@LughSpear @ESYudkowsky Exactly. Let’s get neurodivergent interviewers for neurodivergent subjects with something to say. Let’s not burn it all on “Don’t you think that is a bit gloomy?” Or “Aren’t you being arrogant?” or “Ok. But back in the real world…” It’s so stupidly embarrassing for everyone.

AI Doom: I would like to see super smart people like @pmarca and @ESYudkowsky going at this AI issue with @sama and others giving color commentary. I personally don’t understand either @pmarca or @ESYudkowsky’s positions yet enough to know whether I agree or disagree with them.

I will say one thing. I don’t understand how anyone is *simply* optimistic, except as a coping/profit strategy. I see the possibility of optimism…but it is a long shot. This is going to destabilize the world’s current economic system on a crowded planet with a lot of crazy toys.

Q: If the cosmos beyond our solar system were found to be traversable, how would it change your life, your bucket list, your ideas about the threats to earth and your view of humanity in the Universe? All I ask is that you take a moment before answering. That’s it. Thanks.

@solshiner He’s a butcher and a bully. That is not what we are discussing.

We had no experience in having 4 planes simultaneously highjacked by suicidal jihadis. So it wasn’t worth worrying about. We hadn’t had a worldwide pandemic w/ lockdowns for ages so it wasn’t going to happen. We banished volatility in the Great Moderation so that wasn’t a risk.

@JaredBoone12 I’m sure there are voices at State and within the IC that are worried about nukes.

Putin has *never* used nukes (or other unconventional WMD weapons) in war before. In my estimation, that’s very important to remember when trying to figure out to whom we now should turn for our analyses. As per the above. #MSM

For those who still believe in peer review and scientific consensus, ask yourself why someone like the great particle theorist Steven Weinberg (1933-2021) understood Corona Virus GoF risk enough to issue such a strong statement in support of @EcoHealthNYC: coalitionforlifesciences.org/77-nobel-laure…
