#06 - Programming and Philosophy, Technofeudalism w/ Adam Hanson and Jim Duffy Computer Science Pros

When setting out to produce Smol Der, my goal was to create at least 12 episodes in my first gambit and this is the halfway mark and so today I have a special treat for everyone listening because I’ve asked Jim Duffy from Episode 1 to come back as my co-host.

Jim as you may know is a delightful and intelligent developer with Hubspot and a personal friend and he and I talk with Adam Hanson, an automation expert with a background in philosophy and computer science.

In today’s episode Adam shares keen insight into how we should be responsibly deploying our technology and arranging society in a way that reduces exploitation and increases prosperity.

We also explore practical applications of AI and get Jim and Adam’s reaction to recent announcements by Open AI and researchers.
