Confronting the Intelligence Curse, w/ Luke Drago of Workshop Labs, from the FLI Podcast
Luke Drago’s intelligence curse is an economic bargaining-power thesis: once AI produces work better, faster and cheaper, capital owners will rationally substitute machines for labor.The earliest signals may appear in 22-to-25-year-old employment, entry-level white-collar pipelines, job postings, income inequality and declining social mobility, while proprietary human know-how becomes a potential data moat and extraction target.Open models, tamper-resistant safeguards and user-loyal agents could limit monopoly rents, but shrinking labor-tax receipts and political leverage remain central risks through 2040.
What if Humans Weaponize Superintelligence, w/ Tom Davidson, from Future of Life Institute Podcast
Tom Davidson puts roughly a 10% probability on an AI-enabled coup in the US within 30 years, versus about 2% from political trends without AI.The phase shift comes when AI research, government, military forces, and labor can be fully automated, letting concentrated leaders bypass human checks; distributed, law-bound access and system integrity are key safeguards to monitor.
