Our news industry is broken. Instead of optimizing for truth, it optimizes for outrage. And it's no one in particular's fault! It's the nature of the game itself. A classic Moloch trap. I explore this in my new film "The Media Wars" now available on Twitter in full: 👇

I asked an Amazonian Shaman about AI! It’s not often you get to meet--let alone interview--someone who has lived most of their life outside of modern society, and has an entirely different flavor of wisdom to anyone else you know. So when Txana Tuwe, elder of the Huni Kuin tribe from the Brazilian rainforest, came to Austin, I had to get him on Win-Win, language barrier be damned! We discuss AI, ayahuasca, shamanic warfare, competitiveness, talking to whales... as you'll see he has very different perspectives (and general vibe) to your average modern person, and I am so grateful for him for joining this experiment. Hope you enjoy.

What if we're all PARTIALLY right... about AI? Skeptics, e/acc, safetyists, ethicists, china-hawks... the AI debate has become a hot mess. So I tried to act it out. Watch the results below. If I butchered your accent, I do not apologize. This was not an easy film to make.

Anthropic and the Department of War are... at war. But who can we trust to govern superintelligent AI? The government, or the market? Two people who strongly disagree on this are Dean W. Ball (ex senior advisor to Trump) and Daniel Kokotajlo (ex OpenAI). So I asked them to debate it! But this goes way beyond a simple debate. They also had to red-team their own arguments and steelman each other. It's a new format called an ANTI-debate (more info below). Lmk what you think! 00:00 - Intro 03:42 - Daniel’s Story 04:34 - Dean’s Story 06:52 - Opening Statements 19:54 - Rebuttals 25:45 - Free Debate 36:32 - Steelmanning 45:40 - Red-teaming 51:38 - Synthesis 1:17:30 - Closing Statements

Democracy is a hot mess right now, in part because politicians are an outdated technology. What if we replaced - or at least supplemented them with -databases that tracked their constituents' values? That's one of many juicy topics covered in this Win-Win conversation with Jamie Joyce for Congress . Jamie is the founder of Society Library and a leading expert on information infrastructure, and this is one of my favourite conversations thus far. Watch right here on X, or your usual pod platform.
