#184 – Zvi Mowshowitz on sleeping on sleeper agents, and the biggest AI updates since ChatGPT 3:31:22

6d ago3:31:22

3:31:22

Many of you will have heard of Zvi Mowshowitz as a superhuman information-absorbing-and-processing machine — which he definitely is. As the author of the Substack Don’t Worry About the Vase, Zvi has spent as much time as literally anyone in the world over the last two years tracking in detail how the explosion of AI has been playing out — and he ha…

#183 – Spencer Greenberg on causation without correlation, money and happiness, lightgassing, hype vs value, and more 2:36:38

1M ago2:36:38

2:36:38

"When a friend comes to me with a decision, and they want my thoughts on it, very rarely am I trying to give them a really specific answer, like, 'I solved your problem.' What I’m trying to do often is give them other ways of thinking about what they’re doing, or giving different framings. A classic example of this would be someone who’s been worki…

#182 – Bob Fischer on comparing the welfare of humans, chickens, pigs, octopuses, bees, and more 2:21:31

1M ago2:21:31

2:21:31

"[One] thing is just to spend time thinking about the kinds of things animals can do and what their lives are like. Just how hard a chicken will work to get to a nest box before she lays an egg, the amount of labour she’s willing to go through to do that, to think about how important that is to her. And to realise that we can quantify that, and see…

#181 – Laura Deming on the science that could keep us healthy in our 80s and beyond 1:37:21

2M ago1:37:21

1:37:21

"The question I care about is: What do I want to do? Like, when I'm 80, how strong do I want to be? OK, and then if I want to be that strong, how well do my muscles have to work? OK, and then if that's true, what would they have to look like at the cellular level for that to be true? Then what do we have to do to make that happen? In my head, it's …

#180 – Hugo Mercier on why gullibility and misinformation are overrated 2:36:55

2M ago2:36:55

2:36:55

The World Economic Forum’s global risks survey of 1,400 experts, policymakers, and industry leaders ranked misinformation and disinformation as the number one global risk over the next two years — ranking it ahead of war, environmental problems, and other threats from AI. And the discussion around misinformation and disinformation has shifted to fo…

#179 – Randy Nesse on why evolution left us so vulnerable to depression and anxiety 2:56:48

2M ago2:56:48

2:56:48

Mental health problems like depression and anxiety affect enormous numbers of people and severely interfere with their lives. By contrast, we don’t see similar levels of physical ill health in young people. At any point in time, something like 20% of young people are working through anxiety or depression that’s seriously interfering with their live…

#178 – Emily Oster on what the evidence actually says about pregnancy and parenting 2:22:36

3M ago2:22:36

2:22:36

"I think at various times — before you have the kid, after you have the kid — it's useful to sit down and think about: What do I want the shape of this to look like? What time do I want to be spending? Which hours? How do I want the weekends to look? The things that are going to shape the way your day-to-day goes, and the time you spend with your k…

#177 – Nathan Labenz on recent AI breakthroughs and navigating the growing rift between AI safety and accelerationist camps 2:47:09

3M ago2:47:09

2:47:09

Back in December we spoke with Nathan Labenz — AI entrepreneur and host of The Cognitive Revolution Podcast — about the speed of progress towards AGI and OpenAI's leadership drama, drawing on Nathan's alarming experience red-teaming an early version of GPT-4 and resulting conversations with OpenAI staff and board members. Today we go deeper, diving…

#90 Classic episode – Ajeya Cotra on worldview diversification and how big the future could be 2:59:17

3M ago2:59:17

2:59:17

Rebroadcast: this episode was originally released in January 2021. You wake up in a mysterious box, and hear the booming voice of God: “I just flipped a coin. If it came up heads, I made ten boxes, labeled 1 through 10 — each of which has a human in it. If it came up tails, I made ten billion boxes, labeled 1 through 10 billion — also with one huma…

#112 Classic episode – Carl Shulman on the common-sense case for existential risk work and its practical implications 3:50:30

3M ago3:50:30

3:50:30

Rebroadcast: this episode was originally released in October 2021. Preventing the apocalypse may sound like an idiosyncratic activity, and it sometimes is justified on exotic grounds, such as the potential for humanity to become a galaxy-spanning civilisation. But the policy of US government agencies is already to spend up to $4 million to save the…

#111 Classic episode – Mushtaq Khan on using institutional economics to predict effective government reforms 3:22:17

3M ago3:22:17

3:22:17

Rebroadcast: this episode was originally released in September 2021. If you’re living in the Niger Delta in Nigeria, your best bet at a high-paying career is probably ‘artisanal refining’ — or, in plain language, stealing oil from pipelines. The resulting oil spills damage the environment and cause severe health problems, but the Nigerian governmen…

