Everybody’s worried about the risks of AI. So we called up one of the most insightful writers we know on the subject: Zvi Mowshowitz. Zvi writes about AI and AI risks at his substack, Don’t Worry About the Vase. Zvi’s problem is this: How do we prevent artificial intelligence from killing everyone?
In this episode, Zvi explains:
- Why it’s often useful to anthropomorphize AI
- What this summer’s Hugging Face attack tells us about the nature of AI
- What increasing AI capability means for cybersecurity risk
- Whether and when we should pause AI development
- Why powerful pen-weight models may remove the last reliable points of control
