On this week's show we rank our favorite Streaming Services. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: More than 25% of viewers aren't watching live TV anymore Tubi breaks the 100 million monthly active user mark Netflix to Introduce Live TV Channels in France NCIS: Tony & Ziva Sets September Premiere Date on Paramount+ Other: Panasonic DVD Recorders on ebay Panasonic DMR-EH75VS DVD recorder with 80GB hard drive and HiFi VCR, plus DVD video upconversion at Crutchfield The 10 Best DVD Recorders of 2025 (Reviews) - FindThisBest "It's Official: Streaming Is Now the King of TV The Definitive Streaming Service Ranking We received an email from a listener named Scott that pointed us to an article titled ”The Definitive Streaming Service Ranking”  written by Josh Rosenberg and published in Esquire magazine. In the article he ranks the top seven streaming services. We'll go through his picks from seven to one. And then we'll give our rankings.    7 Amazon Prime Video - The main criterion for ranking streaming services is whether they offer at least one new, worthwhile show each month. Prime Video falls short, as it doesn't consistently deliver high-quality new TV content. Instead, it focuses on being a hub for accessing other subscriptions, with shows like Reacher, Fallout, and The Boys feeling like bonuses for Amazon Prime's free shipping rather than a compelling reason to subscribe for streaming alone. 6 Peacock - Peacock is a top choice for reality-TV fans, offering Bravo's full lineup, including Real Housewives, Love Island USA, Below Deck, Top Chef, and Watch What Happens Live. It also hosts NBC's library with classics like The Office, Parks & Recreation, New Girl, Scrubs, and Law & Order, plus Yellowstone due to an exclusive deal. Its appeal lies in its sitcom and reality-TV vault, and it's the streaming home for the Olympics, though that's only every two years. Fans might find it worth a high price, though it's currently much less than $100 a month. 5 Disney/Hulu/ESPN+ - The Disney/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle is perceived as a single streaming service due to its long-standing integration, with Disney enhancing this by adding Hulu and ESPN+ tiles to the Disney+ home screen for seamless access. Each service offers unique strengths: Disney+ excels in Marvel, Star Wars, and children's content; Hulu features FX shows like The Bear and Shōgun, plus ABC's lineup, including Abbott Elementary; and ESPN+ remains a leader in live sports despite growing competition. Their combined appeal keeps them competitive, as they are stronger together than individually. 4 Netflix - Netflix benefits from long-term subscriber relationships, with users browsing its platform like they once did with cable TV. However, its content quality is declining, with more misses than hits. The upcoming conclusion of major shows like Squid Game and Stranger Things in 2025 could further challenge its ability to retain subscribers. 3 Paramount+ - Paramount+ benefits from Taylor Sheridan's popular shows like Yellowstone, Landman, and 1923, and its merger with Showtime has brought quality series such as MobLand and Yellowjackets. However, the streaming service struggles to justify its subscription cost as essential, with its success hinging on the delivery of Sheridan's planned spin-off universe. 2 Apple TV+ - Apple TV+ has significantly improved its content in 2025, with successful shows like Severance season 2, The Studio (Seth Rogen), Your Friends and Neighbors (Jon Hamm), and Stick (Owen Wilson). Previously, subscribing only for specific shows was advisable, but now, due to consistent high-quality releases with A-list talent, keeping the subscription active is recommended. If this trend continues, Apple TV+ will remain a strong competitor in the streaming market. 1 HBO Max - HBO tops the power ranking due to its consistent delivery of high-quality TV shows that justify the subscription cost. With a business model focused on quality since its launch over 50 years ago, HBO has aired acclaimed series like The Pitt, The White Lotus, The Last of Us, The Rehearsal, and Hacks in the first half of 2025. Its extensive library includes some of the greatest shows and movies, such as Goodfellas. While Netflix prioritizes quantity, HBO Max excels in quality.

