Benjamin Todd made some good points but I'm getting very fed up with this simplistic AI hype. I do work in the industry.

No serious mention of any realistic economic limits like demand, jobs, funding or capitalist motivations of companies to make profits. And Dyson spheres within 10-15 years!!!? Musk can't even get Starship to work so how are you... more
I love this podcast. I listened to episodes all the way back to 2023. So important to get the word out on these crucially important issues I enjoy every episode. Great guests and Gus Docker is a terrific host. Huge recommendation 👌❤️
I pray for the future of life.

This is most notable in the past two guests, as of 05/07/24. Previously, the discussions with guests had used anecdotal, evidence based arguments tha... more
