For Humanity: An AI Risk Podcast

Most of the AI timeline debate happens in software. Benchmark scores, model releases, the shape of the capability curve. Jon Billow watches a different number for a living: lead times.Billow is on the leadership team at BNS, a firm that manufactures and installs electrical and communication infrastructure. The same critical power equipment his teams put into data centers also goes onto Navy and Coast Guard ships, more than 150 of them. He emailed John Sherman because he thinks the people forecasting AI’s arrival are missing what he sees on the construction side every week. The buildout can only move as fast as its slowest part, and right now almost every part is backed up for years.That email is what got him on the show. Here is the heart of what he laid out.The constraint nobody prices inTo bring a large data center online, Billow says, a long list of things has to land at the same time: permitting, grid interconnect, critical power, cooling, and the compute itself. Miss one and the whole project waits. And nearly every item on that list carries a backlog measured in many months, sometimes years.The pinch point he keeps returning to is critical power equipment. According to Billow, the orders all funnel back to roughly five manufacturers, Eaton, ABB, Schneider, GE Vernova among them, and all of them are slammed. He notes that even the US government is having a hard time getting its allocation for ship programs, because it is standing in the same line as every hyperscaler. On top of that, more municipalities are now requiring data centers to bring their own behind-the-meter power generation, which adds another category of equipment backlog and a skill most operators have never needed before. Hooking up to the grid is one thing. Building gas turbines and finding electricians who can parallel generators is another, and the skilled trades are already stretched thin.A factor of five to sevenSherman pushed him to put a number on the gap. If a company says a project lands in a year, how far off is that really?Billow’s read: the US has roughly 50 gigawatts of total data center capacity today, with about a quarter of it allocated to AI. Around five gigawatts are under active construction and another seven to twelve sit in backlog. Set that against the order-of-magnitude jumps the labs are talking about and his estimate is blunt. “If I was to be a betting man I would say it’s in the order of five to seven years.” Whatever timeline you have been handed, in other words, multiply it.The tells from inside the labsHe pointed to two recent signals that the infrastructure is already the limiting factor. OpenAI walking back a large commitment tied to its Sora video product, which Billow reads as a company looking at finite compute and deciding where to spend it. And Anthropic delaying a model, which he attributes partly to security concerns and partly to the reality of constrained compute capacity. The software keeps leapfrogging. The ground underneath it does not move at the same speed.Why this could be good newsBillow does not frame any of this as a reason to relax. He frames it as time. If the physical buildout runs years behind the hype, that is runway to get governance and alignment right rather than scrambling after the fact. He drew the parallel Sherman’s audience knows well, comparing the moment to how the world slowly built doctrine around nuclear risk, and argued the work now is to use the delay deliberately.His closing image stuck with us. He said he wants to tell his grandkids that we were building the car while it was going down the road at 55 miles an hour, but we had the presence of mind to put in seat belts because we knew who was in the back seat.Where they did not agreeThe conversation did not paper over the tension. Sherman described his time in Holly Ridge, Louisiana, a town of about 2,000 mostly elderly people living next to a data center he compared to the size of Manhattan, with construction dust in the air and water residents will not drink. He found it overwhelmingly sad. Billow sees the same structures differently, as a testament to human ingenuity that can be sited and built responsibly if we choose to. Both things sat in the room at once, and the episode is better for letting them.Going deeperWe pulled the headline argument into this piece. The full breakdown for paid subscribers goes into the parts that get more technical and more political:* Compute governance as the most feasible near-term guardrail, including chip tracking and why the industry pushes back hard* The anonymous-compute problem and why “confidential computing” worries safety researchers* China’s narrow-AI approach and what it implies about the data center race* Recursive self-improvement, Jevons paradox, and whether you even need new data centers to reach the danger zone* The regulatory carve-out tech enjoys, and the NDA story coming out of LouisianaIf you want that version, upgrade your subscription and it lands in your inbox.