I'm psyched to have @michiganrattlers on the show this week!! Friends from childhood, Graham Young, Adam Reed, Christian Wilder and Tony Audia all grew up together in Petosky, Michigan playing music, and dreaming of taking it out on the road. Now over a decade of touring later, they're on their third studio album, Waving From A Sea, and are known for deep lyricism, a rich sonic quality, and a killer live show. This latest effort is produced by @dominicjohndavis (Jack White, Greensky Bluegrass, Willie Nelson) and represents a turning point in Michigan Rattlers young career.I was happy to have the entire band on the show and we talk about their early development and long days spent on the road. We also discuss what it means to be “of a place and time” and still be together doing what they love.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Conditional Trees: Generating Informative Forecasting Questions (FRI) -- AI Risk Case Study, published by Forecasting Research Institute on August 13, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Authors of linked report: Tegan McCaslin, Josh Rosenberg, Ezra Karger, Avital Morris, Molly Hickman, Otto Kuusela, Sam Glover, Zach Jacobs, Phil Tetlock[1] Today, the Forecasting Research Institute (FRI), released "Conditional Trees: A Method for Generating Informative Questions about Complex Topics," which discusses the results of a case study in using conditional trees to generate informative questions about AI risk. In this post, we provide a brief overview of the methods, findings, and directions for further research. For much more analysis and discussion, see the full report: https://forecastingresearch.org/s/AIConditionalTrees.pdf Abstract We test a new process for generating high-value forecasting questions: asking experts to produce "conditional trees," simplified Bayesian networks of quantifiably informative forecasting questions. We test this technique in the context of the current debate about risks from AI. We conduct structured interviews with 21 AI domain experts and 3 highly skilled generalist forecasters ("superforecasters") to generate 75 forecasting questions that would cause participants to significantly update their views about AI risk. We elicit the "Value of Information" (VOI) each question provides for a far-future outcome - whether AI will cause human extinction by 2100 - by collecting conditional forecasts from superforecasters (n=8).[2] In a comparison with the highest-engagement AI questions on two forecasting platforms, the average conditional trees-generated question resolving in 2030 was nine times more informative than the comparison AI-related platform questions (p = .025). This report provides initial evidence that structured interviews of experts focused on generating informative cruxes can produce higher-VOI questions than status quo methods. Executive Summary From May 2022 to October 2023, the Forecasting Research Institute (FRI) (a)[3] experimented with a new method of question generation ("conditional trees"). While the questions elicited in this case study focus on potential risks from advanced AI, the processes we present can be used to generate valuable questions across fields where forecasting can help decision-makers navigate complex, long-term uncertainties. Methods Researchers interviewed 24 participants, including 21 AI and existential risk experts and three highly skilled generalist forecasters ("superforecasters"). We first asked participants to provide their personal forecast of the probability of AI-related extinction by 2100 (the "ultimate question" for this exercise).[4] We then asked participants to identify plausible[5] indicator events that would significantly shift their estimates of the probability of the ultimate question. Following the interviews, we converted these indicators into 75 objectively resolvable forecasting questions. We asked superforecasters (n=8) to provide forecasts on each of these 75 questions (the "AICT" questions), and forecasts on how their beliefs about AI risk would update if each of these questions resolved positively or negatively. We quantitatively ranked the resulting indicators by Value of Information (VOI), a measure of how much each indicator caused superforecasters to update their beliefs about long-run AI risk. To evaluate the informativeness of the conditional trees method relative to widely discussed indicators, we assess a subset of these questions using a standardized version of VOI, comparing them to popular AI questions on existing forecasting platforms (the "status quo" questions). The status quo questions were selected from two popular forecasting platforms by identifying the highest-...

The discussion uncovers the nontraditional news sources and the 'always on' media engagement that characterize Gen Z's unique media landscape. Josh shares his insights on how brands can tap into these behaviors to make a meaningful impact on a generation that is reshaping the rules of engagement.Fred and Josh discuss how the concept of "prime time" has evolved into a continuous phenomenon for this generation, with many waking up and immediately reaching for their phones. And they reflect on the rise of the "recommendation generation," where influencers and peers hold significant sway over brand perceptions. From the importance of trend-responsive content to the creation of 'writer's rooms' for monitoring platform trends, Josh emphasizes the need for agility in content creation.For the complete study and more on media and how to reach Gen Z, visit the Day One Agency website at https://d1a.com/perspective.

