I Went On Jubilee's Middle Ground To Warn About AI Extinction!
Podcast: Doom Debates!Published On: Thu Apr 02 2026
Description: The popular debate show, Middle Ground by Jubilee, invited me on to take the "anti-AI" side back in April 2024.This highlight reel of the episode shows my experience of the discussion.I'm a lifelong techno-optimist, and it's unnatural for me to represent an anti-tech position. It's just that our AI labs are admitting they're on the path to superintelligence they don't know how to control, which implies we're all about to die and the universe will be robbed of all value forever before our kids grow up. Other than that one little consideration, I'm normally pro-tech!Timestamps00:00:00 — Why Liron is Worried about AI00:02:13 — The Nuclear Analogy00:02:43 — Human Evolution and Neuralink00:03:14 — The AI Labs’ Own WarningsLinksFull episode on YouTube —https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47fGrqzoFr8Doom Debates’ Mission is to raise mainstream awareness of imminent extinction from AGI and build the social infrastructure for high-quality debate.Support the mission by subscribing to my Substack at DoomDebates.com and to youtube.com/@DoomDebates, or to really take things to the next level: Donate 🙏 Get full access to Doom Debates at lironshapira.substack.com/subscribe
