Socialism With AI Characteristics | ASI Pill EP253 (Alex on Demis, AGI, humanoids)

Alex Wissner-Gross on EP253 (the Demis Hassabis episode): AGI quietly arrived in summer 2020 and we missed it. Humanoid robots will outnumber humans by the end of the 2030s. By 2040 we get trillions of Drexlerian nanorobots in the solar system. Russian cosmism resurrection, longevity escape velocity by the early 2030s, the digital twin you don't actually want, and why we are merging with the machines.

The ASI Pill takes the exponential and hyperbolic curves seriously and follows them to their brainfuck conclusions. AGI is here. ASI before 2030. This pod extracts and amplifies Alex's signal from the moonshot pod with Peter, Salim, and Dave.
