Nikola Danaylov interviewed Noam Chomsky on his Singularity 1 on 1 podcast.

Chomsky is smart, but in discussing the future of AI, he is stuck on something -- he never quite steps up to answer the questions.

Can someone figure out the nature of Chomsky's mental block? What is he missing here?

I think his problem is he assumes an AI has to closely resemble a human mind to be powerful enough to be dangerous.

Is there a transcript of the interview somewhere? The youtube auto-generated one mangles Chomsky's replies horribly.