The "concerned" participants (all of whom were domain experts) predicted a 20% chance of an AI-caused existential catastrophe by 2100, while the "skeptical" group (mainly "superforecasters") predicted a 0.12% chance. Participants worked together to find the strongest near-term cruxes: forecasting questions resolving by 2030 that would lead to the largest change in their beliefs (in expectation) about the risk of existential catastrophe by 2100. Neither the concerned nor the skeptics substantially updated toward the other's views during our study, though one of the top short-term cruxes we identified is expected to close the gap in beliefs about AI existential catastrophe by about 5%: approximately 1 percentage point out of the roughly 20 percentage point gap in existential catastrophe forecasts. We find greater agreement about a broader set of risks from AI over the next thousand years: the two groups gave median forecasts of 30% (skeptics) and 40% (concerned) that AI will have severe negative effects on humanity by causing major declines in population, very low self-reported well-being, or extinction. Extended Executive Summary In July 2023, we released our Existential Risk Persuasion Tournament (XPT) report, which identified large disagreements between domain experts and generalist forecasters about key risks to humanity (Karger et al. 2023). This new project - a structured adversarial collaboration run in April and May 2023 - is a follow-up to the XPT focused on better understanding the drivers of disagreement about AI risk. Methods We recruited participants to join "AI skeptic" (n=11) and "AI concerned" (n=11) groups that disagree strongly about the probability that AI will cause an existential catastrophe by 2100.[2] The skeptic group included nine superforecasters and two domain experts. The concerned group consisted of domain experts referred to us by staff members at Open Philanthropy (the funder of this project) and the broader Effective Altruism community. Participants spent 8 weeks (skeptic median: 80 hours of work on the project; concerned median: 31 hours) reading background materials, developing forecasts, and engaging in online discussion and video calls. We asked participants to work toward a better understanding of their sources of agreement and disagreement, and to propose and investigate "cruxes": short-term indicators, usually resolving by 2030, that would cause the largest updates in expectation to each group's view on the probability of existential catastrophe due to AI by 2100. Results: What drives (and doesn't drive) disagreement over AI risk At the beginning of the project, the median "skeptic" forecasted a 0.10% chance of existential catastrophe due to AI by 2100, and the median "concerned" participant forecasted a 25% chance. By the end, these numbers were 0.12% and 20% respectively, though many participants did not attribute their updates to a...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: XPT forecasts on (some) Direct Approach model inputs, published by Forecasting Research Institute on August 21, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This post was co-authored by the Forecasting Research Institute and Rose Hadshar. Thanks to Josh Rosenberg for managing this work, Zachary Jacobs and Molly Hickman for the underlying data analysis, Kayla Gamin for fact-checking and copy-editing, and the whole FRI XPT team for all their work on this project. Special thanks to staff at Epoch for their feedback and advice. Summary Superforecaster and expert forecasts from the Existential Risk Persuasion Tournament (XPT) differ substantially from Epoch's default Direct Approach model inputs on algorithmic progress and investment: InputEpoch (default)XPT superforecasterXPT expertNotesBaseline growth rate in algorithmic progress (OOM/year)0.21-0.650.09-0.20.15-0.23Current spending ($, millions)$60$35$60Yearly growth in spending (%)34%-91.4%6.40%-11%5.7%-19.5% Epoch: 80% confidence interval (CI) XPT: 90% CI, based on 2024-2030 forecasts Epoch: 2023 estimate XPT: 2024 median forecast Epoch: 80% CI XPT: 90% CI, based on 2024-2050 forecasts Note that there are no XPT forecasts relating to other inputs to the Direct Approach model, most notably the compute requirements parameters. Taking the Direct Approach model as given and using relevant XPT forecasts as inputs where possible leads to substantial differences in model output: OutputEpoch default inputsXPT superforecaster inputsXPT expert inputsMedian TAI arrival yearProbability of TAI by 2050Probability of TAI by 2070Probability of TAI by 2100 2036 2065 2052 70% 38% 49% 76% 53% 65% 80% 66% 74% Note that regeneration affects model outputs, so these results can't be replicated directly, and the TAI probabilities presented here differ slightly from those in Epoch's blog post. Figures given here are the average of 5 regenerations. Epoch is drawing on recent research which was not available at the time the XPT forecasters made their forecasts (the XPT closed in October 2022). Most of the