Given that hallucinations are an inherent limitation of AI and LLMs, what are the risks of granting them autonomous decision-making in high-stakes domains like medicine or the military, and does this mean humans must always supervise them, at least minimally?

What's your stance on Nick Bostrom's Superintelligence predictions? Are we heading for utopia, hell, or will we have the same 2% increase in the US economy as during the internet hype?

How does the common man weather this storm? Most people are weighed down with supporting others with 100% of their capacity and can’t invest a ton of time and money trying to do something with AI that will likely fail if they don’t already have a background in tech.

Will democracy and personal freedom survive the AI era or does AI concentrate power in the hands of government or corporations and usher our worse fears from cyber punk science fiction?

Kindly ask Konstantin Kisin why he does not refund payment for cancelled subscriptions. Unethical business practices are not what I would expect from Mr. Kisin.

Are there any features of the AI that have genuinely scared you? Is there anything about the AI currently in development that the general public should be frightened of?

We hear a lot about luxury beliefs nowadays, but is AI the ultimate luxury technology?

AI requires large amounts of energy, but we're now facing an Iran war that threatens global energy supplies. The war is based on different religions and culture clashing, which is one of the oldest stories in the world. Will human nature always outweigh and undermine technology?

The UK positions itself as a AI world leader and is apparently funneling funding into that to achieve this aim. Is that true from your perspective and can the UK achieve a world leading position in AI?

No shade against Triggernometry, but you (Dwarkesh) and Coleman Hughes seem to consistently ask the best questions of your guests, yet both of you are so young. What do you think explains this talent/skill at such a young age? Do you plan to interview Coleman or vice versa?

How do you seem to find such incredibled but under the radar historians/anthropologists? Sarah Paine obviously, but several others as well. Have you thought of organizing a panel of historians on a particular topic so that you might have them engage in a debate (e.g. Sarah Paine & Stephen Kotkin, or Joseph Henrich & Ada Palmer)?
