Episode #23 - “AI Acceleration Debate” For Humanity: An AI Safety Podcast 

e/acc: Suicide or Salvation? In episode #23, AI Risk-Realist John Sherman and Accelerationist Paul Leszczynski debate AI accelerationism, the existential risks and benefits of AI, questioning the AI safety movement and discussing the concept of AI as humanity's child. They talk about whether AI should align with human values and the potential consequences of alignment. Paul has some wild views, including that AI safety efforts could inadvertently lead to the very dangers they aim to prevent. The conversation touches on the philosophy of accelerationism and the influence of human conditioning on our understanding of AI. 

This podcast is not journalism. But it’s not opinion either. This show simply strings together the existing facts and underscores the unthinkable probable outcome, the end of all life on earth. 

For Humanity: An AI Safety Podcast, is the accessible AI Safety Podcast for all humans, no tech background required. Our show focuses solely on the threat of human extinction from AI.

Peabody Award-winning former journalist John Sherman explores the shocking worst-case scenario of artificial intelligence: human extinction. The makers of AI openly admit it their work could kill all humans, in as soon as 2 years. This podcast is solely about the threat of human extinction from AGI. We’ll meet the heroes and villains, explore the issues and ideas, and what you can do to help save humanity.
