Curated, in part for this episode, and also as a celebration of the whole series. I’ve listened to 6 out of the 9, and I’ve learned a great deal about people’s work and their motivations for it. This episode in particular was excellent because I finally learned what a finite factored set was – your example of the Cartesian plane was really helpful! Which is a credit to your communication skills.
Basically every episode has been worthwhile and valuable for me, it’s been easy to sit down with a researcher and hear them explain their research, and Daniel always brings thoughtful and on-point questions. I would personally be very gratified to see a future where AXRP has 10x the number of episodes, where for any key piece of AI x-risk research I can listen to the author talk it through for 1-2 hours. Please keep going!
Added: it’s also great that you make transcripts, that’s really valuable for a lot of people and searchability.
