Podcast Description
Every two week we surprise Chana with a new guest from the EA/rationalist-sphere and sometimes even the buttoned-up AI Safet– ahem– AI Security field.
Chana tells us how to live and think; Matt does all the work; occasionally a joke gets cracked; complaining is unceasing.

Every two weeks we surprise Chana with a new guest from the EA/rationalist-sphere and sometimes even the buttoned-up AI Safet– ahem– AI Security field.
Chana tells us how to live and think; Matt does all the work; occasionally a joke gets cracked; complaining is unceasing.
Matt has a lousy AI & economics theory that goes nowhere, but we elegantly pivot to talking about human zoos, early internet scholarship, babies taking their first baths, and how important it is that we “take all the galaxies and do all the stuff.” Also, should we trade with ants?
Apologies for the audio (again) – Matt will do his pre-checks in the future to make sure the individual mics are working.
