It's called the AI Doc or How I Became an Apocalypse Optimist.

An apocaloptimist.

An apocaloptimist.

Okay.

Yeah.

Which we can get into that.

The film is meant to create clarity about which future we're headed towards with AI.

And it includes...

three out of the five major AI CEOs in the film.

It includes all the AI optimists in the film.

It includes many of the AI risk folks in the film.

It includes the AI ethics folks in the room, but here's the problems right now, and we have to stop thinking about super intelligence.

It includes all those folks in one movie to try to synthesize a picture of what is the future that we're headed towards with AI.

And the reason why this film was catalyzed into existence, and we had a role in it behind the scenes,

is to create clarity about this anti-human future that we're headed towards.

What do you mean anti-human?

So let's dive into this.

So there's something in economics called the resource curse.

So think countries like Venezuela or Sudan, where you discover that that country is sitting on top of a really valuable resource like oil.

And then once a bunch of your GDP comes from oil and not from the labor or innovation or development of your people, you invest more in oil infrastructure and not investing in people.
