Show Notes
The popular debate show, Middle Ground by Jubilee, invited me on to take the "anti-AI" side back in April 2024.
This highlight reel of the episode shows my experience of the discussion.
I'm a lifelong techno-optimist, and it's unnatural for me to represent an anti-tech position. It's just that our AI labs are admitting they're on the path to superintelligence they don't know how to control, which implies we're all about to die and the universe will be robbed of all value forever before our kids grow up. Other than that one little consideration, I'm normally pro-tech!
