He got sold a bad narrative about AI by a guy who runs an AI doom cult in the Bay Area. (The cult leader also got funded by the same industry. Go figure.)

With that in mind, what he took away from those meetings isn't great, but it's the best possible result of them.

    I think its more about "meet the people where they are at". "AI" is in the zeitgeist and is useful as a focal point for the fact that its a really small club and you ain't in it.

    Eliezer Yudkowsky is not the people. He is a cult leader. He is less a meeting of "the people" as Ron Hubbard himself.

    It's worth being able to recognize his face if you see it. Frankly, I'd trust the credentials and truthfulness of Sam Altman over Yudkowski... At least his agenda is more apparent.
