My interview with Helen Toner on firing Altman, AGI geopolitics in China & Middle East, and military use of AI. Toner co-founded and now leads the Center for Security and Emerging Technology at Georgetown in DC, maybe the leading think tank on natsec and AI. We discuss: • Is China actually racing to build AGI? [00:27:56] • Why you shouldn't say 'alignment' [01:45:11] • Is Congress starting to take superintelligence seriously? [01:47:42] • Are data centres in the UAE “good for democracy”?
