Episode notes

I think the things that we're worried about are the ways that the deployment of AI can undermine the container of society working at all. And so Google, for example, had been holding back many advanced AI capabilities in the lab, not deploying them because they thought they were not safe. That's just a multipolar trap, a classic race to the cliff.

There’s really no one better than veteran tech journalist Kara Swisher at challenging people to articulate their thinking. Tristan Harrris recently sat down with her for a wide ranging interview on AI risk. She even pressed Tristan on whether he is a doomsday prepper. It was so great, we wanted to share it with you here.

The interview was originally on Kara’s podcast ON with Kara Swisher. If you like it and want to hear more of Kara’s interviews with folks like Sam Altman, Reid Hoffman and others, you can find more episodes of ON with Kara Swisher here: https://link.chtbl.com/_XTWwg3k
