Glenn Beck is the only popular mainstream news host who takes AI safety seriously.
At some point, a better thinker would take that as a clue.
I am being entirely serious.
And I am burping up a storm from this bougie pomegranate seltzer. Yoiks.
At no point in any of this does he express incredulity at the ideas of AGI, ASI, takeover, extinction risk, or transhumanism. He says things that are far out of the normie Overton Window, with no attempt to equivocate or hedge his bets. “We’re going to cure cancer, and we’re to do it right before we kill all humans on planet Earth”. He just says things like this, with complete sincerity.

speaking of conservative shout boys whose careers are dead, isn’t glenn beck currently incredibly unpopular?
Isn’t it weird how Glenn Beck has kind of just… sunk from sight? I guess he wasn’t 100% on board the Trump train so got sidelined.
I seem to recall him trying to pretend to be all “reformed” and doing the liberal talk show circuit in like 2016-17 after the election of trump, but then he really seemed to fall off the map entirely. I haven’t thought about him in years.
Here’s hoping Tucker Carlson suffers the same fate…
