I spoke with @romanyam, the top AI safety expert in the world. He literally coined the term “AI safety” about 15 years ago. Roman explained if AGI is here, what the real threat of AI is to humanity, how many jobs could be lost, why he is bullish on bitcoin, how physical AI & robotics will likely play out, and whether the frontier model labs actually care about AI safety. This was a profound conversation with someone everyone should get to know.
