Writing Doom: Artificial Super Intelligence?

Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy

Send us a text

Join us for a fascinating dive into the world of artificial superintelligence through the unique lens of a TV writers' room! In this episode, we explore how a group of writers grappling with AI for their show stumbled upon the same profound questions that leading AI researchers face today.
From the nature of superintelligence to the challenges of alignment, we discuss what happens when machines become smarter than humans—and how we might shape that future. It's a warm, thought-provoking conversation that turns complex concepts into accessible insights, sprinkled with analogies about chess players, ants, and five-year-olds running corporations.
Whether you're an AI enthusiast or just curious about where technology is headed, this episode offers a fresh perspective on one of humanity's most important challenges.

This is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy

Independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter. Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.

Thanks for listening today!

Four recurring narratives underlie every episode: boundary dissolution, adaptive complexity, embodied knowledge, and quantum-like uncertainty. These aren’t just philosophical musings but frameworks for understanding our modern world.
