Holly Elmore of Pause AI
<p>Art Keller speaks with Holly Elmore, the Executive Director of the AI safety non-profit Pause AI. We cover a lot of ground, from the disturbing AI scheming in the recent Apollo Research report-to the much more dubious and reprehensible scheming of AI *luminaries* such as Sam Altman and Yann LeCun. We also cover the politics of AI, how AI companies publicly beg for regulation while privately treating any attempt at even mild regulation as an affront, and the strange beliefs that infest Silicon Valley like nowhere else on earth! </p><p>If you’d like to hear more about PauseAI’s mission you can visit the <a target="_blank" href="https://discord.gg/TmpmYejE3e">Pause AI Discord</a>. You can follow their work on Twitter <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/PauseAI">@pauseaius</a>. We also touch on how, while the public overwhelmingly supports work on AI safety, AI safety orgs are battling to get the word out against the Silicon Valley venture capitalists with bankrolls in the $100s of billions. </p><p>If you’d like to help level that playing field, you can <a target="_blank" href="https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/donate-to-help-pause-ai">donate to PauseAI</a>. </p> <br/><br/>Get full access to The Technoskeptic Magazine at <a href="https://technoskeptic.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">technoskeptic.substack.com/subscribe</a>

Dr. Roman Yampolskiy on AI Safety
<p>Today we speak with Dr. Roman Yampolskiy. Dr Yampolskiy is a tenured Professor in the Department of Computer Engineering and Computer Science at the Speed School of Engineering at the University of Louisville, where he is the founder and current director of the Cyber Security Lab. Dr. Yampolski is an expert in AI safety and the author of many books including, “AI: Unexplainable, Unpredictable, Uncontrollable.” </p><p>We cover a lot of ground. Is Yann LeCun of Meta AI’s analogy of how to build safe AI valid? How can AI optimists can go on a podcast and admit Large Language Model AI is so insecure as to be “<a target="_blank" href="https://podbay.fm/p/1669813431/e/1711574700">exploitable by default</a>,” and yet be enthusiastic boosters of it? Is Gary Marcus right that the performance of LLM AI is topping out? We also touch on the tunnel vision in AI companies around AI risk. What is the role of Silicon Valley venture capitalists with a religious vision of AI and billions of dollars to push it, versus the beleaguered community pushing for AI safety work that goes past lip service?</p><p>There was a delay of some months between recording and releasing this episode, which is a long time in the world of AI. Some references may be slightly dated, e.g. when we talked about AI as a learning aid at the beginning of the podcast, the study that said <a target="_blank" href="https://edsource.org/updates/students-using-artificial-intelligence-did-worse-on-tests-experiment-shows">students that use AI do worse on tests</a> had not yet been released. </p> <br/><br/>Get full access to The Technoskeptic Magazine at <a href="https://technoskeptic.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">technoskeptic.substack.com/subscribe</a>

Tim Kasser Talks Materialism
<p></p><p>Tim Kasser spent over two decades studying the relationship between materialism and well-being and penned the highly cited book, <a target="_blank" href="https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262611978/the-high-price-of-materialism/">The High Price of Materialism</a>. Mo Lotman interviewed Kasser while he was still a professor at Knox College-Knox has since been promoted to Professor Emeritus and retired. </p><p>Professor Kasser and Mo discuss what types of values coincide with healthy relationships to ourselves and the environment. It is impossible to hear this podcast without thinking, “Do I<em> really </em>want to tether myself to a ‘delivery system’ that injects unhealthy values into every area of life?” Kasser also asks a crucial question about what is and is very deliberately<em> not </em>covered by the advertising-fueled media. </p><p></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to The Technoskeptic Magazine at <a href="https://technoskeptic.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">technoskeptic.substack.com/subscribe</a>
