I can't believe it. We are entering the launch week for If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies - a new book by Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares. This is a hell of a book. I highly recommend it.
Everybody should pick it up. Honestly, if you haven't gone and bought that book by now, not gonna lie, I'm kind of disappointed. Should you really even be watching this channel? Are you not getting the message that it's critical for you to buy this book?
It's going to be on the New York Times bestseller list, and the only question is, what position will it be? That's going to depend on how many people like you take action. And by action, I mean, you know, pay $14.99, get it on Kindle. Really do your part. It's not that much.
Once you've done that, remember, tomorrow something very special is happening on my personal channel - the long awaited interview between me and Eliezer Yudkowsky! We've all been waiting so long for me to talk to Eliezer. It finally happened as part of his book tour.
Technically, it's not part of Doom Debates, it's just on my own channel because it's not branded as a Doom thing. It's just a Yudkowsky interview. So you're not gonna see me ask P(Doom). That's not gonna be part of it. We're just going to talk in terms of existential risk and looking at dangers. That's the preferred terminology here. There's a difference of opinion between him and me, and we gotta respect that.
So action item for you. Once you've bought that book, "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies," head over to the link in the show notes for this post or in the description for this post. There's going to be a link to a YouTube premiere. That YouTube premiere is the Eliezer Yudkowsky interview, which is happening 9:00 AM tomorrow, Monday, September 15th.
That's really not that long after you're listening to this post. We're talking hours away. You want to be subscribed to that premiere. You don't want to miss it because it's not going to be a post in the Doom Debates feed. It's going to be its own YouTube premiere on my personal channel.
So once again, check out those show notes. Check out the description to what you're watching right now. Click on that link and bookmark the premiere episode because I'm going to be there live in the live chat watching my own episode. Just like you're watching the episode, my producer Ori is going to be there live watching the episode. A bunch of your fellow Doom Debates fans are going to be in the live chat watching the episode.
This is a really special event, both for Eliezer Yudkowsky and MIRI, and for Doom Debates and for the human population. At least the human population can say that there was a New York Times bestseller calling out what's about to happen to all of us if we don't stop it. I think it's a very special week.
I hope you'll help it be as high profile as possible so that the algorithms will take notice and society will take notice and a grassroots movement will take notice and our politicians and other leaders will take notice.
All right. Signing off for now. I'll see you all in the YouTube premiere of the Eliezer Yudkowsky interview. Thanks for watching!
