Great conversation but is Alex naive about dangers of AI and maybe but hopefully not you are too Lex. You should invite Sam Harris to the show to truely have someone play devils advocate. Stuart Russel was great too. Alex 2 arguments about "experience" of harnessing living creatures (children), and basically implementing the 5 rules of robotics are both extremely easily counterargumented. Nr 1 - Imagine if children were born both physically stronger and also way smarter than their parents allready day1, that is not the case with babies but with AI it might be. Nr 2. Basically the alignment-problem, you can´t hardcode into the program a set of rules and expect them to not be ignored if they stand in conflict with the goal of the AI. <br><br><br>That you Lex, now as such an influential person in AI, still tries to categorize persons or AI:s as Good or Evil baffles and to some extent worries me<br><br><br>Thank you for your hard work with an interesting podcast
