In this highly anticipated sequel to our 1st AI conversation with Eliezer Yudkowsky, we bring you a thought-provoking discussion with Robin Hanson, a professor of economics at George Mason University and a research associate at the Future of Humanity Institute of Oxford University.
Eliezer painted a chilling and grim picture of a future where AI ultimately kills us all. Robin is here to provide a different perspective.

—— In this episode, we explore:
– Why Robin believes Eliezer is wrong and that we’re not all going to die from an AI takeover. But will we potentially become their pets instead? – The possibility of a civil war between multiple AIs and why it’s more likely than being dominated by a single superintelligent AI. – Robin’s concerns about the regulation of AI and why he believes it’s a greater threat than AI itself. – A fascinating analogy: why Robin thinks alien civilizations might spread like cancer? – Finally, we dive into the world of crypto and explore Robin’s views on this rapidly evolving technology.
Whether you’re an AI enthusiast, a crypto advocate, or just someone intrigued by the big-picture questions about humanity and its prospects, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
