An Insider's Guide to AI Doom

The conversation surrounding AI harms has really heated up in recent weeks, but it's also at the same time become really confusing and hard to follow. There's many different groups involved. And it can be difficult to try to figure out who belongs to what group, what group believes what, how do they feel about each other. I don't know how you can follow the current AI discussions about harms if you do not understand this landscape. of different players.

So that's what I wanna help you figure out today. This is a short episode I'm gonna record. Where I'm gonna lay out the three major categories. of people involved in the AI harm debate.
