Show Notes

Dimitri and Khalid speak with academic and Substack writer Vincent Lê about the current fevered dystopian landscape of AI, including: the Silicon Valley philosophy of "Rationalism", the Zizian cult, the qualitative difference between LLMs and self-training AIs like AlphaGo and DeepMind, AlphaGo mastering the ancient Chinese game Go, Scott Boorman's 1969 book "Protracted Game: A Wei-ch'i Interpretation of Maoist Revolutionary Strategy", Capital as the first true AGI system, the Bolshevik Revolution as the greatest attempt to build a friendly alternative AGI, and more...part one of two.
