Doom Debates

Robert Wright Interrogates the Eliezer Yudkowsky AI Doom Position


Listen Later

Today I'm sharing my interview on Robert Wright's Nonzero Podcast where we unpack Eliezer Yudkowsky's AI doom arguments from his bestselling book, "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies."

Bob is an exceptionally thoughtful interviewer who asks sharp questions and pushes me to defend the Yudkowskian position, leading to a rich exploration of the AI doom perspective.

I highly recommend getting a premium subscription to his podcast:
