Description: What did we learn from my debate with Robin Hanson? Did we successfully isolate the cruxes of disagreement? I actually think we did!In this post-debate analysis, we’ll review what those key cruxes are, and why I still think I’m right and Robin is wrong about them!I’ve taken the time to think much harder about everything Robin said during the debate, so I can give you new & better counterarguments than the ones I was able to make in realtime.Timestamps00:00 Debate Reactions06:08 AI Timelines and Key Metrics08:30 “Optimization Power” vs. “Innovation”11:49 Economic Growth and Diffusion17:56 Predicting Future Trends24:23 Crux of Disagreement with Robin’s Methodology34:59 Conjunction Argument for Low P(Doom)37:26 Headroom Above Human Intelligence41:13 The Role of Culture in Human Intelligence48:01 Goal-Completeness and AI Optimization50:48 Misaligned Foom Scenario59:29 Monitoring AI and the Rule of Law01:04:51 How Robin Sees Alignment01:09:08 Reflecting on the DebateLinksAISafety.info - The fractal of counterarguments to non-doomers’ argumentsFor the full Doom Debates experience:* Subscribe to youtube.com/@DoomDebates* Subscribe to this Substack: DoomDebates.com* Search "Doom Debates" to subscribe in your podcast player* Follow me at x.com/liron Get full access to Doom Debates at lironshapira.substack.com/subscribe
