Bill Gates's A.I. warning lifts a quiet Ezra Klein channel

Eleven times the usual. That is roughly the pace "Bill Gates’s Blunt Warning on A.I. | The Ezra Klein Show" set after it went up on Tuesday. It passed 300,000 views in its first thirteen hours, a total that a new episode here normally reaches only in part, even after a full day.

It did so against the grain. The channel as a whole was drawing well under its normal daily views, and most of the political commentary channels around its size were having a soft spell as well, Harry Sisson's and Steve Schmidt's among them. Hysteria was the exception, running ahead of its usual pace. The Gates episode was also a talking point in its own right, with roughly one comment for every three or four likes.

The guest needs little introduction. Gates co-founded Microsoft and later built one of the world's largest private philanthropies with the Gates Foundation. Klein, a New York Times Opinion columnist, is known for long, patient interviews. The title promises bluntness, and on artificial intelligence it is Gates delivering it.
