  • Why the Real Computer Revolution Never Happened | Alan Kay & Anjan Katta

    Why the Real Computer Revolution Never Happened | Alan Kay & Anjan Katta
    2025/07/15
    I'm thrilled to share this very special episode of The Generalist—one I've been looking forward to for a long time. Today, we tackle one of the most urgent questions of our time: What should computing look like in the age of AI?I'm joined by two extraordinary guests: Alan Kay, a pioneer of modern computing whose vision helped shape the personal computer revolution, and Anjan Katta, founder of Daylight, who's building a radically reimagined personal computer designed for deep thinking in our AI-saturated world. This conversation has been months in the making, and I couldn't be more excited to bring these two brilliant minds together.We explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping our relationship with computers, whether current computing paradigms serve us well as AI becomes ubiquitous, and what new models of human-computer interaction we might need to thrive alongside intelligent machines.This is a conversation about reclaiming agency in an age of algorithms—and imagining computing tools that amplify human intelligence rather than replace it. I think you're going to love it.We explore:• Why Alan believes the "computer revolution" commercialized in the wrong direction, missing the deeper humanistic vision of early computing pioneers• How the structure of information, from pagination to platforms, shapes the way we think• How Daylight is creating a reading and writing-focused device that helps access our "prefrontal cortex" rather than our "lizard brain"• The concept of a magical medium, and how computing might help us become our best selves• Why Marshall McLuhan's media theories predicted our current technological predicament decades before it happened• The critical difference between intelligence and wisdom in computing systems, and why wisdom should be our focus• How thoughtful constraints in computing design can lead to better thinking and more meaningful interaction• The urgency of developing systems thinking in a world facing complex challenges• And much more—Thank you to the partners who make this possibleAugment Code: AI coding assistant that pro engineering teams love.Brex: The banking solution for startups.Generalist+: Essential intelligence for modern investors and technologists.—Timestamps(00:00) Intro(05:17) The computer revolution we never got (and what we got instead)(11:45) The value of writing and the impact of the printing press(21:34) The addition of pagination and the evolution of arguments(24:53) Why Anjan calls his idealized version of computing a magical medium(29:00) Alan’s work at PARC and early conceptions of personal computing(32:02) Moore’s Law and the impact of reality TV(37:41) How Bob Barton and Marshall McLuhan influenced Alan(42:31) The problem with labels and what Anjan found surprising about Alan(46:02) How much help is too much help?(48:18) Marvin Minsky's military robot story and the history of misunderstanding AGI(51:50) What we need help with and why wisdom is hard to scale(54:19) How Daylight approaches computing with humility and thoughtful constraints(59:13) Alan's reflections on the Dynabook concept and personal computing vision(01:01:11) The timeline of building Daylight and the idealism behind the project(01:03:14) The urgent need for different thinking(01:06:40) A second shot at rebuilding computing from the ground up(01:11:57) Final meditations—Follow Alan KayLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alan-kay-12a627b/Quora: https://www.quora.com/profile/Alan-Kay-11—Follow Anjan KattaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anjan-katta-250b232b4/X: https://x.com/anjankatta—Resources and episode mentions: https://www.generalist.com/p/why-the-real-computer-revolution-never-happened—Production and marketing by penname.co.

  • Existential Risk and the Future of Humanity: Lessons from AI, Pandemics, and Nuclear Threats | Toby Ord (Author of "The Precipice")

    Existential Risk and the Future of Humanity: Lessons from AI, Pandemics, and Nuclear Threats | Toby Ord (Author of "The Precipice")
    2025/06/24
    How close are we to the end of humanity? Toby Ord, Senior Researcher at Oxford University’s AI Governance Initiative and author of The Precipice, argues that the odds of a civilization-ending catastrophe this century are roughly one in six. In this wide-ranging conversation, we unpack the risks that could end humanity’s story and explore why protecting future generations may be our greatest moral duty.We explore:• Why existential risk matters and what we owe the 10,000-plus generations who came before us• Why Toby believes we face a one-in-six chance of civilizational collapse this century• The four key types of AI risk: alignment failures, gradual disempowerment, AI-fueled coups, and AI-enabled weapons of mass destruction• Why racing dynamics between companies and nations amplify those risks, and how an AI treaty might help• How short-term incentives in democracies blind us to century-scale dangers, along with policy ideas to fix it• The lessons COVID should have taught us (but didn’t)• The hidden ways the nuclear threat has intensified as treaties lapse and geopolitical tensions rise• Concrete steps each of us can take today to steer humanity away from the brink—Transcript: https://www.generalist.com/p/existential-risk-and-the-future-of-humanity-toby-ord—This episode is brought to you by Brex: The banking solution for startups.—Timestamps(00:00) Intro(02:20) An explanation of existential risk, and the study of it(06:20) How Toby’s interest in global poverty sparked his founding of Giving What We Can(11:18) Why Toby chose to study under Derek Parfit at Oxford(14:40) Population ethics, and how Parfit’s philosophy looked ahead to future generations(19:05) An introduction to existential risk(22:40) Why we should care about the continued existence of humans(28:53) How fatherhood sparked Toby’s gratitude to his parents and previous generations(31:57) An explanation of how LLMs and agents work(40:10) The four types of AI risks(46:58) How humans justify bad choices: lessons from the Manhattan Project(51:29) A breakdown of the “unilateralist’s curse” and a case for an AI treaty(1:02:15) Covid’s impact on our understanding of pandemic risk(1:08:51) The shortcomings of our democracies and ways to combat our short-term focus(1:14:50) Final meditations—Follow Toby OrdWebsite: https://www.tobyord.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tobyordX: https://x.com/tobyordoxford?lang=enGiving What We Can: https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/—Resources and episode mentions—Books—• The Precipice: Existential Risk and the Future of Humanity: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0316484911• Reasons and Persons: https://www.amazon.com/Reasons-Persons-Derek-Parfit/dp/019824908X• Practical Ethics: https://www.amazon.com/Practical-Ethics-Peter-Singer/dp/052143971X—People—• Derek Parfit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Parfit• Carl Sagan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Sagan• Stuart Russell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_J._Russell—Other resources—• DeepMind: https://deepmind.google/• OpenAI: https://openai.com/• Manhattan Project: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Project• The Unilateralist’s Curse and the Case for a Principle of Conformity: https://nickbostrom.com/papers/unilateralist.pdf• The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), 1968: https://history.state.gov/milestones/1961-1968/npt• The Blitz: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blitz• Operation Warp Speed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Warp_Speed—Production and marketing by penname.co.
