Apparently I’m saving humanity in the preceding meme, even though I’ve been betting against AI for almost a decade. Either way, tomorrow, April 18 at 3 PM ET, I’m running a Substack livestream AMA on AI doom. Please craft your most challenging questions and advertise widely! Subscribers will get a join link a couple minutes beforehand.
P.S. This morning I’m speaking before the GMU Board of Visitors on their proposed plan to curtail our DEI (recently comically renamed “ACC”; who do they think they’re fooling?!). But GMU-AAUP plans to “PACK THE BOV to DEFEND DEI,” so perhaps I won’t get a word in edgewise. Either way, I’m happy to take a few bonus questions on this topic during tomorrow’s AMA.

Do you view AIs as an independent actor or a tool? What kind of evidence would make you tend to flip that viewpoint? How important is that distinction towards your view of the likelihood of some flavor of AI-driven Doom?