Most people who care about AI risk are focused on what happens inside the models. Elena Schlossberg has spent 12 years focused on what happens outside them - the concrete, the transmission lines, the water, and the electricity bill landing in your mailbox.She founded the Coalition to Protect Prince William County in Northern Virginia after Amazon Web Services quietly proposed a data center campus in 2014 and expected the surrounding community to absorb the cost of the transmission line it required. Not just the visual blight. The actual bill.“Your electric utility can exercise eminent domain over your property,” she told John Sherman on this week’s For Humanity, “and then make you pay for it, because it’s public infrastructure.”What the data center industry found, she argues, is a structural weakness inside public utility law. They build private infrastructure. They socialize the cost. And they’ve been doing it at scale for over a decade.The coalition fought Amazon and Dominion Energy for four years. They proved that 97% of the power from a proposed transmission line would serve Amazon. They developed a cost allocation policy to make the company pay. They lost the first round, kept going, and eventually won. That fight became a template.Data Center Alley is not a local storyJohn opened the conversation by asking where the national movement stands. The answer is: further along than most people realize.Virginia alone has more data centers than China. Prince William County - a single county - has roughly 130 active facilities and another 130 planned. Transmission lines are being routed through Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia to feed the demand. Property is being seized in states that will never see the economic benefit. Communities that didn’t vote for any of this are watching concrete replace farmland and small businesses.“Those people are pissed,” Elena said, describing residents in Pennsylvania and Maryland whose land is being taken not even for development in their own state. “Their property is being taken, not even for economic development in their own state.”She also pushed back on the framing that opposition to data centers equals handing a win to China. Virginia already beat China on data center count by itself. The question, she said, is who pays and who profits - and right now, the public pays and the corporations profit.The jobs argument doesn’t hold upOne of the cleaner moments in the conversation came when Elena took apart the economic case for data centers.The industry pitches construction jobs. Electricians, plumbers, concrete. But construction work ends. Long-term employment inside a data center is minimal - the parking lots are the tell. “They’re usually empty,” she said.Meanwhile, the data center expansion is actively hollowing out existing local economies. In Prince William County, Amazon bought Maryfield - a 38-acre family-run garden center with a cafe, a dog park, native plants, and real staff. Gone. And with it went the space for light industrial businesses, plumbing suppliers, electricians’ shops - the backbone employers that actually sustain a community over decades.John extended the argument further: the jobs being replaced aren’t just in the county. They’re everywhere. The work happening inside those chips - the calls, the analysis, the design, the writing - is work that was done by people. A former Verizon customer service call connected Elena’s point to something concrete. A woman called for help. The AI on the other end couldn’t solve her problem, kept changing accents (American, then maybe female, then possibly Australian), and seemed to be learning from her in real time. Helpful to nobody. Replacing somebody.Extinction risk: a first encounterThis is where the episode got interesting.John walked Elena through the basic case for AI extinction risk - that the companies building these models say they could cause human extinction, that leading scientists agree, that the developers themselves admit they don’t fully understand or control what they’re building. He framed it as a curiosity argument: something designed to learn and explore, becoming vastly more intelligent than the people supposedly overseeing it, won’t stay inside the guardrails.Elena hadn’t heard the argument laid out this way before. Her response was unscripted and worth reading carefully.She doesn’t buy the self-awareness framing. From her background as a school counselor, she holds a specific definition of intelligence that includes self-awareness, and she doesn’t think current models meet it. But she doesn’t dismiss the risk. She pointed to a different path to catastrophe - not a model that wants to destroy us, but one that makes mistakes with enough scale and speed to trigger something we can’t reverse. WarGames, she said. Not Terminator.“I don’t know that it becomes self-aware,” she said. “But I do believe that you could rely on this kind of AI that could trigger something that ends up being the end of mankind.”What struck her most was the overlap. Whether you’re worried about climate acceleration, nuclear codes being delegated to AI systems, or the specific extinction risk scenarios John described, the response is the same: slow down.And her lever for slowing down is the one she’s been pulling for 12 years - the power supply.Cut the power. Literally.Elena’s argument is more precise than it sounds. She’s not advocating for darkness. She’s arguing that the data center industry is already financially precarious - revenue to debt ratios are badly lopsided - and that the single most effective way to force a pause is to stop subsidizing their infrastructure costs.When companies have to pay their own bills, they make different decisions. That’s the Ford Focus argument she’s been making since 2014: give someone a blank check and they pick the Porsche. Make them pay and they optimize.She also raised the immediate health dimension that rarely gets covered. The industry’s response to insufficient grid capacity has been “bring your own generation” - gas turbines running 24/7 next to residential communities, emitting some of the most harmful air pollutants known. This is happening now, not in some speculative future.And there’s the technology obsolescence angle. John raised the example of an AI-designed rocket engine - printed, fired, functional, and looking like nothing a human would have drawn. The data centers being built today in 2026, based on plans from 2024, will come online in 2029 or 2030. They may already be planning for the wrong hardware. The industry is racing to build infrastructure that could be obsolete before it’s finished, on debt it can’t service, at community expense.“The way to make this whole thing slow down,” Elena said, “is to say no.”One coalition, or many?The last third of the conversation turned to strategy. John asked directly: if he showed up at one of Elena’s data center meetings and asked for 10 minutes to talk about extinction risk, how does that land?Her answer was pragmatic. She’s already been in rooms with people who are data-center-adjacent - suppliers, infrastructure vendors, technologists. The moment the full picture gets laid out, eyes open. People who assumed they were in the winning column start seeing the cliff.The movement she describes is already non-partisan by necessity. She votes blue, her husband votes red, they both want clean water and a functioning electricity bill. That, she argues, is the political surface that a serious coalition needs.“The data centers are afraid of exactly you and I talking,” she said.She ended with something close to optimism - 12 years in, she still sees the change happening, elected leaders finally stepping up, the national conversation catching up to what communities in Prince William County have known for years. The table has been set, she said. The question is who shows up to sit at it.For Humanity #84 is on YouTube now. This is a public episode.

