Is AI "Alien Intelligence?" Emerson Spartz on Mental Models for AI

Über diese Folge

Emerson Spartz has been building internet and media companies since starting MuggleNet, the world's largest Harry Potter fan site, when he was just 12 years old. He founded digital media company Dose which created some of the world's largest viral content sites.   For the past few years, Emerson has been focused on AI, with a particular interest in AI safety, AI alignment and extinction risk. Despite being such a techno-optimist by nature that he's been yelled at for being a techno-optimist in books, he has come to have real concerns about the speed and way that AI is developing.   In this sprawling conversation, Emerson provides a set of mental models he uses to try and understand AI broadly.   Recommended resources: https://aisafety.info/ Robert Miles YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/robertmilesai The A.I.
