I agree. That bit really scared me to be honest. While I don't think the atrocities you mention should be blamed on science (I think it's more about people using science and technology for ill purposes), I certainly don't think science is a safeguard against atrocities in any way at all. It's frankly a little astonishing to me how someone might come to that conclusion… 🤔

Great interview - thanks for sharing!

Sorry I found your guest belive that science and technology always lead to good a bit ahistorical. The main witch hunts period was 15th - 17th century, so after the Middle Ages and after discovery of printing press (which unfortunately enabled it). The scientific revolution occurred well before the emergence of Stalinism and Nazism and unfortunately enabled many of the atrocities. In the past technology and science was not always beneficial. All discoveries probably had good and bad consequences. I'm not saying your arguments are wrong, but if AI starts using counterfactuals to prove some argument we will say it hallucinated. 😀 Sorry

That laugh at the end 😁😆 thanks for trying to get those info On the serious note, if there is a ASI, wouldn't it also mean it could be able to model more efficient and precise biological and physical simulators? Sure some tests are still to be performed, but a lot could be anticipated