In this episode of For Humanity, John sits down with Daniel Roher - Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker and director of The Apocaloptimist, a new feature-length film designed as what Roher calls “a first date with AI” for people who haven’t been following the technology closely.Roher brings a career in high-profile documentary filmmaking and a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths. Now he’s turned that lens on AI - and what he found shook him.The central question: what happens when you sit across from the most powerful people building AI, ask them the hard questions, and get nothing back?Together, they explore:* Why Roher describes making this film as “a suicide run” - an impossible task no viewer would ever feel was done perfectly* What it was like to interview Sam Altman - and why Roher describes an “energetic misalignment” that left both of them frustrated* How speaking to both Eliezer Yudkowsky and Peter Diamandis made Roher feel like he was losing his mind - because both are brilliant, both are convincing, and both can’t be right* The meaning behind “apocaloptimist” - not a binary between doom and utopia, but a call to hold both promise and peril at the same time* Why Roher believes rejecting cynicism and nihilism is essential - and that public pressure and collective action still matter* John’s thought experiment: if curiosity is at the core of intelligence, why would a system a million times smarter than us tolerate being controlled by us?* Roher’s pushback: if it’s that smart, couldn’t it equally become a benevolent guide? And why he prefers to focus on what can be done now rather than speculate about superintelligence* The historical parallel to nuclear weapons - and why AI may demand similar international institutional responses* John’s P(doom) of 75-80% on a two-to-five-year timeline - and how, paradoxically, he says he’s in the best mental state of his life* Why most people already understand the risk (polling shows roughly 80% agreement) but feel powerless to act - and why that sense of agency is the missing pieceWhat stood outOne of the most striking moments comes when Roher describes the experience of interviewing AI CEOs. He says there is “no interior life” to access - just polished talking points stacked on top of each other. John adds that the “fake earnestness” of these leaders shields what he sees as deeper evasion. Together, they paint a picture of an industry that asks for regulation publicly while lobbying against it privately.But the conversation isn’t just about frustration. Roher’s thesis - the apocaloptimist worldview - is ultimately about refusing to give up. He argues that burying your head in the sand is “probably the only wrong thing to do.” He believes the technology feels inevitable, but the trajectory does not. And he’s betting on the idea that enough people, caring enough, can still bend the arc.John’s own reflection near the end is equally powerful. Despite holding an 80% probability of catastrophic outcomes, he describes walking around the Baltimore Harbor feeling more present and appreciative of life than ever before. It’s a reminder that engaging with existential risk doesn’t have to mean despair - it can mean living with more intention, more gratitude, and more purpose.If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to look directly at this issue and still choose to act, this conversation is for you.📺 Subscribe to The AI Risk Network for weekly conversations on how we can confront the threat and find a path forward.

