AI Doom Debate: “Cards Against Humanity” Co-Creator David Pinsof
from Doom Debates! Hosted by Liron Shapira and David Pinsof
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 Pinsof 04:12 David’s P(doom) 05:38 Is intelligence one thing? 21:14 Humans vs. other animals 37:01 The Evolution of Human Intelligence 37:25 Instrumental Convergence 39:05 General Intelligence and Physics 40:25 The Blind Watchmaker Analogy 47:41 Instrumental Convergence 01:02:23 Superintelligence and Economic Models 01:12:42 Comparative Advantage and AI 01:19:53 The Fermi Paradox for Animal Intelligence 01:34:57 Closing Statements Follow David: x.com/DavidPinsof Follow Liron: x.com/liron Thanks for watching.
