4/ The bit that bothers me the most is his annoyance that social scientists won't speculate with him about "AI civilization" or whatever. My man, these refusals are *good*. Off-the-cuff remarks from authority figures influences policy, funding, and public anxiety. Caution was the right move.

1/ Right off the bat, he compares himself to Federer and says some of his guests are… a wall. Wild way to talk about people whose work your whole show depends on.
