Thoughts on the Current Unpleasantness
Nick Frietas frequently leans a bit more into culture war stuff than I'd like, but he is a VERY smart guy. His military and legislative experience is both broad and deep, and he has a better understanding of the applicability of historical precedents than a lot of folks. I put a lot of stock in his analysis.
Malcom and Simone Collins are best known as pro-natalist influencers, but are more broadly a couple of epically crazy people who are rumored, by less epically crazy people to be vampires...no really.
I suspect that they are not.
They are highly autistic and rather more sanguine than I am about the likelihood of very good outcomes from A.G.I. They are also extremely smart, well informed, and entertaining. Their more worrisome, materialistic, almost Huxleyan views (which do not come out in this video) seems to be a product of their neurodivergence rather than malevolence and their analysis is quite analytical and thought provoking. I'm disturbed to agree with them more often than I don't and the worst people in the world seem to hate them, so at least give them a listen.