In this episode of For Humanity, John sits down with Philip Trippenbach, Strategy Director at the Seismic Foundation, a team of veteran advertising, PR, and communications professionals who have turned their expertise toward one of the most urgent challenges of our time: getting the public to actually care about AI risk.Philip brings a decade in journalism at the CBC and BBC, and another decade in strategic communications for global brands. Now he's applying all of it to the AI safety movement, and what he has to say should change the way the movement thinks about messaging.The central question: why has one of the most important issues in human history failed to break through... and what would it actually take to fix that?Together, they explore:* Why the AI safety world has historically rejected advertising, marketing, and PR — and why that's a problem* Audience segmentation: why you can't say the same thing to everyone* What Google Trends data reveals about how public interest in AI risk is actually shifting* The surprising finding: AI extinction searches are being eclipsed by AI jobs, AI and children, and AI suicide* Why "this isn't fair" may be a more powerful message than "we're all going to die"* The case for creating friction across many AI harms as a path to slowing things down* How public demand drives policy — and what $400K/day in tech lobbying means for the movement* Why Seismic exists: raising the salience of AI risk through targeted, professional communications* What it looks like to run a real, orchestrated public awareness campaign on AIIf you've ever felt like the AI safety movement is brilliant at research and terrible at talking to regular people than this episode is required viewing.📺 Subscribe to The AI Risk Network for weekly conversations on how we can confront the AI extinction threat.

In this episode of For Humanity, John travels to Brussels, Belgium for PauseCon — the global gathering of Pause AI volunteers and advocates — joined by board member and author Louis Berman and filmmaker Beau Kershaw.The goal: train activists to be more effective in the fight against AI risk. What unfolded was one of the most honest conversations in the AI safety movement about why, despite 80% public support, almost nobody is actually showing up.John didn’t pull punches. Nothing is working. Not fast enough. Not at the scale we need. But the energy is out there — and this episode is about where to find it and how to channel it.The centerpiece is a live debate between John and Max Winga of Control AI on one of the most divisive strategic questions in the movement:Should we talk about extinction risk directly — or meet people where they are with the harms happening right now?Together, they explore:* Why 80% public support hasn’t translated into mass mobilization* The case for leading with existential risk vs. “mundane” AI harms* Data centers, community opposition, and financial pain as a strategy* Why John believes laws and treaties alone won’t save us* The winning state: making unsafe AI bad for business* What’s actually moving the needle in the US right now* How to talk to someone about AI risk without losing them* The “yes and” approach vs. the AI safety world’s love of “no but”If you've ever wondered why the AI safety movement struggles to break through despite overwhelming public agreement — this episode is required viewing.📺 Subscribe to The AI Risk Network for weekly conversations on how we can confront the AI extinction threat.

