AXRP is the AI X-risk Research Podcast - found wherever podcasts are distributed, and transcripts available at axrp.net. So far, there have been 6 proper episodes of AXRP this year. Here is the download numbers for each one in the first 30 days, sorted by download count and without episode names attached:

  • 3,524

  • 2,420

  • 1,473

  • 1,249

  • 981

  • 959

Will any as-yet-unreleased episode of AXRP get >2,000 downloads this year?

Notes:

  • I'm asking about total downloads by the end of the year, not downloads in the first 30 days (altho most episodes get most of their downloads in that period).

  • I'm talking about IAB downloads, not raw downloads. The distinction is explained here, but tl;dr it's trying to filter out spam/fake downloads.

  • I am planning on releasing more episodes this year, but it's possible the pace will slow down as I work on my thesis.

Nope: out of those two, the max download number was 1,351.

predicted NO

Any recent data you can share with us @DanielFilan?

@chrisjbillington Out of the two most recent episodes, the max of the download numbers is 1336

How's it looking for your interview with Caspar?

@RobertCousineau Under 2k downloads.

predicted NO

@DanielFilan haha, by how much? I see on youtube it has 17% the views of your interview with Jan, so if I do very dumb extrapolation taking into account no where near the variables it should, I'd estimate it has ~600 downloads?

Also, do you have a list of expected guest for the rest of the year?

@RobertCousineau I don't want to be super specific but it's not very close to 2k downloads. I'd also dispute your calculation: all earlier episodes this year have >600 downloads, but one has fewer YouTube views than Caspar's episode.

No list of expected guests for the rest of the year, but I do hope to release one further episode - not more because of focussing on the thesis.