difference in outputs comes down to differences in forecasts on baseline growth rate in algorithmic progress and yearly growth in spending, where XPT forecasts differ radically from the Epoch default inputs (which extrapolate historical trends). XPT forecasters' all-things-considered transformative artificial intelligence (TAI) timelines are much longer than those which the Direct Approach model outputs using XPT inputs: Source of 2070 forecastXPT superforecasterXPT expertDirect Approach model53%65%XPT postmortem survey question on probability of TAI by 20703.75%16% If you buy the assumptions of the Direct Approach model, and XPT forecasts on relevant inputs, this pushes timelines out by two to three decades compared with the default Epoch inputs. However, it still implies TAI by 2070. It seems very likely that XPT forecasters would not buy the assumptions of the Direct Approach model: their explicitly stated probabilities on TAI by 2070 are

This is: How much is reducing catastrophic and extinction risk worth, assuming XPT forecasts?, published by rosehadshar on July 25, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This is a post I drafted some months ago, in the course of analysing some XPT data and reading Shulman and Thornley. It's not very sophisticated, I haven't checked the workings, and I haven't polished the language; but I'm posting anyway because that seems better than not posting. Note that it's a personal take and doesn't represent FRI's views. Thanks to Josh Rosenberg at FRI and Elliot Thornley for help and comments. BLUF: if you make a bunch of assumptions, then even quite low absolute risk forecasts like the XPT ones imply quite high spending on reducing GCRs, conditional on there being sufficiently cost-effective ways to do so. In 2022, what has become the Forecasting Research Institute ran the Existential Risk Persuasion Tournament (XPT). Over 200 forecasters, including superforecasters and domain experts, spent 4 months making forecasts on various questions related to existential and catastrophic risk.

This post was co-authored by the Forecasting Research Institute and Rose Hadshar. Thanks to Josh Rosenberg for managing this work, Zachary Jacobs and Molly Hickman for the underlying data analysis, Coralie Consigny and Bridget Williams for fact-checking and copy-editing, the whole FRI XPT team for all their work on this project, and our external reviewers. In 2022, the Forecasting Research Institute (FRI) ran the Existential Risk Persuasion Tournament (XPT). From June through October 2022, 169 forecasters, including 80 superforecasters and 89 experts, developed forecasts on various questions related to existential and catastrophic risk. Forecasters moved through a four-stage deliberative process that was designed to incentivize them not only to make accurate predictions but also to provide persuasive rationales that boosted the predictive accuracy of others' forecasts. Forecasters stopped updating their forecasts on 31st October 2022, and are not currently updating on an ongoing basis. FRI plans to run future iterations of the tournament, and open up the questions more broadly for other forecasters. You can see the overall results of the XPT here. Some of the questions were related to AI risk. This post: Sets out the XPT forecasts on AI risk, and puts them in context. Lays out the arguments given in the XPT for and against these forecasts. Offers some thoughts on what these forecasts and arguments show us about AI risk. TL;DR XPT superforecasters predicted that catastrophic and extinction risk from AI by 2030 is very low (0.01% catastrophic risk and 0.0001% extinction risk). XPT superforecasters predicted that catastrophic risk from nuclear weapons by 2100 is almost twice as likely as catastrophic risk from AI by 2100 (4% vs 2.13%). XPT superforecasters predicted that extinction risk from AI by 2050 and 2100 is roughly an order of magnitude larger than extinction risk from nuclear, which in turn is an order of magnitude larger than non-anthropogenic extinction risk (see here for details). XPT superforecasters more than quadruple their forecasts for AI extinction risk by 2100 if conditioned on AGI or TAI by 2070 (see here for details). XPT domain experts predicted that AI extinction risk by 2100 is far greater than XPT superforecasters do (3% for domain experts, and 0.38% for superforecasters by 2100). Although XPT superforecasters and experts disagreed substantially about AI risk, both superforecasters and experts still prioritized AI as an area for marginal resource allocation (see here for details). It's unclear how accurate these forecasts will prove, particularly as superforecasters have not been evaluated on this timeframe before. The forecasts In the table below, we present forecasts from the following groups: Superforecasters: median forecast across superforecasters in the XPT. Domain experts: median forecasts across all AI experts in the XPT. (See our discussion of aggregation choices (pp. 20-22) for why we focus on medians.)

