        Is subscribing different to being a patreon member? Im a patreon member but apparently can't subscribe via the website without paying an additional monthly fee. Or am I missing something?

        There should be a link on the website near the bottom to log in if you're a Patreon subscriber

        No probs, I was a Patreon subscriber of Sam's until just recently and I remember the spot was hardish to find. :)

        As a subscriber & Patron, I would suggest making events like this and AMAs available to everyone after a short waiting period. Just an idea. Thanks!

        Great exchange. Particularly enjoyed the push back from Pinker on AI. Not because he is right (who has the definitive answer on that subject?) but because he was articulating positions that some less heard, for me anyway, interlocutors on the topic have taken. Still concerned.

        Steve you never addressed Jordan's call to voluntarily taking on hardhsips. You mentioned having a family and art on smart phones and asked what else could you want? Obviously more, since you are voluntarily taking on the challenge of helping humanity.

        At the end of hour 2:03 I'm glad or hope that @sapinker has convinced Sam to stop worrying about AI. Because listening to Sam's speculations about AI is a waste of my time and money.

        Even as a subscriber of your work I hope that after some period of time this video will be released for public viewing. I have many friends and family that I wish to share this with, as they need it dearly. In the meantime I will try to get them to subscribe.
