Podcast appearances and mentions of Huw Price

This week Izzo and Magnum discuss retrocausality aka reverse causation; can the future can influence the past? EPISODE 120 OF THE SWERVE PODCAST ↩️

The correspondence theory of truth is an incredibly popular philosophical theory, yet the pragmatist remains staunchly opposed to it. In this episode, I interview one of the leading contemporary pragmatists, Huw Price, to find out why. We'll discuss his take on the function of truth, and I'll argue that truth could only play the role Price thinks it does if it consists in correspondence to the facts. The story of this episode is roughly based on my paper, "The Practical Bearings of Truth as Correspondence" (2023).

Huw Price is the former Bertrand Russell Professor in the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge, and was before that Challis Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Centre for Time at the University of Sydney, and then—even before that—was Professor of Logic and Metaphysics at the University of Edinburgh. Huw is an expert across a wide variety of subdomains within the family of philosophy of science and physics, and in this episode he and Robinson discuss topics drawn from the philosophy of time, ranging from its flow and direction to its relationship to causation and quantum mechanics. Huw is also the author of Naturalism Without Mirrors and Time's Arrow and Archimedes' Point: New Directions for the Physics of Time. You can keep up with Huw on his website, prce.hu, and via his Twitter account, @HuwPriceAU.

Huw Price is an author, was the Bertrand Russell Professor of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge, and is the co-founder of the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk.During our conversation, Huw talks about meeting Jaan Tallinn of Skype, learning about lesser-known existential risks of artificial intelligence and catastrophic new biological threats, the founding of the Centre in 2012, what an existential threat is, a near-existential event in 1962, and what an average citizen can do to mitigate the probability of an extinction event.There is no more important subject than the prevention of our own annihilation and the continuation of the human story. It is harrowing to learn how close we have already come to ending human existence on Earth, and it behooves all of us to learn a bit about what our x-risks are and align our priorities, knowledge, wisdom, and resources to lessen its likelihood.------------Support this podcast via VenmoSupport this podcast via PayPalSupport this podcast on Patreon------------Show notesLeave a rating on SpotifyLeave a rating on Apple PodcastsFollow "Keep Talking" on social media and access all episodes------------(00:00) Introduction(02:47) Getting involved in x-risk(13:27) What is existential risk?(19:10) What would an existential event look like?(23:23) The x-risk of AI(26:40) The x-risk of biological threats(30:30) "The Precipice"(31:28) How Vasili Arkhipov likely saved humanity(37:28) The Future of Life Institute(40:35) The x-risk of nuclear weapons(44:12) The risks of climate change(50:55) 1 in 6 chance of human extinction this century(53:35) Is it unethical to have children?(1:00:28) Actions people can make to mitigate x-risk(1:02:14) Do x-risk issues cause Huw depression?(1:04:13) Should people become "preppers"?(1:06:40) Huw's advice to deal with x-risks(1:10:25) Leaders in the x-risk community(1:12:30) Advice for mindset and attitude(1:15:20) Sources of hope and optimism

Su trayectoria no dejó sonoros éxitos, pero sí pasajes musicales inolvidables. Ganaron el Murcia Joven en el 91, lo que les permitió grabar su primer disco bajo la órdenes de Ross; Alaska grabó con ellos, les produjo Huw Price (que trabajó con My Bloody Valentine) y actuaron en los festivales más destacados de la época. Se despidieron en el FIB de 1999 con una larga hoja de servicios y su contribución a la causa de la música independiente - no es pequeño el débito que tienen algunos grupos (Los Fresones Rebeldes, Vacaciones¿) con su música-.

What are human existential risks and why does Artificial Intelligence rank as one of the most menacing? At...

Huw Price, Vice President, Application Delivery, CA Technologies is our guest on this DevOps Chat. Huw and Alan Shimel discuss Automation. Specifically that automation for automation's sake alone is not always a good thing. Building the right automation is key. Organizations need to understand what and why they are automating something before investing in automating it. Huw will be discussing this topic further in an upcoming webinar on DevOps.com.

With the threat of climate change and damage to other elements of the biosphere, we may be in the process of creating a world where human existence is marginalised and modern civilisation is crushed. Even if we manage to cling to the more hospitable corners of this grave new world, nuclear war, bioterrorism or malicious use of nanotechnology or artificial intelligence could render human beings extinct. From the point of view of the universe, human existence doesn’t matter. Are we doomed to come round to this perspective ourselves, or will we inevitably cling to our human-centred picture of world?Rebecca Newberger Goldstein received her doctorate in philosophy from Princeton University. Her award-winning books include the novels The Mind-Body Problem and 36 Arguments for the Existence of God: A work of fiction, and her latest nonfiction effort, Plato at the Googleplex.Francesca Minerva is a philosopher and medical/bio ethicist. She is currently the Deputy Director of CAPPE Melbourne (Centre of Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics).Huw Price is the Bertrand Russell Professor of Philosophy at Cambridge University and co-founder of the Centre for Study of Existential Risk.

Looking into the future, we can see the possibility of severe occurrences that threaten human extinction. Until recently, we haven’t taken this seriously and are therefore putting the future of humanity at risk. When looking at existential risk, there is a difference between natural disasters such as asteroids and the human-created risks inherent in the rapid advancements of areas like artificial intelligence and nanotechnology. No one wants to stop science, but if we want to create a sustainable future, we need to understand these risks as fully as we can so that we can balance the benefits of scientific discovery and innovation and protect ourselves from existential risk.Huw Price is the Bertrand Russell Professor of Philosophy Cambridge and a co-founder of the Centre for Study of Existential Risk at the University of Cambridge.Jaan Tallinn is a founding engineer of Skype and Kazaa as well as co-founder of MetaMed, a personalized medical research company.

Effects can't precede their causes, can they? The direction of causation is forwards not backwards. But this common belief doesn't mesh with every aspect of contemporary physics. In this episode of the Philosophy Bites podcast Huw Price discusses the counterintuitive idea that retro-causation might occur. Philosophy Bites is made in association with the Institute of Philosophy.
