Moloch - The Deadly Force Driving Humanity To The Brink?

Social media addiction, AI arms races, and nuclear weapons -- all three are significant threats to humanity, and all three issues share a common cause: a force of game theory known as Moloch. Created by filmmaker Dagan Shani @DaganOnAI this short film explores the ideas of Scott Alexander, Daniel Schmachtenberger, and me (Liv Boeree). When Dagan approached me to see if I’d post his film direct to my channel, I couldn’t refuse! I think he’s done an excellent job of compiling the various arguments, so while I can’t take any credit for any of this piece, it is my pleasure to share it with you all, because its message is so incredibly important.
