The AI Debate: Accelerationists vs. Doomers with Andy Mills

Welcome to the first full video episode of Suspension of the Rules!
Hosts Isaac Saul, Kmele Foster, and Ari Weitzman sit down with Andy Mills — Editor in Chief at Longview and one of the most acclaimed creators in modern podcasting — for a deep conversation about the future of artificial intelligence, the race toward AGI, and the massive societal, political, and ethical questions AI is already raising.

In this wide-ranging interview, the group breaks down:

• The real potential of AGI and how close we may be
• Competing visions for how AI should develop
• The risks, benefits, and existential dilemmas AI forces us to confront
• What AI means for journalism, media, and democracy
• How technology may reshape global power structures

After the interview, Isaac, Ari, and Kmele dive into a fast-paced roundtable on today’s biggest news stories — including:

• Free speech laws in the U.S. vs. Europe
• New immigration policies and what they could mean for the country
• Rising geopolitical tensions involving Venezuela
• How political systems respond to rapid technological change

The episode wraps with The Airing of Grievances, where the hosts share personal, hilarious, and painfully relatable frustrations from the week.

If you’re interested in AI, politics, media analysis, free speech, immigration, or the intersection of tech and democracy, this episode offers an engaging, challenging, and thought-provoking discussion about the world we’re heading into.
