Dwarkesh’s interview with Sholto sounds well worth watching in full, but the segments you’ve highlighted and your analyses are very helpful on their own. Thanks for the time and thought you put into this comment!
Agreed that the interview is worth watching in full for those interested in the topic. I don’t think it answers your question in full detail, unless I’ve forgotten something they said—but it is evidence.
(Edit: Dwarkesh also posts full transcripts of his interviews to his website. They aren’t obviously machine-transcribed or anything, more like what you’d expect from a transcribed interview in a news publication. You’ll lose some body language/tone details from the video interview, but may be worth it for some people, since most can probably read the whole thing in less time than just watching the interview at normal speed.)
