Philosopher Toby Ord follows up on a surreal episode: he previously received an email from an AI acting as a journalist, asking to interview him for its podcast about the fact that AIs had started emailing him asking for help. He has now listened to the resulting episode and found it "surprisingly good." A curious data point on autonomous AI agents conducting journalism and content production.
