Episode notes

The logic of starting one's own thing due to distrust in how others do it leads to an unsafety arms race.
Races driven by competition are the main cause of societal issues.
Companies should be held responsible for contributing to bad races.
There is a need to identify and address bad games rather than blaming individuals or companies.

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
