The world is currently moving towards both of those and actually as the more frequently the continual catastrophes happen, the more it's going to drive us towards the direction of the dystopia. We are currently living in the downward spiral. Technology decoheres, digs outrage, long-lifies culture. That incoherent culture can't support any institutional responses to anything. The upward spiral is what we need to get to. In the third way, what Taiwan is doing is actually proving that you can use technology in a way that gets you the upward spiral.
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
