We are live with Eddie Lazarin, who's a general partner at A sixteen Z Crypto and one of the Internet's strongest soldiers, strongest advocates of open source, of uh AI accelerationism and of techno optimism. voice-verified

Eddie, welcome to MTS. voice-verified

Thanks voice-verified

So man, where where to start? voice-verified

Like the last couple of weeks have been such this like a preference cascade flood of AI safetyism, effective altruism, and the like. voice-verified

Um it did seem like, you know. voice-verified

I like I'm not really concerned about agents coordinating in emergent ways. voice-verified
