Tomorrow, Francis and Konstantin are joined by exercise scientist and bodybuilder, Dr Mike Israetel, and evolutionary psychologist, Dr Geoffrey Miller. They are going to have a broad conversation around AI safety, AGI, medical and scientific innovation as well as the potential dangers of AI. Both are former guests and it is going to be a fascinating conversation.
Comment your questions for Mike and Geoffrey.
If you watch Triggernometry, you have heard Konstantin and Francis say it: “I looked this up on Venice.”
Venice is the AI we use to research the show and to fact check in episodes.
Most AI tools come with two catches. They tie everything you type to your account. And they lecture you when they don’t like the question.
Venice puts the best AI models in one place, without either catch:
Private. Your conversations aren’t tied to who you are, and Venice’s own models keep no record of them at all.
Unrestricted. Ask the awkward question. Get an answer, not a sermon.
Everything in one place. Text, images, video and code from the leading models, under one subscription.
If you think for yourself, your AI should let you.

Our biology is the only barrier to a brain-implant chip which would silently connect us all (to the Internet or to each other), and that barrier is under attack. Similarly, our minds are the last refuge of privacy, and this too is under attack; if the technical ability to read thoughts from afar is developed, what will preserve the mind as a final safe haven of dissent and independence from oversight by the ruling elites?
A.I. (mis)alignment has been discussed and is an obvious fatal flaw. But, supposing humanity is allowed to exist by AGI, is it plausible that Technology will not eventually intrude into us, providing unnaturally great powers (eyesight, hearing, stanina, memory, etc.) and thus cleaving our whole species into Haves and Have-Nots regarding technologically-delivered superpowers?