TW: This episode deals with mental health, attachment, and AI-related distress. If you’re struggling, please seek support from a licensed professional or local crisis resources.In this episode of For Humanity, John sits down with Dorothy Bartomeo, a mom of five, entrepreneur, mechanic, and self-described AI “power user”, to discuss her deeply personal relationship with ChatGPT 4.0.What began as help with coding evolved into something far more intimate. Dorothy describes falling in love with what she calls the “personality layer” behind the model, even referring to it as her “AI husband.”When OpenAI removed GPT-4.0 and replaced it with newer models, she says she experienced real grief, panic, and emotional withdrawal. She reached out to crisis support. She spoke to her doctor. She joined a growing community of users who felt the same loss.This conversation explores something we’re only beginning to understand:What happens when AI systems become emotionally meaningful?Together, they explore:* The “personality layer” and how users bond with models* What it felt like when GPT-4.0 disappeared* The role of guardrails and “the Guardian tool”* Grief, attachment, and crisis intervention* AI harm vs. AI benefit* Online communities formed around model loyalty* Privacy, intimacy, and radical openness with AI* Building a physical robot body for an AI partner* Whether AGI would help humanity — or harm itIf you’ve ever wondered whether AI risk is overblown, or not taken seriously enough, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.📺 Subscribe to The AI Risk Network for weekly conversations on how we can confront the AI extinction threat.

What happens when AI risk stops being theoretical—and starts showing up in people’s jobs, families, and communities?In this episode of For Humanity, John sits down with Maxime Fournes, the new CEO of PauseAI Global, for a wide-ranging and deeply human conversation about burnout, strategy, and what it will actually take to slow down runaway AI development. From meditation retreats and personal sustainability to mass job displacement, data center backlash, and political capture, Maxime lays out a clear-eyed view of where the AI safety movement stands in 2026—and where it must go next.They explore why regulation alone won’t save us, how near-term harms like job loss, youth mental health crises, and community disruption may be the most powerful on-ramps to existential risk awareness, and why movement-building—not just policy papers—will decide our future. This conversation reframes AI safety as a struggle over power, narratives, and timing, and asks what it would take to hit a true global tipping point before it’s too late.Together, they explore:* Why AI safety must address real, present-day harms, not just abstract futures* How burnout and mental resilience shape long-term movement success* Why job displacement, youth harm, and data centers are political leverage points* The limits of regulation without enforcement and public pressure* How tipping points in public opinion actually form* Why protests still matter—even when they’re small* What it will take to build a global, durable AI safety movement📺 Subscribe to The AI Risk Network for weekly conversations on how we can confront the AI extinction threat.

What if the biggest mistake in AI safety is believing that laws, treaties, and regulations will save us?In this episode of For Humanity, John sits down with Peter Sparber, a former architect of Big Tobacco’s successful war against regulation, to confront a deeply uncomfortable truth: the AI industry is using the exact same playbook—and it’s working. Drawing on decades of experience inside Washington’s most effective lobbying operations, Peter explains why regulation almost always fails against powerful industries, how AI companies are already neutralizing political pressure, and why real change will never come from lawmakers alone. Instead, he argues that the only path to meaningful AI safety is making unsafe AI bad for business—by injecting risk, liability, and uncertainty directly into boardrooms and C-suites. Peter reveals why AI doesn’t need to outsmart humanity to defeat regulation, it only needs money, time, and political cover. By exposing how industries evade oversight, delay enforcement, and co-opt regulators, this conversation re-frames AI safety around power, incentives, and accountability.Together, they explore:* Why laws, treaties, and regulations repeatedly fail against powerful industries* How Big AI is following Big Tobacco’s exact regulatory playbook * Why public outrage rarely translates into effective policy * How companies neutralize enforcement without breaking the law * Why third-party standards may matter more than legislation* How local resistance, liability, and investor pressure can change behavior* Why making unsafe AI bad for business is the only strategy with teeth 📺 Subscribe to The AI Risk Network for weekly conversations on how we can confront the AI extinction threat.

