Building a YouTube Empire: Secrets from Sean Cannell | Digital Social Hour #69

What happens when AI stops being a tool — and starts absorbing power?In this conversation from the AI4 Conference, Anthony Aguirre of the Future of Life Institute breaks down why the race toward AGI and superintelligence may be the most dangerous technological gamble humanity has ever taken. From algorithmic control of information and addiction-driven social media to AI lobbying governments and the real risk of human disempowerment, this episode goes far beyond sci-fi fear narratives and into real-world consequences already unfolding.We discuss why a six-month pause on AI development was proposed, why it didn’t happen, how governments are falling behind, and why “self-regulation” in a competitive AI arms race simply doesn’t work. This is not about stopping progress — it’s about changing direction before we lose control entirely.What You’ll Learn 👇🧠 Why AI systems already shape beliefs, behavior, and attention⚠️ The difference between AGI and superintelligence — and why it matters📉 How social media revealed AI’s unintended consequences🏛️ Why governments can’t keep up with AI companies💰 How power naturally concentrates around intelligent systems🧩 Why extinction isn’t the only risk — loss of agency is🛑 What must change before AI becomes uncontrollable🎙️ APPLY OR CONNECT👉 Apply to be on the podcast: https://www.digitalsocialhour.com/application📩 Business inquiries / sponsors: sean@digitalsocialhour.com👤 GUEST: Anthony Aguirre - https://www.instagram.com/futureoflifeinstitute/💼 SPONSORSQUINCE: https://quince.com/dsh🥗 Fuel your health with Viome: https://buy.viome.com/SEANUse code “Sean” at checkout for a discount!🎧 LISTEN ON🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/digital-social-hour/id1676846015🎵 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5Jn7LXarRlI8Hc0GtTn759📸 Sean Kelly Instagram: @seanmikekelly⚠️ DISCLAIMERThe views and opinions expressed by guests on Digital Social Hour are solely those of the individuals appearing on the podcast and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the host, Sean Kelly, or the Digital Social Hour team.While we encourage open and honest discussions, Sean Kelly is not legally responsible for any statements, claims, or opinions made by guests during the show.Listeners are encouraged to form their own opinions and seek professional advice where appropriate.
