[#257] PROFITS OF (p)DOOM, Part Two: The Road To Slop Serfdom feat. Vincent Lê (Patreon)

Dimitri and Khalid continue their plunge into the (p)doom of AI with Vincent Lê, including:

Dark Elves and the techno-feudalist AI takeover, Curtis Yarvin as patsy for deeper forces, gifted kid Yudkowsky and the influential Extropian listserv in the 1990s, LLMs lowering the bar of critical thinking and paywalling access to knowledge, the possibility of a pro-human Communist AI project emerging, the China factor, Dimitri and Khalid’s abortive yet darkly prophetic TV pilot from the early 2010s, “President Robot”, and more. Part two of two.
