very AGI-pilled and very safety-concerned people to work in these sort of independent roles.
Even the journalism community has sort of appropriated these words to make fun of people who believe in things like existential risk.
In the journalism and media world, people will make fun of you if you are seen as an effective altruist, if you are seen as someone who believes in existential risk.
If you were seen as, quote unquote, buying into the Doomer hype, like you mentioned, of these AI companies.
And so it's actually like kind of low status in journalism to believe in these things.
It's low status in the policy community.
I mean, Politico, I think last year or the year before, sort of was running these –
was running these stories, attempting to weed out and witch hunt anyone who has any connection to effective altruist fellowships within the AI policy community so that people would then go and discredit them.
I've had, again, senior media people tell me very similar things where they're going after all the Tarbell fellows and saying,
these people are just anthropic shills or these people are shills for like some crazy Silicon Valley billionaires.
And so especially because these are the roles that I already think are less supported, like they are not as well remunerated as roles at the labs.
You don't have this like social and professional ecosystem.
I tend to worry more so about people who are in academia, in research and policy and in journalism who take AI really seriously and whether they are supported to do their work.
Yeah, I've been tracking sort of the general anti-AI backlash and the political backlash in the United States.
And I've been curious about that.
So I made two trips to Washington, D.C.
in February and March of this year.
And one of my core goals during these trips was to talk to some of these advocates and interest groups who were patriotic.
basically anti-AI advocates in various forms.
And I specifically really wanted to talk to folks who are not part of either the industry or the sort of classic AI safety community, but people who are actually coming from other factions and factions within American politics who have only recently begun engaging on AI.
