most lucid understanding of the potential futures regarding if AI is allowed to continue or not.

This show is trash are you going to recommend I get medical advice from Joe Rogan next?

Non domain expert sitting there making Pikachu face while deeply questionable alleged domain expert rambles on and on for hours is such a low form of information.

Like please stop watching this. It's the same trash format the guy just talks in a soft English accent so his mediocrity is less obvious. You can do better.

What happened to debates? What's up with soft ball interviews and people going on and on for hours unchallenged? What's the point of listening to someone not willing to subject themselves to cross examination?

    You said:

    > I haven't seen one convincing model of AI existential risk. Can anyone offer one?

    I apologize for answering. This is the only episode of this podcast I have ever watched, and I have watched it four times now. The person being interviewed knows what they're talking about. You would learn from them.

      But why do you think they know what they’re talking about? That’s the problem with that show. It platforms people with no guardrails to stop quacks.

      Debates can be better than CNN gotcha questions, you know that right?

      At the end of the day a debate is only as good as the interlocutors. I wouldn't advocate spectating two people screaming at each other either.

      It's just sad that I can't even point to an instructive example here. This is part of my frustration. I don't think I've seen a good contemporary debate in a long time.

      I think the reason covid became politicized is the same individualistic vs communitarian tension in all other american politics.

        Individualistic: vaccines don't help the young
  Communitarian: vaccinating everybody creates herd immunity that protects the community
  
  Individualistic: Masks don't protect the wearer 
  Communitarian: Masks reduce the virus the wearer breathes out reducing the harm to others

      On ivermectin Rogan was just wrong.

      On lab-leak, Rogan pushed it hard based only on circumstantial evidence while Fauci thought natural spillover was more likely but didn't rule out lab leak. I don't think we'll ever know for certain.