EA - Why I don't agree with HLI's estimate of household spillovers from therapy by JamesSnowden

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Why I don't agree with HLI's estimate of household spillovers from therapy, published by JamesSnowden on February 24, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary In its cost-effectiveness estimate of StrongMinds, Happier Lives Institute (HLI) estimates that most of the benefits accrue not to the women who receive therapy, but to household members. According to HLI's estimates, each household member benefits from the intervention ~50% as much as the person receiving therapy. Because there are ~5 non-recipient household members per treated person, this estimate increases the cost-effectiveness estimate by ~250%. i.e. ~70-80% of the benefits of therapy accrue to household members, rather than the program participant. I don't think the existing evidence justifies HLI's estimate of 50% household spillovers. My main disagreements are: Two of the three RCTs HLI relies on to estimate spillovers are on interventions specifically intended to benefit household members (unlike StrongMinds' program, which targets women and adolescents living with depression). Those RCTs only measure the wellbeing of a subset of household members most likely to benefit from the intervention. The results of the third RCT are inconsistent with HLI's estimate. I'd guess the spillover benefit to other household members is more likely to be in the 5-25% range (though this is speculative). That reduces the estimated cost-effectiveness of StrongMinds from 9x to 3-6x cash transfers, which would be below GiveWell's funding bar of 10x. Caveat in footnote. I think I also disagree with other parts of HLI's analysis (including how worried to be about reporting bias; the costs of StrongMinds' program; and the point on a life satisfaction scale that's morally equivalent to death). I'd guess, though I'm not certain, that more careful consideration of each of these would reduce StrongMinds' cost-effectiveness estimate further relative to other opportunities. But I'm going to focus on spillovers in this post because I think it makes the most difference to the bottom line, represents the clearest issue to me, and has received relatively little attention in other critiques. For context: I wrote the first version of Founders Pledge's mental health report in 2017 and gave feedback on an early draft of HLI's report on household spillovers. I've spent 5-10 hours digging into the question of household spillovers from therapy specifically. I work at Open Philanthropy but wrote this post in a personal capacity. I'm reasonably confident the main critiques in this post are right, but much less confident in what the true magnitude of household spillovers is. I admire the work StrongMinds is doing and I'm grateful to HLI for their expansive literature reviews and analysis on this question. Thank you to Joel McGuire, Akhil Bansal, Isabel Arjmand, Alex Cohen, Sjir Hoeijmakers, Josh Rosenberg, and Matt Lerner for their insightful comments. They don't necessarily endorse the conclusions of this post. 0. How HLI estimates the household spillover rate of therapy HLI estimates household spillovers of therapy on the basis of the three RCTs on therapy which collected data on the subjective wellbeing of some of the household members of program participants: Mutamba et al. (2018), Swartz et al. (2008), Kemp et al. (2009). Combining those RCTs in a meta-analysis, HLI estimates household spillover rates of 53% (see the forest plot below; 53% comes from dividing the average household member effect (0.35) by the average recipient effect (0.66)). HLI assumes StrongMinds' intervention will have a similar effect on household members. But, I don't think these three RCTs can be used to generate a reliable estimate for the spillovers of StrongMinds' program for three reasons. 1. Two of the three RCTs HLI relies on to estimate spillovers are on in...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Announcing the Forecasting Research Institute (we're hiring), published by Tegan on December 13, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The Forecasting Research Institute (FRI) is a new organization focused on advancing the science of forecasting for the public good. All decision-making implicitly relies on prediction, so improving prediction accuracy should lead to better decisions. And forecasting has shown early promise in the first-generation research conducted by FRI Chief Scientist Phil Tetlock and coauthors. But despite burgeoning popular interest in the practice of forecasting (especially among EAs), it has yet to realize its potential as a tool to inform decision-making. Early forecasting work focused on establishing a rigorous standard for accuracy, in experimental conditions chosen to provide the cleanest, most precise evidence possible about forecasting itself—a proof of concept, rather than a roadmap for using forecasting in real-world conditions. A great deal of work, both foundational and translational, is still needed to shape forecasting into a tool with practical value. That's why our team is pursuing a two-pronged strategy. One is foundational, aimed at filling in the gaps in the science of forecasting that represent critical barriers to some of the most important uses of forecasting—like how to handle low probability events, long-run and unobservable outcomes, or complex topics that cannot be captured in a single forecast. The other prong is translational, focused on adapting forecasting methods to practical purposes: increasing the decision-relevance of questions, using forecasting to map important disagreements, and identifying the contexts in which forecasting will be most useful. Over the next two years we plan to launch multiple research projects aimed at