  • First and last time listener

If one gives Webb’s ideas a cursory glance you find ample evidence tying those figures and companies desperate to sell us all on AI are at the forefront of the very state surveillance apparatus currently cre... more

  • Absurd

    I don't hate this guy's takes, but I can't stand to listen to him talk about how good AI is when it's only being funded to create a surveillance state. I don't care what good we get with it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Point of No Return: Connor Leahy on Stopping AI Before It's Too Late
Q: How should regulation address precursors to superintelligence?
Monitor precursors like self-reproduction, agentic autonomy, and task horizons; require government oversight for credible experiments and prevent uncontrolled progress toward AGI.
The Point of No Return: Connor Leahy on Stopping AI Before It's Too Late
Q: What do you think is the point of no return in AI development?
The point is when AI becomes so powerful, self-improving, and autonomous that humans can no longer steer the outcome; at that moment, control is effectively lost.
The Point of No Return: Connor Leahy on Stopping AI Before It's Too Late
Q: Do you believe the correct path is a non-development agreement between the US and China?
Yes. It should apply specifically to superintelligence; not all AI, and it must be part of a broader framework with verifiable restraint and governance.
You Are Having a Biological Experience: Tom Bilyeu on God, DMT & the Matrix in Your Skull
Q: Do you believe in God?
Yes, there is a belief in something bigger, but he distinguishes between belief that elevates life and rigid doctrines; faith can be empowering when used to improve one's life but should be kept in mind as a personal framework rather than absolute truth.
