@patrickc Striking stat from @patrickc on @dwarkesh_sp pod: 79% of respondents would change their current research programme *a lot* if able to reallocate committed funds in R&D grants How much research spend are we wasting globally because of R&D funding cycles & waterfall management?

Could AI deserve rights before it even feels like anything to be an AI? Oxford moral philosopher Andreas Mogensen thinks... maybe. In her first interview for the 80,000 Hours Podcast my colleague Zershaaneh Qureshi pushes Andreas on that, as well as new arguments for why human extinction could be a good thing: The puzzle of moral patienthood (00:03:20) Is subjective experience necessary? (00:05:52) What is it to desire? (00:10:42) Desiring without experiencing (00:17:56) What would make AIs moral patients? (00:28:17) Another route entirely: deserving autonomy (00:45:12) Maybe there's no objective truth about any of this (01:12:06) Practical implications (01:29:21) Why not just let superintelligence figure this out for us? (01:38:07) How could human extinction be a good thing? (01:47:30) Lexical threshold negative utilitarianism (02:12:30) So... should we still try to prevent extinction?

Aidan Gomez (Aidan Gomez) is a computer scientist, co-author of the seminal paper ‘Attention Is All You Need,’ and the CEO of Cohere. In this episode, we discussed his upbringing in the cabin his grandfather built in Codrington, a small town North of Brighton, and the values that were instilled in him through his family. We explored his path from Codrington to his undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto, emailing Geoffrey Hinton, and joining Google Brain where he co-wrote the paper on transformers. We discussed how he met his co-founders Ivan Zhang and Nick Frosst, and his insights on what it means to build a meaningful, successful company in Canada. Aidan shares his conviction about what is at stake — for Canada and for the world at large. This is a conversation about family, values, and what it means to live with conviction. The Other Stuff is hosted by internetVin — filmmaker, entrepreneur, and possibly the most curious man on Earth. Produced by New.

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”? [00:52:41] • Sure China could steal AI model weights, but does it matter [00:39:13] • Is it good if the world uses US not Chinese AI models? [00:21:58] • Why non-proliferation is a misguided model for AI [01:30:20] • Helen thinks AI progress isn't slowing down [01:50:10] • Will AI inevitably concentrate power? [01:07:49] • Helen’s defence of how the board handled firing Altman [00:01:32] • Will the military be willing to defer to AI in decision-making? [01:38:23] Available any place you get podcasts on the '80,000 Hours Podcast'. Links below — enjoy!
