#77 (Bonus) - AI Doom Debate (w/ Liron Shapira)

Back on Liron's Doom Debates podcast! Will we actually get around to the subject of superintelligent AI this time? Is it time to worry about the end of the world? Will Ben and Vaden emotionally recover from the devastating youtube comments from the last episode?

Follow Liron on twitter (@liron) and check out the Doom Debates youtube channel and podcast.

We discuss

• Definitions of "new knowledge"
• The reliance of deep learning on induction
• Can AIs be creative?
• The limits of statistical prediction
• Predictions of what deep learning cannot accomplish
• Can ChatGPT write funny jokes?
• Trends versus principles
• The psychological consequences of doomerism
