The best Effective Altruism podcast is by @80000Hours. But I think a close second is @hearthisidea by @finmoorhouse and @lucafrighetti. They have interviewed @RoryStewartUK, @anderssandberg and countless other amazing guests. Here are the best take aways from my favourite…
Superb podcast with Joe Carlsmith coming back on his "Scheming AIs" November 2023 paper. Deceptive alignment, training performance, and why goals that extend beyond AI-systems training could lead to scheming 👏

Superb podcast with Joe Carlsmith coming back on his "Scheming AIs" November 2023 paper. Deceptive alignment, training performance, and why goals that extend beyond AI-systems training could lead to scheming 👏
→ Why might future AIs fake alignment in order to gain power? → Will 'schemers' perform better in training? → How might arguments about deceptive alignment be confused? Listen to @jkcarlsmith — hearthisidea.com/episodes/carls…

Revisiting Quine's 'Two Dogmas of Empiricism' today for teaching. V. weird article. Most of it is unconvincing, dry, technical, like a caricature of analytic philosophy. Then it transforms into a sweeping, radical - & plausible - vision of the human epistemic condition. Great 👍

@nemocentric Very fun! A bit different from J.S. Mill's speech that we ought to leave coal in the ground for future generations or Jevon's worry about imminent peak coal. x.com/willmacaskill/…
In 1886, John Stuart Mill gave a speech to Parliament about whether his generation should leave coal in the ground for the benefit of future generations. He referred to this as “The Coal Question”.
