2-hour #video #interview with Stuart Russell on #AI safety. #toread
#survivalists #video on how the authorities can requisition electrical generators, etc., in emergencies, so you should hide them. Also firearms (as in Katrina), medications (he suggests buying fish antibiotics) and medical supplies (like insulin, antibiotics, and analgesics), food and water, stored gasoline, propane tanks, battery banks, communication equipment, tools and hardware like chainsaws and water purification systems, and finally, preparedness information. Seems like a stock-footage filler video with an AI-slop script, so I’m not going to finish watching.
