I recently found a 2-hour interview with Mo Gawdat titled "EMERGENCY EPISODE: Ex-Google Officer Finally Speaks Out On The Dangers Of AI!" from 2 months ago. It has 6.5 million views which is 1 million more views than Sam Altman's interview on Lex Fridman.

I've only skimmed through it, but it seems that Gawdat frames AI developments as an emergency and is mainly concerned about potential misuse. 

I likely won't have time to actually listen to it for a while – but it seems pretty relevant for the AI Safety community to understand what kind of other extremely popular media narratives about dangers from AI exist.

Richard Neher and others created a tool to explore scenarios for hospital demand in your community:

It's still in early stages. Source: https://twitter.com/richardneher/status/1236980631789359104

Curious why this was retracted. Do you not think the tool is useful?

I wasn't sure whether it was the right place to post, as I myself didn't feel able to judge how useful it really is. Thus I didn't feel comfortable having it as a shortform post.
