About this episode
My friend John from the AI X-Risk Network podcast got hired by the Center for AI Safety (CAIS) two weeks ago.
Today I suddenly learned he’s been fired.
I’m frustrated by this decision, and frustrated with the whole AI x-risk community’s weak messaging.
Come to the Less Online conference on May 30 - Jun 1, 2025: https://less.online
Hope to see you there!
