Doom Debates — Doomer vs. Builder: AI Risk Clash with Devin Elliot
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
A razor-sharp clash over whether AI threatens human extinction or just demands better engineering — boiled down to 4 minutes from the original 1 hour. Host Liron Shapira and guest Devin Elliot (software engineer and retired pro snowboarder) spar over P(Doom), AI timelines, model capabilities, and governance. You'll get the core arguments: Liron’s precautionary stance on existential risk and centralized controls, versus Devin’s builder’s skepticism favoring distributed standards, robust engineering, and attention to failure modes. Learn the practical differences between raw model capabilities and the surrounding tooling, why non-determinism matters, and how debates about AI regulation, alignment, ethics, and geopolitics shape real-world outcomes. Ideal for listeners interested in artificial intelligence, AI regulation and job automation, and the ethics of technology. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
