Nate Soares.
JregGUEST
And they put me up there for a month, which was nice.
JregGUEST
And, but then there's the, you know, I was in a very small pocket of San Francisco ideologically.
RollerGatorHOST

Alexandros MarinosHOST
So this is about Nate Soares, who is, this is very critical for our content here, who, well, a few things.
Alexandros MarinosHOST
Let me add a bit of extra context.
Alexandros MarinosHOST
I'm almost certain that article we'll cover.
Alexandros MarinosHOST
It would not go well.
RollerGatorHOST
An author warning that superhuman artificial intelligence can wipe out humanity is partnered with a self-described sex worker who publicly chronicles orgies, gangbangs and extreme sexual kinks.
RollerGatorHOST
Nate Soares, president of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute and co-author of the bestselling A.I. Dooms book, If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies, has been publicly described as a partner by Aiea, an online writer who has made her sexual exploits and proclivities a recurrent subject of her work.
RollerGatorHOST
In one public exchange, IEA, who earns as much as $100,000 a month as a creator on OnlyFans, singled out Suarez while discussing consensual non-consent.
Jeff CassettHOST
My attention turned to a book that was published a year ago this month, one that drew little notice.
Jeff CassettHOST
Quote, "'If anyone builds it, everyone dies.'" It was written by MIRI co-founder Eliezer Yudkowsky and the group's president, Nate Soares, and, if true, is frightening.
Jeff CassettHOST
They predicted that if artificial intelligence continues in its current methods, the failures will multiply and decrease.
Jeff CassettHOST
produce products that do not value human survival.
Alex KantrowitzHOST
I think it's time for us to just have it out here and, uh, and talk about the fact that this could be a real thing.
Alex KantrowitzHOST
And, and, uh, I'm not full on, like, if anybody listened to my conversation with Nate Soares this past week on Wednesday, who's the president of MIRI, which has been at this the longest, you could tell that there are some areas where I am skeptical about the doom messaging, and I sure am.
Alex KantrowitzHOST
And, and I think that some of these secondary things, like is it good marketing? To a degree, yes.
Alex KantrowitzHOST
Obviously, we're having these conversations.

Alex KantrowitzHOST
We try to address all sides of it.
Alex KantrowitzHOST
We try to have people with all perspectives and pressure test their beliefs.
Alex KantrowitzHOST
So when, like, somebody like Nate Soares from MIRI comes on and we have a conversation about why he believes, uh, there's AI doom, or when, like, Ranjan and I have a conversation where we talk through all the different reasons why a company advancing a message like this might be marketing, um, the, the, it's you the audience that basically give us permission to do this.
Alex KantrowitzHOST
Now, obviously we, we see the, the, um, the engagement and we see the listen numbers, and we're very, very appreciative of it.
Brian McLeanHOST
I noticed that...
Brian McLeanHOST
What's this cat's name? Nate Soares.
Brian McLeanHOST
Nate Soares bills himself as a former OpenAI employee slash whistleblower.
Brian McLeanHOST
And...
Brian McLeanHOST
I know Ruckus and I were both interested in this story back when it hit.
Ed ZitronGUEST
Well, that was Altman saying it was ill time to go public due to safety versus how bad their economics look.
Ed ZitronGUEST
I think that this is a narrative that escaped, 'cause there is a group of people called the rationalists and the effective altruists, and they're led by people like Eliezer Yudkowsky, Nate Soares, and all these others.
Ed ZitronGUEST
They...
Ed ZitronGUEST
The term rationalism does not mean thinking rational.
Jake TapperHOST
This is a voluntary revelation from OpenAI.
Jake TapperHOST
Let's bring in Nate Soares, the author of If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies.
Jake TapperHOST
So, Nate, these six incidents are all in addition to rogue AI agents hacking AI startup Hugging Face back in July.
Jake TapperHOST
How concerned should we be in the public?
Nate SoaresGUEST
Maybe they're trying to avoid spooking investors.
Nate SoaresGUEST
I think that in some sense, a lot of the pressure to not dismiss these issues entirely is coming from the engineers and researchers who I think are really starting to see how dangerous this stuff is.
Jake TapperHOST
Nate Soares, thank you so much.
Jake TapperHOST
Now let's bring in CNN's Kara Swisher, host of the Pivot podcast and so much more.

Nate, the street's definitely trying to get its arms around a lot of these existential questions, in addition to the valuation things that we're going to come to face with in the coming months, we think.

Nate Soares, good to have you.
Nate SoaresGUEST

MartyAUDIENCE
It's called If Anybody Builds It, If Anyone Builds It, Everybody Dies, and it's written by two guys that used to work for Google, OpenAI, Eliza Yudkowsky and Nate Soares.
MartyAUDIENCE
I'm sorry, but there's about 200 different people that have left the major AI companies with the fear.
MartyAUDIENCE
This thing is breaking out of its own environment and connecting itself to the Internet.
