From the latest Conversations with Tyler interview of Peter Thiel
I feel like Thiel misrepresents Bostrom here. He doesn’t really want a centralized world government or think that’s “a set of things that make sense and that are good”. He’s forced into world surveillance not because it’s good but because it’s the only alternative he sees to dangerous ASI being deployed.
I wouldn’t say he’s optimistic about human nature. In fact it’s almost the very opposite. He thinks that we’re doomed by our nature to create that which will destroy us.
