A former OpenEye employee reflects on their decision to speak out about potential dangers, expressing a desire to avoid media attention while on vacation at their parents' house. The chapter closes with gratitude and hope for further discussions on important matters.
This week, we host a cultural exchange. Kevin and Casey show off their Canadian paraphernalia to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and he shows off what he’s doing to position Canada as a leader in A.I. Then, the OpenAI whistle-blower Daniel Kokotajlo speaks in one of his first public interviews about why he risked almost $2 million in equity to warn of what he calls the reckless culture inside that company.
Guests:
- Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada
- Daniel Kokotajlo, a former researcher in OpenAI’s governance division
