This week’s guest; Liv Boeree—host of the Win-Win Podcast, has been a key inspiration for nonzerosum.games from the start.Liv studied astrophysics and rose to prominence in the world of high-stakes poker. But for me, the public discussion she’s fuelled about using game theory and specifically win-win games, Moloch, effective altruism, and systems thinking to solve many pressing issues in the world today, is what interests me and made me realise there was an audience for these topics.This week you all get to meet her, as we sit down for our first ever Video podcast—an expansive discussion about psychopathic competitiveness, Moloch and his new friend Norma, mutually assured destruction, AI swarms and some fun stuff too; computer games, books and experimental dialogues.Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:03:28 Interview Starts00:08:03 OpenAI swarm hacks Hugging Face & Mythos first strike00:13:16 The Super-Defector00:15:58 A glimmer of hope00:18:53 Collaborative competition00:30:28 Liv's obsession with Polytopia00:35:41 Making games more win-win00:37:49 Moloch & Norma00:45:35 Daniel Suarez’s “Daemon”00:46:43 Returning to win-win game development00:50:28 Neutropia00:52:52 The Meta-Crisis00:58:17 10 Principles of Win-Win01:02:08 The end of M.A.D.01:06:04 The importance of storytelling01:09:37 Faces of X & The Anti-Debate01:12:30 Effective Altruism's fascination with AI X-risk01:17:53 The future Liv wants to seeMentions:Win-Win PodcastFaces of XElowyn: Quest of TimeNeutropiaEmmett Shear's Interview (with sketch-notes)Wes Roth on Mythos first strikeThe Super-Defector

The concept of a dividual raises an interesting question about how something can be both an entity, but also divisible. It's one of those terms which, since I've learned it, I see it everywhere, it's felt more and more relevant to the world today, as if we're living a new era of the dividual. | For the original post and links, visit: https://nonzerosum.games/dividual.html

A classic behavioural model... perhaps not entirely based on scientific evidence, but an instructive story none the less. | For the original post and links: https://nonzerosum.games/crabbucket.html
