Following the episode with Mustafa, it would be great to interview the founders of leading AI labsâperhaps Dario (Anthropic) [again], Sam (OpenAI), or Demis (DeepMind). Or alternatively, the companies that invest /â support themâSundar (Google) or Satya (Microsoft).
It seems valuable to elicit their honest opinions[1] about âp(doom)â, timelines, whether they believe theyâve been net-positive for the world, etc.
I donât know, I feel like there are serious questions for these people to answer that theyâre probably not going to be drawn on unless in a particular arena (such as a US Senate hearing),[1] and otherwise interviewing these people further might not be that high value? Especially since Rob/âLuisa are very generous towards their guests![2]
There was a great interview with Dario recently by Dwarkesh, but even that to me was on the âsoftâ side of things. Like I still donât have a clear honest idea to me of, if you do truly think AIXR is high and AI Safety is so import, why you would want billions of dollars to create an AI 10x as capable as your current leading model
And even then it took Gary Marcus nudging the senators that Sam hadnât answered their question, and even then Sam white-lied it by saying he feared AI could cause âsignificant harmâ whereas he should have said âhuman extinctionâ
Btw which is not a bad thing if youâre reading Rob/âLuisa. <3 you both you have no idea how much value the podcast has given me over the last few years

I think one risk here is either:
a) not challenging them firmly enoughâlending them undue credibility /â legitimacy in the minds of listeners
b) challenging them too stronglyâreducing willingness to engage, less goodwill, etc
