He mainly used analogies from IABED. Off the top of my head I recall him talking about
predicting where the molecules go when you heat an ice cube
LLMs are grown; the companies aren’t building crops, they are building farm equipment that grows crops (I don’t remember this one from IABED)
we know ASI could build a self-replicating solar-powered factory because those already exist (i.e. grass)
leaded gasoline as a case study of scientists/companies making something bad and being in denial about it, even to their own detriment
many people thought nuclear war was inevitable, but it didn’t happen, largely because the people in charge would be personally harmed by it
