  • Why Are Migrants Becoming AI Test Subjects? With Petra Molnar
    Jun 20 2024

    Climate change, political instability, hunger. These are just some of the forces behind an unprecedented refugee crisis that’s expected to include over a billion people by 2050. In response to this growing crisis, wealthy governments like the US and the EU are employing novel AI and surveillance technologies to slow the influx of migrants at their borders. But will this rollout stop at the border?

    In this episode, Tristan and Aza sit down with Petra Molnar to discuss how borders have become a proving ground for the sharpest edges of technology, and especially AI. Petra is an immigration lawyer and co-creator of the Migration and Technology Monitor. Her new book is “The Walls Have Eyes: Surviving Migration in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.”

  • Former OpenAI Engineer William Saunders on Silence, Safety, and the Right to Warn
    Jun 7 2024

    This week, a group of current and former employees from OpenAI and Google DeepMind penned an open letter accusing the industry’s leading companies of prioritizing profits over safety. This comes after a spate of high profile departures from OpenAI, including co-founder Ilya Sutskever and senior researcher Jan Leike, as well as reports that OpenAI has gone to great lengths to silence would-be whistleblowers.

    The writers of the open letter argue that researchers have a “right to warn” the public about AI risks and laid out a series of principles that would protect that right. In this episode, we sit down with one of those writers: William Saunders, who left his job as a research engineer at OpenAI in February. William is now breaking the silence on what he saw at OpenAI that compelled him to leave the company and to put his name to this letter.

I Wish This Was Played In Schools

Thinking back over the past ten years our lives have been consistently nudged by a small group of elite business people living on the west coast of Northern California. Driven by a need to maximize returns for capital investors and employee stockholders, these people stitched the disparate lives of citizens around the globe of many countries and states into expansive for-profit social networks. Now the threads tying billions of people into these social networks tug us in directions known and unknown, but primarily away from patience, presence, connection, and toward outrage, polarization and consumerism. While the effects of these trends on our individual and collective psychology have been rarely noticed and generally neglected until now, a growing movement has begun to pull back the curtain. We are angry with the manipulation, and intent on fixing it.

This podcast serially lays out in no uncertain terms the magnitude of the issue and possible paths forward. With guests who number among the most active and influential whistleblowers on this topic, it has become a comprehensive and inspiring guide to reclaiming our freedom in the digital space. Even beyond, it lays out various competing theories for constructing a socially, economically, and politically fair society that elevates human strengths instead of exploiting human weakness.

Parallel Learning Legislation

This analytical summary shifted my consciousness. This format is so helpful. We should name and characterize this presentation format. I THINK THIS IS THE METHOD TO ENABLE PARALLEL learning and legislation. Thank You, Ben
