Matt Turck interviews Ryan Greenblatt of Redwood Research about AI timelines, Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI), and AI alignment. Greenblatt suggests planning "as though it happens in 2029," emphasizing that superintelligence poses a "dangerous" threat rather than just "bad." The discussion covers the AI 2040 Plan A, the concept of "mutually assured compute destruction" with China, and a sobering year-by-year timeline from today to potential AI takeover.
