Late night pod with Razib Khan on OpenAI stuff
some background on EA (effective altruism) as well from Razib
Where we discuss where we are and how we got here.
We also delve into corporate governance, EA [
But seriously, I learned a lot. Especially about the EA / decel / longtermism ideas and some of the background of the people involved in this space including on the OpenAI board. I’ve known EAs personally for over a decade, and attended and EA-themed wedding once. Definitely not a new thing, as Razib points out. It’s been around way longer than SBF.
Would love to hear a full-length episode on EA with Razib some time, actually.
But to be clear, EA was only about 20% of what we discussed on this late night conversation. Mostly OpenAI, GPUs, and how much AGI might have been delayed by this drama.
