269: Maeby's Basilisk (feat. Adam Becker)

On this very long (but in a good way) episode, we have a wonderful conversation with author and journalist Adam Becker (@adambecker.bsky.social) about his new book "More Everything Forever: AI Overlords, Space Empires, and Silicon Valley's Crusade to Control the Fate of Humanity." It's a wide-ranging discussion about that exact subtitle, The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect, terrible Harry Potter fanfiction, the writing process, and much more! Seriously, this is a good one. And Adam's book is excellent-- find it wherever books are sold! Check out our Patreon for ad-free and video episodes (and more!) at patreon.com/leightonnight.
