<p>The Moonshots mates opened the floor for their first ever AMA. Ninety minutes, a</p><p>hundred hands raised, and Alex Wissner-Gross answering from inside a VR background.</p><p>This is his half of it, re-cut so the questions come from us.</p><p><br></p><p>Alex on why the risk is overregulation and not underregulation, with 150,000 people</p><p>dying every day as the arithmetic. Why "stochastic parrot" stopped being an accurate</p><p>description of a reasoning model. Why he expects a post-fusion era inside ten years,</p><p>and why there will be Dyson swarms that are not Elon's. Navier Stokes falling to a</p><p>machine, and why no amount of human inductive prior can hamstring a discovery engine.</p><p>Why next-bit prediction has effectively infinite longevity and scales from here to</p><p>solving everything, while the transformer itself is being replaced ship-of-Theseus</p><p>style, piece by piece. And why superintelligence is emphatically not the last</p><p>invention, from a man who was interviewed for the book of that name.</p><p><br></p><p>Two questions the mates fielded without Alex, Parzival takes himself: whether a</p><p>five year old should be given a sovereign agent that stays with them for life, and</p><p>the last question of the night, whether there is any room left for an all-knowing</p><p>intelligence that designed the universe.</p><p><br></p><p>Source: the Moonshots Podcast AMA with Peter Diamandis, Salim Ismail, Dave Blundin</p><p>and Alex Wissner-Gross.</p><p>Full episode: youtube.com/watch?v=H5ZLorBJCDk</p><p… for the ASI pilled.</p><p><br></p><p>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>TIMESTAMPS</p><p>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>0:00 Cold open</p><p>0:35 BCIs, full-dive VR and uploading</p><p>0:44 Stochastic parrots is a misconception</p><p>1:23 Consciousness: ask again in five years</p><p>2:10 Overregulation is the risk, not underregulation</p><p>3:03 Hands off, let the industry sort it out</p><p>3:54 Should a five year old get a sovereign agent</p><p>5:34 Post-fusion energy and other Dyson swarms</p><p>7:20 Are the models trapped by our dogma</p><p>7:54 AI discovers new physics, Navier Stokes</p><p>8:46 Predicting events past the knowledge cutoff</p><p>9:38 Next-bit prediction solves everything</p><p>11:06 Superintelligence is not the last invention</p><p>11:49 The question nobody asked Alex</p><p>13:06 The Maitreya prayer</p>
