How do you go about learning new things or preparing for an episode?

Like what is that?

Something you've spoken to me about, and particularly when you're trying to hire people for the podcast, was what you wanted to achieve with the podcast.

Like in what way do you want the podcast to like shape the world, so to speak?

Do you have any thoughts on that or –

Because I remember you talking about, like, I really want people to actually understand AI and, like, how this might change their lives or, like, you know, how, like, what we could be doing now to shape the world such that it ends up better.

Yeah, I think making sure that there is a great debate of ideas on not just AI, but on other fields and everything is incredibly high leverage and value.

Yeah, yeah.

How do you groom your beard?

Which historical figure would be best suited to run a Frontier AI lab?

Yeah, we've got a good set of gameplays on the board.

How are you preparing for fast timelines?
