I won’t get into behind-the-scenes specifics here but I think you can imagine how pressurized this topic was and the amount of heat that tends to generate. I’m used to getting a lot of blowback and it’s never fun. I just hope the work is meticulous and fair enough, and that enough people see the benefits of that, that I get to continue to do it.
If you want another story to run, I'd really love to see an investigation into how these different companies are convincing governements that the only path forward to win global dominance is through achieving 'agi' first and how much that contributes to the reckless acceleration of ai software and infrastructure development
Also a good expose on accelerationists and e/accs and who among the elites fall in this group is direly needed as well
Hey, just want to say thanks for the piece and for all the hard work and effort you did to get this out there. I've published a bit here and there, and the actual writing is only ~50% of the work load (for me at least). So thanks for going through all the effort and pain to get it out, really appreciate all the work you do for me and the rest of Joe Public.
