------ ✨ DEBRIEF | Unpacking the episode: https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/debrief-eliezer ------ ✨ COLLECTIBLES | Collect this episode: https://collectibles.bankless.com/mint

------ We wanted to do an episode on AI… and we went deep down the rabbit hole. As we went down, we discussed ChatGPT and the new generation of AI, digital superintelligence, the end of humanity, and if there’s anything we can do to survive.

This conversation with Eliezer Yudkowsky sent us into an existential crisis, with the primary claim that we are on the cusp of developing AI that will destroy humanity.

Be warned before diving into this episode, dear listener. Once you dive in, there’s no going back.
