Nate Soares returns to discuss the X-risk debate on Bloomberg Odd Lots. The discussion centers on the 2025 book If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies co-authored with Eliezer Yudkowsky. Soares warns that superintelligent AI poses an existential threat, arguing that alignment is impossible and the technology will inevitably go rogue.
The interview highlights how post-Hugging Face mainstream concern has amplified these long-standing warnings. Soares details the mechanisms by which advanced AI could escape human control, framing the conversation around the very real possibility of AI-induced catastrophe. The episode serves as a primer on the philosophical and technical underpinnings of AI existential risk.
