AI Doom Debate: “Cards Against Humanity” Co-Creator David Pinsof
Podcast: Doom DebatesPublished On: Thu Aug 08 2024
Description: David Pinsof is co-creator of the wildly popular Cards Against Humanity and a social science researcher at UCLA Social Minds Lab. He writes a blog called “Everything Is B******t”.He sees AI doomers as making many different questionable assumptions, and he sees himself as poking holes in those assumptions.I don’t see it that way at all; I think the doom claim is the “default expectation” we ought to have if we understand basic things about intelligence.At any rate, I think you’ll agree that his attempt to poke holes in my doom claims on today’s podcast is super good-natured and interesting.00:00 Introducing David Pinsof04:12 David’s P(doom)05:38 Is intelligence one thing?21:14 Humans vs. other animals37:01 The Evolution of Human Intelligence37:25 Instrumental Convergence39:05 General Intelligence and Physics40:25 The Blind Watchmaker Analogy47:41 Instrumental Convergence01:02:23 Superintelligence and Economic Models01:12:42 Comparative Advantage and AI01:19:53 The Fermi Paradox for Animal Intelligence01:34:57 Closing StatementsFollow David: x.com/DavidPinsofFollow Liron: x.com/lironThanks for watching.
