Episode notes

The Guardian asked five experts to give their take on AI existential risk. John Sutter: The extreme warnings have made their way in and now may be less effective than they were before. He says the idea that everyone would drop dead at the same second is so preposterous, it mitigates anything of value that might otherwise have been said. "I worry that that's a little bit telling about the state of the discourse with its over focus on the risk and under focus on actual solutions"