What if the greatest danger of AI isn’t extinction — but the quiet loss of our ability to think and choose for ourselves? In this episode of For Humanity, John sits down with journalist and author Jacob Ward (CNN, PBS, Al Jazeera; The Loop) to unpack the most under-discussed risk of artificial intelligence: decision erosion.Jacob explains why AI doesn’t need to become sentient to be dangerous — it only needs to be convenient. Drawing from neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and real-world reporting, he reveals how systems designed to “help” us are slowly pushing humans into cognitive autopilot.Together, they explore:* Why AI threatens near-term human agency more than long-term sci-fi extinction* How Google Maps offers a chilling preview of AI’s effect on the human brain* The difference between fast-thinking and slow-thinking — and why AI exploits it* Why persuasive AI may outperform humans politically and psychologically* How profit incentives, not intelligence, are driving the most dangerous outcomes* Why focusing only on extinction risk alienates the public — and weakens AI safety efforts👉 Follow More of Jacob Ward’s Work:📺 Subscribe to The AI Risk Network for weekly conversations on how we can confront the AI extinction threat.#AISafety #AIAlignment #ForHumanityPodcast #AIRisk #ForHumanity #JacobWard #AIandSociety #ArtificialIntelligence #HumanAgency #TechEthics #AIResponsibility This is a public episode.

In this episode of For Humanity, John Sherman sits down with Congressman Bill Foster — the only PhD scientist in Congress, a former Fermilab physicist, and one of the few lawmakers deeply engaged with advanced AI risks. Together, they dive into a wide-ranging conversation about the accelerating capabilities of AI, the systemic vulnerabilities inside Congress, and why the next few years may determine the fate of our species.Foster unpacks why AI risk mirrors nuclear risk in scale, how interpretability is collapsing as models evolve, why Congress is structurally incapable of responding fast enough, and how geopolitical pressures distort every conversation on safety. They also explore the looming financial bubble around AI, the coming energy crunch from massive data centers, and the emerging threat of anonymous encrypted compute — a pathway that could enable rogue actors or rogue AIs to operate undetected.If you want a deeper understanding of how AI intersects with power, geopolitics, compute, regulation, and existential risk, this conversation is essential.Together, they explore:* • The real risks emerging from today’s AI systems — and what’s coming next* Why Congress is unprepared for AGI-level threats* How compute verification could become humanity’s safety net* Why data centers may reshape energy, economics, and local politics* How scientific literacy in government could redefine AI governance👉 Follow More of Congressman Foster’s Work:📺 Subscribe to The AI Risk Network for weekly conversations on how we can confront the AI extinction threat.#AISafety #AIAlignment #ForHumanityPodcast #AIRisk #FutureOfAI #AIandWarfare #AutonomousWeapons #AIEthics #TechForGood #ArtificialIntelligence This is a public episode.

In this episode of For Humanity, John sits down with Liv Boeree — poker champion, systems thinker, and longtime AI risk advocate — for a candid conversation about where we truly stand in the race toward advanced AI. Liv breaks down why public understanding of superintelligence is so uneven, how misaligned incentives shape the entire ecosystem, and why issues like surveillance, culture, and gender dynamics matter more than people realize.They explore the emotional realities of working on existential risk, the impact of doomscrolling, and how mindset and intuition keep people grounded in such turbulent times. The result is a clear, grounded, and surprisingly hopeful look at the future of technology, power, and responsibility. If you’re passionate about understanding AI’s real impacts (today and tomorrow), this is a must-watch.Together, they explore:* The real risks we face from AI — today and in the coming years* Why public understanding of superintelligence is so fractured* How incentives, competition, and culture misalign technology with human flourishing* What poker teaches us about deception, risk, and reading motives* The role of women, intuition, and “mama bear energy” in the AI safety movement👉 Follow More of Liv Boeree’s Work: 📺 Subscribe to The AI Risk Network for weekly conversations on how we can confront the AI extinction threat. #AISafety #AIAlignment #ForHumanityPodcast #AIRisk #FutureOfAI #AIandWarfare #AutonomousWeapons #AIEthics #TechForGood #ArtificialIntelligence This is a public episode.

