Asteroid movies probably made people more receptive to x-risk from cosmic collisions

maybe we need a movie about x-risk from misaligned AI? something like Ex Machina and/or Her but with more focus on consequences and less robots

It has come to my attention he’s on a sabbatical. That’s great, but his activity (tweets, podcasts) don’t suggest the level of detachment from engagement I was imagining

has EY considered taking a break? Like a really long (at least 1 year) vacation where he’s mostly disconnected from AI news and just the world im general. Maybe sail the world or something. Starting to seem like he has given up anyway. Maybe exiting the bubble a bit will allow for new hope (and ideas? motivation?) to form.

Probably not. I think I will just handpick which tweets I repost here. Plus some shortform exclusives maybe.
