Did a podcast recently with Jonas Lamais of Singularity University. Here it is. It’s my first experience doing a podcast ever, so it’s definitely not perfect, but not horrible. Hopefully I will get better at this sort of thing as time goes on.

Topics discussed are the Lifeboat Foundation, existential risk, this blog, and the burgeoning Bay Area Transhumanist movement.

I answered the question about AI timeframes incorrectly. I was asked when it is important to start programming AIs for safety, and I misinterpreted that as a question about when human-equivalent AI would come about. It’s important to be thinking about how to program AIs for safety now, not later.
