Be interviewed by me about AI!
I’m working on an article about how people who have short AI timelines cope psychologically with the world becoming almost unrecognizably different in the next few years.
I’m interested in responses from both “doomers” (people who expect humanity to go extinct) and people who don’t anticipate human extinction but do expect radical changes (e.g. an end to poverty and disease, the end of work, humanity being uploaded).
I expect interviews to take about one hour on average, depending on how much you like to talk.
If you’d like to be interviewed, please email me at ozybrennan@gmail.com with:
Your AI timelines and p(doom).
Your type and level of involvement in AI.
How well you would say you are coping with all this.
I would like someone else to do a timeline for religious people who have short second coming timelines.
This is not meant to be snarky btw, I don't really know anything about AI. But as a raised-atheist I used to find it so fascinating how regular religious people could just cope with the idea of hell and the end times. Then I went on zoloft for OCD and it made a lot more sense.
does it count if I cope by pretending it's fake 🤭
