Sam Harris

Again, I don't know.

I mean, he's in some superposition of, you know, who I thought he was and who I never imagined he could be.

Might be.

And I'm not sure how much it's a story of, I didn't recognize who he was at the time or how much he has changed, uh, you know, under the pressure of becoming so famous and so wealthy and so drug addled.

And so, so, I mean, I actually algorithm poisoned.

I view him as the, you know,

the worst the most depressing case study in right the story of what social media can do to a human life people talk about trump derangement syndrome but there's really social media derangement syndrome and the person whose brain has been most jacked into the unfiltered version of that algorithm has been him yeah so it's kind of like getting high in your own supply he's just built this hallucination machine now and he's just been staring into it for years and years

matter a lot to what he's willing to lie about at this point.

I mean, it's just, um, and then, so he's, there's a, um, a profile of Sam, Sam Altman that just came out in the New Yorker that I think was published yesterday or thereabouts.

I haven't finished it, but I mean, just the, but behind the scenes, you know, the arms race is so desperate at this point that, I mean, there's just, you know, behind the scenes, there's just this, you know,

endless effort of character assassination and kind of war gaming between the two of them personally.

I mean, because most of it's coming from Elon toward Altman, you know, trying to torpedo open AI.

But there's just a lot of, I mean, it could be clearly the original altruistic motive to just do this safely.

I mean, above all to do this safely.

for the benefit of humanity, that has been thrown to the wayside.

And there's just this wanton reach for trillions of dollars.

It seems like Anthropic has, I don't know Dario, I've never met him, but it seems like it has a slightly different ethic, at least in how it's behaved so far.

I mean, the fact that it pulled back from its Pentagon deal because it couldn't secure an agreement that it wanted.

And as of, I believe last night, it announced that it has a model that it doesn't feel it's safe to release to the general public, but it's releasing to all the companies like Microsoft that

might be able to study it because the specific concerns are around cybersecurity.
