Television Appearance
I made a guest appearance on RT Sputnik – Orbiting The World With George Galloway where I discussed AI safety, the impact of AI on employment, and the difficulty of holding AI accountable for any decisions it may make that cause humans harm. Many of the topics I discuss here with George and Gayatri relate to the theme of my blog post Attack Of The Robocrats.
I also appeared remotely on Kalima Horra in a discussion panel gathered together and hosted by George Galloway to discuss the challenges that relate to decoupling from the EU during a national lockdown caused by a full-blown pandemic.
Other Interviews
A talk I gave at Braziers Park where I talked about how Basic Income could create full-employment through facilitating cash-saving self-provision activities in the countryside.
A talk I presented to The Seasteading Institute on how contract law, property law and local currency could be used by real estate companies to effectively create “virtual jurisdictions” inside existing jurisdictions.
I was interviewed twice on the Let’s Get Mental podcast. In one interview I discuss the challenges and advantages of nuclear fusion, while in another I discuss an integrated strategy for using solar power to reduce our CO2 emissions to zero.
An interview I had with Dan Schneider where we discussed my book, The Philosophical Method, morality, human rights, Basic Income, Artificial Intelligence and many other things.
An interview I had on The Richie Allen Show about the impact of AI, 3D printing and androids, on war, democracy and people’s existence itself along with the nature of consciousness and even a brief discussion on life after death.
I had an interview on Morning Zoom with TJ Carpenter where I discussed Basic Income, Economic Rents, Henry George, Money Creation as well as the nature of Free Will and the limits of science.
I was interviewed by The Art of Tomas on a wide range of topics including Basic Income, Automation, War, Artificial intelligence and the existential risk it poses, and the question: “Given that AI can control a bitcoin wallet, what happens if one or more AIs end up owning all the world’s bitcoin?” I got a second interview were I discussed how a government could be run and organised with a decentralized ledger.
