Show Notes

Dr. Roman Yampolskiy is a computer scientist and AI safety researcher whose work explores the existential risks of artificial intelligence and the limits of human control. In this episode, we dive deep into whether superintelligence can be contained, why AI may already be on an unstoppable trajectory, and what that means for humanity’s future. Roman explains the difference between narrow AI, AGI, and superintelligence, and why building systems smarter than us may be a form of mutually assured destruction. We cover the ethics of open-source models, whether AI could ever be conscious, and how Bitcoin fits in...

Congrats to @npub1kdcxvj260… & co with establishing the Norwegian Bitcoin Policy Institute. Important initiative, the amount of FUD and factual error coming from Norwegian politicians are tremendous.

Great read by @theguyswann - and also a great way to get my #40HPW. It’s a book AND a bitcoin podcast, almost feels like cheating. He even reads at 1.25 speed sometimes, so you really get bang for your zaps.

First time I’ve heard of this Tatum guy. He needs to work more with his Scandinavian audience, maybe prioritize Oslo Freedom Forum before Vegas like BTC sessions Ben.

As most most Norwegians, I stand with the Coremunists.

Richard Greaser nailed this debate! I’m shocked hearing a so called intellectual denying the importance of smoking cigarettes, reading Ayn Rand and listening to #40HPW

We used to have based Viking kings in Norway, that I could have supported. The current Norwegian monarch family was imported from Denmark in 1905, and they’re pretty boring and a bit lame.

    Great podcast, thanks Danny. One aspect of AI risk I still don't understand: if AI becomes extremely intelligent in a variety of ways (AI-->AGI-->super intelligence), why does it follow that it would ever come up with its own goals that weren't given to it by humans? Why would an AI that's good at every board game (more general) be more likely to come up with its own goals than an AI that's just good at chess (more narrow)? Could be something I'm missing but I don't see how becoming more generalized makes AI more likely to have its own agency.

    This was a great episode, thanks @npub16le69k9hw… . Been reading «Kill Decision» by Daniel Suarez lately, and this conversation fits perfectly. Anyway, I choose to touch grass instead of worrying about the dystopian future.
