It's been a bumper week for interesting podcast interviews with an AI theme!

In addition to this, there are Lex Fridman's series of interviews with various key people from Anthropic [0], and a long discussion between Stephen Wolfram and Eliezer Yudkowsky on the theme of AI risk [1].

I found the conversation between Wolfram and Yudkowsky hard to listen to. In fact, I didn't make it to the half. The arguments presented by both were sort of weak and uninteresting?

I find any conversation these days involving Wolfram or Yudkowsky hard to listen to. Them trying to talk to each other... I'd imagine them talking completely past each other, and am happy not to have to verify that.

That’s an excellent use for an AI generated TL;DR.

Yeah, and I thought Altman + Tan was good https://youtu.be/xXCBz_8hM9w

I'm only half way through that and it IS good, but I wish they wouldn't burn so much valuable time on recaps of the history that has already been told in so many other interviews, and get on to talking about the real changes we should expect going forward.
