Science, Technology & the Future | The 3 Body Problem Explored - Robin Hanson, Anders Sandberg & Joscha Bach @scfu | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 55 minutes ago.
The 3 Body Problem Explored: Cosmic Sociology, Longtermism & Existential Risk - round table discussion with three great minds: Robin Hanson, Anders Sandberg and Joscha Bach - moderated by Adam Ford (SciFuture) and James Hughes (IEET).
Some of the items discussed:
- How can narratives that keep people engaged avoid falling short of being realistic?
- In what ways is AI superintelligence kept of stage to allow a narrative that is familiar and easier to make sense of?
- Differences in moral perspectives - moral realism, existentialism and anti-realism
- Will values of advanced civilisations converge to a small number of possibilities, or will they vary greatly?
- How much will competition be the dominant dynamic in the future, compared to co-ordination?
- In a competitive dynamic, will defense or offense be the most dominant strategy?
Many thanks for tuning in!
