Are We Past Peak iPhone? + Eliezer Yudkowsky on A.I. Doom
Manage episode 505844437 series 2792038
Apple’s yearly iPhone event took place this week, and it left us asking, Is Apple losing the juice? We break down all the new products the company announced and discuss where it goes from here. Then, Eliezer Yudkowsky, one of the most fascinating people in A.I., has a new book coming out: “If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies.” He joins us to make the case for why A.I. development should be shut down now, long before we reach superintelligence, and how he thinks that could happen.
Guests:
Eliezer Yudkowsky, founder of Machine Intelligence Research Institute and a co-author of “If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies”
Additional Reading:
- AI as Normal Technology, revisited
- Apple’s misunderstood crossbody iPhone strap might be the best I’ve seen
