Viral Topic: "AI Will Save Us or Destroy Us? Extremes of the Debate": I think that the evidence for either of these claims is pretty bad because they're, in a lot of ways are two sides of the same coin. And the reason I say that, even though their claims sound as far apart as possible, is that they're both predicated on this idea that AI is going to inevitably and in pretty short order become incredibly powerful and superhuman in not just its abilities, but in its intelligence and. And just be more powerful and more intelligent and more capable than all of the rest of humanity and human civilization combined.
Viral Topic: Star Trek and Social Commentary: "Star Trek is very, very clearly a kind of morality play. Right? And as I talk about in the book, it's not particularly subtle and that can be a good thing."
Viral Origins of Transhumanism: "A lot of these ideas originally started out as religiously informed ideas, often from Christian movements."
Viral Topic – The Truth About Space Colonization: "It's very, very difficult to understand why anyone would think that space is the inevitable future of humanity when you actually look at how awful it is and how difficult it would be to leave the solar system and go somewhere else where there might be a better, more habitable planet than the ones that aren't Earth here."
Viral Topic: Criticizing Society While Benefiting From It: "Just because I have been able to benefit from certain things in society doesn't mean that, you know, therefore I cannot possibly criticize society."
Viral Topic: Climate Change Is Now a Political, Not Technological, Problem
Quote: "It makes me less concerned about us having the tools, the technological tools that we need to address it now that we have most of Them it's primarily a political and social problem rather than a technological one."
The Hidden Human Cost of AI Training: "But in order to do that, they had to hire people at very, very low wages, usually in the developing world to be exposed to some of the very, very worst of the worst of what the Internet can produce."
The Hidden Human Costs of AI Moderation: "And it's caused real psychological trauma for the people who've done this."
How Book Titles Evolve: "And not very far into that chapter, I realized, oh, you know what would make a good title for this book is More comma, Forever. And so originally that was the title."
Viral Topic: "AI Communities and Eugenics": "There are people in the effective altruist and rationalist communities, which is where a lot of this modern thinking about AI and AGI came from, who are very comfortable and advocates for a kind of racist pseudoscience called human biodiversity, which is something I went and talked with a fair number of geneticists and I think it's the longest endnote in the book, actually it's two or three pages long, where I talked with them and they said oh yeah, that's nonsense, that is not science."
