It is! Thanks for subscribing Tara. I'll keep my eye on this story for you. Can't wait to see what Ziz and the rest have to say when the interviews finally emerge.
Talk about fun! These folks are really off their rockers and if they didn't kill innocent victims it sure would be fun to watch. Oh well, can't win them all I guess. Thanks for the breakdown regardless.
Your summary paragraphs about the "warping terror of existential threat" were particularly sharp. I don't think I've come across that idea put so succinctly before. Bravo. I think you are onto something. Plus a little Raskolnikov never hurts an argument. Ever.
Thanks Jared, appreciate this. The threat of AI is one of those topics, the more I read about it the more understand how it could drive someone off the edge. Don't hesitate to nudge me if there's anything else on your radar that sounds interesting. Your antennae are expertly tuned!
😵💫 Definitely feeling like a slow human as I try to wrap my head around all this stuff. What in the actual hell? Also, way to give vegans a bad name. Now the pro-beef lobby is like, "WARNING: A vegan diet will turn you into a crazed murderer." I laughed out loud several times, including "I’d like to call this stuff nuts and just move on. I’ve got work to do and it’s hard to focus when the aliens are coming up the drive." Thanks for breaking down this madness for us, Sanj.
Thanks Hilary! The vegan/violence thing is definitely counterintuitive given the vegans I've met. But equally, if you value animal life as equivalent to human, then maybe it makes you a bit more cavalier about human beings in the long run? Not that I'm anyone to talk. I value my dog over almost everyone I know.
I don't know how you look into this stuff wihout losing it yourself. “A madman is not someone who has lost his reason but someone who has lost everything but his reason” G K Chesterton.
What an absolutely wild ride.

Nice one Michael, that's the perfect quote! As for losing it, I think that ship has sailed...
