What does Nassim Taleb think about existential risks and existential risk research? He sounds like a kind of person who might be interested in such things?
My guess is that he is worried about existential risks, but of the Black Swan type: risks that can't be predicted or theorized about far in advance.
He liked Bostrom's new institute dedicated to existential risks. He doesn't think AI is a ruin-style risk, saying it requires "risk vigilance" but isn't a ruin type risk yet, and that he would be willing to reconsider later.
He has his own risk initiative called the "Extreme risk initiative".
