#17 Fun Theory with Noah Topper
Friday, 8 November, 2024

The Fun Theory Sequence is one of Eliezer Yudkowsky's cheerier works, and considers questions such as 'how much fun is there in the universe?', 'are we having fun yet' and 'could we be having more fun?'. It tries to answer some of the philosophical quandries we might encounter when envisioning a post-AGI utopia. In this episode, I discussed Fun Theory with Noah Topper, who loyal listeners will remember from episode 7, in which we tackled EY's equally interesting but less fun essay, A List of Lethalities.