#100 Classic episode – Having a successful career with depression, anxiety, and imposter syndrome 2:51:32

4M ago2:51:32

2:51:32

Rebroadcast: this episode was originally released in May 2021. Today’s episode is one of the most remarkable and really, unique, pieces of content we’ve ever produced (and I can say that because I had almost nothing to do with making it!). The producer of this show, Keiran Harris, interviewed our mutual colleague Howie about the major ways that men…

3:46:52

OpenAI says its mission is to build AGI — an AI system that is better than human beings at everything. Should the world trust them to do that safely? That’s the central theme of today’s episode with Nathan Labenz — entrepreneur, AI scout, and host of The Cognitive Revolution podcast. Links to learn more, summary, and full transcript. Nathan saw the…

#175 – Lucia Coulter on preventing lead poisoning for $1.66 per child 2:14:08

4M ago2:14:08

2:14:08

Lead is one of the most poisonous things going. A single sugar sachet of lead, spread over a park the size of an American football field, is enough to give a child that regularly plays there lead poisoning. For life they’ll be condemned to a ~3-point-lower IQ; a 50% higher risk of heart attacks; and elevated risk of kidney disease, anaemia, and ADH…

2:00:31

"It will change everything: it will change our workplaces, it will change our interactions with the government, it will change our interactions with each other. It will make all of us unwitting neuromarketing subjects at all times, because at every moment in time, when you’re interacting on any platform that also has issued you a multifunctional de…

#173 – Jeff Sebo on digital minds, and how to avoid sleepwalking into a major moral catastrophe 2:38:20

5M ago2:38:20

2:38:20

"We do have a tendency to anthropomorphise nonhumans — which means attributing human characteristics to them, even when they lack those characteristics. But we also have a tendency towards anthropodenial — which involves denying that nonhumans have human characteristics, even when they have them. And those tendencies are both strong, and they can b…

#172 – Bryan Caplan on why you should stop reading the news 2:23:22

5M ago2:23:22

2:23:22

Is following important political and international news a civic duty — or is it our civic duty to avoid it? It's common to think that 'staying informed' and checking the headlines every day is just what responsible adults do. But in today's episode, host Rob Wiblin is joined by economist Bryan Caplan to discuss the book Stop Reading the News: A Man…

#171 – Alison Young on how top labs have jeopardised public health with repeated biosafety failures 1:46:14

5M ago1:46:14

1:46:14

"Rare events can still cause catastrophic accidents. The concern that has been raised by experts going back over time, is that really, the more of these experiments, the more labs, the more opportunities there are for a rare event to occur — that the right pathogen is involved and infects somebody in one of these labs, or is released in some way fr…

#170 – Santosh Harish on how air pollution is responsible for ~12% of global deaths — and how to get that number down 2:57:46

6M ago2:57:46

2:57:46

"One [outrageous example of air pollution] is municipal waste burning that happens in many cities in the Global South. Basically, this is waste that gets collected from people's homes, and instead of being transported to a waste management facility or a landfill or something, gets burned at some point, because that's the fastest way to dispose of i…

#169 – Paul Niehaus on whether cash transfers cause economic growth, and keeping theft to acceptable levels 1:47:56

6M ago1:47:56

1:47:56

"One of our earliest supporters and a dear friend of mine, Mark Lampert, once said to me, “The way I think about it is, imagine that this money were already in the hands of people living in poverty. If I could, would I want to tax it and then use it to finance other projects that I think would benefit them?” I think that's an interesting thought ex…

#168 – Ian Morris on whether deep history says we're heading for an intelligence explosion 2:43:55

6M ago2:43:55

2:43:55

"If we carry on looking at these industrialised economies, not thinking about what it is they're actually doing and what the potential of this is, you can make an argument that, yes, rates of growth are slowing, the rate of innovation is slowing. But it isn't. What we're doing is creating wildly new technologies: basically producing what is nothing…

#167 – Seren Kell on the research gaps holding back alternative proteins from mass adoption 1:54:49

6M ago1:54:49

1:54:49

"There have been literally thousands of years of breeding and living with animals to optimise these kinds of problems. But because we're just so early on with alternative proteins and there's so much white space, it's actually just really exciting to know that we can keep on innovating and being far more efficient than this existing technology — wh…

6M ago3:08:49

3:08:49

"If you and I and 100 other people were on the first ship that was going to go settle Mars, and were going to build a human civilisation, and we have to decide what that government looks like, and we have all of the technology available today, how do we think about choosing a subset of that design space? That space is huge and it includes absolutel…