the key outstanding questions for forecasting. We will also analyze and report on our group's recently completed project, the Existential Risk Persuasion Tournament (XPT). This tournament brought together over 200 domain experts and highly skilled forecasters to explore, debate, and forecast potential threats to humanity in the next century, creating a wealth of rich data that our team is mining for forecasting and policy insights. In our upcoming projects, we'll be conducting large, high-powered studies on a new research platform, customized for the demands of forecasting research. We'll also work closely with selected organizations and policymakers to create forecasting tools informed by practical use-cases. Our planned projects include: Developing a forecasting proficiency test for quickly and cheaply identifying accurate forecasters Identifying leading indicators of increased risk to humanity from AI by building “AI-risk conditional trees” with the help of domain experts (overview of conditional trees here, pg. 13) Exploring ways of judging (and incentivizing) answers to unresolvable and far-future questions, such as reciprocal scoring Conducting “Epistemic Audits” to help organizations reduce uncertainty, identify action-relevant disagreement, and guide their decision processes. (For more on our research priorities, see here and here.) We're excited to begin FRI's work at such an auspicious time for the field of forecasting, with the many great projects, people and ideas that currently inhabit it—spanning the gamut from heavyweight organizations like Metaculus and GJI, to the numerous innovative projects run by small teams and individuals. This environment presents a wealth of opportunities for collaboration and cooperation, and we're looking forward to being a part of such a dynamic community. Our core team consists of Phil Tetlock, Michael Page, Josh Rosenberg, Ezra Karger, Tegan McCaslin, and Zachary Jacobs.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Nuclear Expert Comment on Samotsvety Nuclear Risk Forecast, published by Jhrosenberg on March 26, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The below comment was written by J. Peter Scoblic and edited by Josh Rosenberg. Peter is a senior fellow with the International Security Program at New America, where he researches strategic foresight, prediction, and the future of nuclear weapons. He has also served as deputy staff director of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, where he worked on approval of the New START agreement, and he is the author of U.S. vs. Them, an intellectual history of conservatism and nuclear strategy. I (Josh Rosenberg) am working with Phil Tetlock's research team on improving forecasting methods and practice, including through trying to facilitate increased dialogue between subject-matter experts and generalist forecasters. This post represents an example of what Daniel Kahneman has termed “adversarial collaboration.” So, despite some epistemic reluctance, Peter estimated the odds of nuclear war in an attempt to pinpoint areas of disagreement. We shared this forecast with the Samotsvety team in advance of posting to check for major errors and intend these comments in a supportive and collaborative spirit. Any remaining errors are our own. In the next couple of weeks, our research team plans to post an invitation to a new Hybrid Forecasting-Persuasion Tournament that we hope will lead to further collaboration like the below on other existential risk-related topics. If you'd like to express interest in participating in that tournament, please add your email here. Summary On March 10th, the Samotsvety forecasting team published a Forum post assessing the risk that a London resident would be killed in a nuclear strike “in light of the war in Ukraine and fears of nuclear escalation.” It recommended against evacuating major cities because the risk of nuclear death was extremely low. However, the reasoning behind the forecast was questionable. The following is intended as a constructive critique to improve the forecast quality of nuclear risk, heighten policymaker responsiveness to probabilistic predictions, and ultimately reduce the danger of nuclear war. By implication, it makes the case that greater subject matter expertise can benefit generalist forecasters—even well-calibrated ones. The key takeaways are: Because a nuclear war has never been fought, it is difficult to construct a baseline forecast from which to adjust in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Nuclear forecasting warrants greater epistemic humility than other subjects. The baseline forecast of U.S.-Russian nuclear conflict (absent Russia's invasion of Ukraine) is unstated, but it appears to rest, in part, on the debatable assertion that strategic stability between the United States and Russia has improved since the end of the Cold War when many developments suggest the opposite is true. The relatively low probability of London being struck with a nuclear weapon during a NATO/Russia nuclear war rests on the assumption that nuclear escalation can likely be controlled—one of the most persistent and highly contested subjects in nuclear strategy. In other words, the aggregate forecast takes a highly confident position on an open question. The forecast does not seem to account for U.S. and Russian doctrine concerning the targeting and employment of nuclear weapons. The forecast is overly optimistic about the ability to evacuate a major city. Taking all of the above into account, my forecast of nuclear risk in the current environment is an order of magnitude higher. But experts view nuclear forecasting with suspicion because the lack of historical analogy generates a high degree of uncertainty. Although providing a common measure of risk may be useful to the EA community, couching nucle...

