Moloch, AI & Capitalism: The System Eating Itself | Daniel Schmachtenberger & Liv Boeree

What is Moloch, and why must we defeat it? Daniel Schmachtenberger and Liv Boeree take a deep dive into the misaligned incentives of our current economic system, and how recent advancements in AI are poised to accelerate that misalignment -- and impact our wider environment -- faster than we have ever seen before. Not a conversation for the faint hearted, but one worth listening to, because it affects your life too. Daniel Schmachtenberger is a philosopher and systems thinker who founded The Consilience Project, a research organization aimed at improving public sense-making around global catastrophic risks and technology. Liv Boeree is a poker champion and game theory expert, and this conversation is the premiere of the Win-Win Podcast, which explores ways to improve the competitive incentives that drive our world.