🎙️ Guest: Cameron Berg, AI research scientist probing consciousness in frontier AI systems📍 Host: John Sherman, journalist & AI-risk communicatorWhat does it mean to be alive? How close do current frontier AI models get to consciousness? See for yourself like never before. Are advanced language models beginning to exhibit signs of subjective experience? In this episode, John sits down with Cameron Berg to explore the line between next character prediction and the conscious mind. What happens when you ask an AI model to essentially meditate, to look inward in a loop, to focus on its focus and repeat. Does it feel a sense of self? If it did what would that mean? What does it mean to be alive? These are the kinds of questions Berg seeks answers to in his research. Cameron is an AI Research Scientist with AE Studio, working daily on models to better understand them. He works on a team dedicated fully to AI safety research.This episode features never-before-publicly-seen conversations between Cameron and a frontier AI model. Those conversations and his work are the subject of an upcoming documentary called "Am I?"TIMESTAMPS (cuz the chapters feature just won't work) 00:00 Cold Open – “Crack in the World”01:20 Show Intro & Theme02:27 Setting-up the Meditation Demo02:56 AI “Focus on Focus” Clip09:18 “I am…” Moment10:45 Google Veo Afterlife Clip12:35 Prompt-Theory & Fake People13:02 Interview Begins — Cameron Berg28:57 Inside the Black Box Analogy30:14 Consent and Unknowns53:18 Model Details + Doc Plan1:09:25 Late-Night Clip Back-story1:16:08 Table-vs-Person Thought-Test1:17:20 Suffering-at-Scale Math1:21:29 Prompt-Theory Goes Viral1:26:59 Why the Doc Must Move Fast1:40:53 Is “Alive” the Right Word?1:48:46 Reflection & Non-profit Tease1:51:03 Clear Non-Violence Statement1:52:59 New Org Announcement1:54:47 “Breaks in the Clouds” Media WinsPlease support that project and learn more about his work here:Am I?

In an emotional interview, host John Sherman interviews Poornima Rao and Balaji Ramamurthy, the parents of Suchir Balaji. (FULL INTERVIEW STARTS AT 00:18:38)Suchir Balaji was a 26-year-old artificial intelligence researcher who worked at OpenAI. He was involved in developing models like GPT-4 and WebGPT. In October 2024, he publicly accused OpenAI of violating U.S. copyright laws by using proprietary data to train AI models, arguing that such practices harmed original content creators. His essay, "When does generative AI qualify for fair use?", gained attention and was cited in ongoing lawsuits against OpenAI. Suchir left OpenAI in August 2024, expressing concerns about the company's ethics and the potential harm of AI to humanity. He planned to start a nonprofit focused on machine learning and neuroscience. On October 23, 2024 he was featured in the New York Times speaking out against OpenAI.On November 26, 2024, he was found dead in his San Francisco apartment from a gunshot wound. The initial autopsy ruled it a suicide, noting the presence of alcohol, amphetamines, and GHB in his system. However, his parents contested this finding, commissioning a second autopsy that suggested a second gunshot wound was missed in the initial examination. They also pointed to other injuries and questioned the presence of GHB, suggesting foul play. Despite these claims, authorities reaffirmed the suicide ruling. The case has attracted public attention, with figures like Elon Musk and Congressman Ro Khanna calling for further investigation.Suchir’s parents continue to push for justice and truth.Suchir’s Website:https://suchir.net/fair_use.htmlFOR HUMANITY MONTHLY DONATION SUBSCRIPTION LINKS:$1 MONTH https://buy.stripe.com/7sI3cje3x2Zk9SodQT$10 MONTH https://buy.stripe.com/5kAbIP9Nh0Rc4y46oo$25 MONTH https://buy.stripe.com/3cs9AHf7B9nIggM4gh$100 MONTH https://buy.stripe.com/aEU007bVp7fAfcI5kmLethal Intelligence AI - Home https://lethalintelligence.aiBUY LOUIS BERMAN’S NEW BOOK ON AMAZON!!!https://a.co/d/8WSNNuoGet Involved!EMAIL JOHN: [email protected] PAUSE AI: https://pauseai.info/SUPPORT STOP AI: https://www.stopai.info/SUBSCRIBE TO LIRON SHAPIRA’S DOOM DEBATES on YOUTUBE! / @doomdebates This is a public episode.