Today's episode is a treat. Josh Rosenberg is a direct response copywriter who works differently than most. He's got more skills that most but the biggest one I've always picked up on is he sees "leverage" in places that few others can. After starting out hustling and overcoming poverty as a kid, Josh has seen and created opportunities for himself that only a tough upbringing will help you to see. This is a common experience talking with folks but Josh is on a whole other level. I really enjoyed this conversation. The biggest takeaway for me was seeing how this brilliant fella turned those skills into opportunities that anyone could go after and yet don't. And often times, as he'll show you...the bigger opportunities are easier to get once you know how to play the game. And he'll lay that all out for you to get bigger deals than you ever thought you could.

I met Josh Rosenberg in Las Vegas a few years ago at Mark Ling’s mastermind. We had a very animated conversation at dinner, and then all of us headed over to one of the wildest and most memorable parties of my life. It’s a fitting memory, because Josh takes a bold approach to copywriting and marketing, and he’s going to share some highlights today. Josh got into copywriting in 2008. He had a corporate job he hated. He learned copywriting and web marketing from the ground up, and as his career took off like a rocket, he became a much happier camper. But he’s about as unconventional as you get. For example, when he’s working on a piece of copy and he asks his friends to review it, if they tell him it’s “good,” he’ll tear it up and rewrite from scratch. He won’t actually start to use the copy until his friends stop complimenting him and start demanding to buy the product. Josh’s work has generated over $100 million for businesses in almost 60 industries. And he prides himself on getting paid far more than most other copywriters do. Here’s what I asked him: 1. Where do you find clients who can pay you top dollar for your work? 2. Okay, so now that you know where high paying clients what do you actually say and do in order to get their attention so they’ll agree to get on the phone with you? 3. With so much competition out there in industries like info products and eCommerce, how do you stand out from other copywriters? I’ve heard you comparing how clients pick which copywriter to hire very similarly to ordering a bottle of wine at a restaurant. Can you tell us what that means? 4. So you’ve set yourself apart from everyone else, got a potential client on the phone, what do you say when they ask about your rates? 5. I know you’re very proud of the fact you’ve figured out how to get paid upwards of $25,000 before you even get hired or are asked to do any work. I’m dying to know, how does this work?

First, returning guest from Episode 41, Comedian; Josh Rosenberg from the "World Famous Shit Show", www.worldfamousshitshow.com, stops by and won't leave. Rocco and Josh go "Head-to-Head" as "Joe Pesci, and Jew Pesci". Next, actor Chris Ready, from the TV series, "Unusual Suspects", pops by after almost getting assaulted in "Mr. Rocco's Neighborhood" just moments before. There are a bunch of kids in the audience this episode, as usual, and evidently one of their dads had some acting advice for Chris in the parking lot. Sarah Sunshine reminds Rocco, repeatedly that, "this is no place for kids". What else... oh yeah, Josh breaks the "HLN Hot Tub", it's revealed that Jurassic Jen is a Cheater, and you can join the cast for a game of, "Noun Sounds", where Rocco makes up the rules as he goes.

