Youtube comments of (@DwarkeshPatel).

  1. Hey everyone, I re-uploaded this episode because the original version described seppuku in a way that got it age restricted. US high schools already trust students to learn about kamikazes and seppuku. History contains some bad things! I don’t think Youtube endorses hiding this, and I hope they won't this time!

  2. I've been obsessed with what David Reich told me ever since we recorded. All this stuff is so fascinating. Really excited to put this one out :)

  3. For those asking where to get Sarah's books, I highly recommend both "The Wars for Asia, 1911–1949" https://www.amazon.com/Wars-Asia-1911-1949-S-Paine/dp/1107697476 and "The Japanese Empire: Grand Strategy from the Meiji Restoration to the Pacific War" https://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Empire-Strategy-Restoration-Pacific/dp/1107676169

  6. Unless you understand the history of oil, you cannot understand the rise of America, WW1, WW2, the Middle East, how Xi and Putin think, secular stagnation, and basically anything else that’s happened since 1860. It was a great honor to interview Daniel Yergin, the Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Prize. The Prize is the greatest history of oil ever written (which makes it the greatest history of the 20th century ever written). Enjoy!

  12. Had a blast discussing (and sometimes debating) Leopold's view of what the future is going to look like. If you want it straight from the source, you can get it here: https://situational-awareness.ai/ Highly highly recommend.

  13. The previous video was unfortunately age-restricted due to the discussion of seppuku. We've removed about a minute from this version, but you can still find the uncut version on all the other platforms!

  15. This is real journalism. Please, for the sake of students like me, continue to educate us on foreign policy topics that we know little about

  16. If you want to know more details about the research David Reich is discussing in this clip, check out his 2010 Nature paper, Reconstructing Indian Population History, a landmark study on India's genetic origin . https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2842210/ Dr. Reich is a geneticist at Harvard, and author of the book, "Who We Are and How We Got Here." We discuss his book and research in detail in our 2 hour conversation, which you can find here. https://youtu.be/Uj6skZIxPuI

As always, the most helpful thing you can do is just to share the podcast - send it to friends, group chats, Twitter, Reddit, forums, and wherever else men and women of fine taste congregate. To help pay the bills for my podcast, I'm turning on paid subscriptions on Substack No major content will be paywalled - please don't donate if you think twice before buying a cup of coffee But if you have the means & have enjoyed my podcast, I would appreciate your support 🙏 https://www.dwarkeshpatel.com/subscribe

  36. Please stop this series!!! You have good series like Atlas that actually make us better informed citizens. These are cheap attacks that alienate potential subscribers.

  39. In order to protect Gwern's anonymity, I proposed interviewing him in person, and having my friend Chris Painter voice over his words as this avatar after. This amused him enough that he agreed. Gwern is a pseudonymous researcher and writer. He was one of the first people to see LLM scaling coming. If you've read his blog, you know he's one of the most interesting polymathic thinkers alive.

  44. Had a blast shooting the shit with the boys. The problem with improv shooting the shit type convos like this is that you say things more provocatively than you really mean. I've been listening to the 80k podcast ever since I was in college. It brought many of the topics I regularly discuss on my podcast to my attention in the first place. That alone has made the 80k counterfactually really valuable to me. I also said that there is no Matt Levine for AI. There's a couple of super high-quality AI bloggers that I follow, and in some cases owe a lot of my alpha to. I meant to say that there's not one that is followed by the wider public. I was trying to say that somebody listening could aspire to fill that niche.

  70. I should clarify. 100 pages in advance of an interview, not all the time. About 3 hours for 100 pages. And I could not read anywhere close to that many technical pages in a day lol. I just write questions in sticky notes on pages and then consolidate them later on.