Built to Play sacrifices the news for another day! We're talking to our guests about Phoenix Wright, ZZT, and the future of E3. If you played something Japanese in the 2000s, chances are Alexander O. Smith translated it. Alex has translated everything from the Final Fantasy series, the novel All You Need is Kill, and the Dr. Slump manga. But here at Built to Play, there's really only one game in his long portfolio that matters: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. The game is a visual novel from Capcom and stars Phoenix Wright, a down on his luck lawyer living in Los Angeles, who has to solve all of his cases in only three days. It's a charming and often funny game that relies on its stellar translation, which is far from literal. Download Here. Subscribe on iTunes. Subscribe on Stitcher Radio.  While the translation stays true to the tone and the overall plot, the dialogue can be completely different. And it kind of has to be. The names are Japanese puns and the dialogue is filled with references to Japanese society. The punchlines often don't make a lick of sense in English. So Alex had a lot of room to write his own jokes, and play with the characters.  Though by changing so much, you often run into issues down the line. Gyakuten Saiban, the japanese name of the series, is set in Tokyo, which causes the brunt of the inconsistencies. A hamburger shop mentioned in the early games has to reappear as a noodle stand later on. That's a small issue, but consider that the designers recently decided that the newest game would star Phoenix's direct ancestor, a samurai living in late 19th century Japan.  **You can hear more from Alexander O. Smith's translation process, the definition of a perfect localization and how Phoenix Wright was almost Roger Wright,  less than a minute into the episode. ** Back in good old North America, we talked to the author of the new book in the Boss Fight Series, ZZT. Anna Anthropy tells us about the history of an internet community and its diversity.  1991's ZZT is a weird game to talk about. It's an adventure game built from ANSI characters, all numbers, letters and symbols. It had a limited color palette, and even more limited story. But that's not that part of ZZT people remember the most. ZZT attracted a large community because it came with a level editor and a simple programming language that let you make your own games out of the ZZT engine. These games would then be shared online on message boards and forums, and covered a wide variety of genres and topics. People continue to make ZZT games to this day, and the most recent copy  of ZZT was ordered from its creator, Tim Sweeney, back in 2013. Anna Anthropy writes about that community and how it inspired her own growth as a designer and a writer. She met people who had the same concerns as her, and just like her, were trans. She says it's like a predecessor to the feminist-minded Twine community, which encourages everyone of every creed to make games.  But ZZT attracted all sorts of people, from teenagers trying to discover their own identity to trolls who attacked other creators. So talking about people who make ZZT game can get a little complicated.  Anna Anthropy tells us all about the history of ZZT, why it matters, and reasons why you should check out ZZT games today starting at 17:00. By the way, Anna gave us a couple recommendations that didn't make it into the episode, but here's a few: Ned the Knight, Kudzu, and Eli's House. For more, she has a whole list of great ZZT games to play onher website. You can pick up her book at Boss Fight Series page.  Last month, no one could stop talking about E3, but that's not necessarily a good thing. Many have questioned whether E3 is lessening in importance, or if its actually bad for the industry as a whole.  We've had 20 Electronic Entertainment Expos since its start, and whether they've been in Las Vegas, Santa Monica or Los Angeles, it's almost always been one of the most anticipated game-related events of the year. But its relevance seems to be changing as the years go by. Most publishers had nothing concrete to announce at E3. Electronic Arts barely had games to show beyond the concept level. The two big press conferences, Sony's and Microsoft's, were milquetoast, especially as they announced the big new games of two years from now. Meanwhile Nintendo didn't have a press conference. They broadcasted Robot Chicken jokes and two new franchises over the internet.  So to check its value, we checked in with Daniel Kaszor, the editor of the Post Arcade at one of Canada's largest newspapers, the National Post. According to him, E3 probably won't be going anywhere, but with fewer big budget games coming out each year, the demographics are shifting. E3 isn't even the biggest show of its kind anymore. That would be Gamescom in Germany, where the public days attract hundreds of thousands. The E3 of five years from now might look very different from how we know it today. Daniel tells us about the Post Arcade's coverage of E3, and whether E3 is even all that beneficial to big publications starting 32:40. You can find the Post Arcade here. We also ran a short rerun of our interview with Nadine Lessio and Kara Stone from the Vector Game Arts Festival back in March. The game they talked about, Sext Adventure, is now out and available to everyone who wants to try it. What did we think about it: "As part of the Feb Fatale game jam, a 48-hour race to finish a game, they created a text adventure based on sexy phone texts. You contact an anonymous android who attempts to satisfy humans sexually, but instead lapses into existential depression. Our sex-positive reporter, Daniel Rosen, dug deep into the jam game, and discussed with Stone and Lessio society's intimate relationship with technology, the eventual disharmony routed in cyborg theory and dildos."  The tomfoolery starts around 44:40.   This week's music comes from the Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney soundtrack and the Free Music Archive. From the former, we used the song, "Pressing Pursuit -  Cornered Witness." From the Free Music Archive, we used "As Colorful as Ever" by Broke for Free, "Blue" by Podington Bear, "Hallon" by Christian Bjoerklund. **Special thanks to Josh Rosenberg who played Phoenix Wright, and Alexander O Smith who said Objection that one time. Capcom please don't sue us.  ** **As always, this weeks episode was produced and edited by Arman Aghbali and written by Daniel Rosen. **
