Palantir CTO @ssankar says many AI researchers have picked up smoking as a way to show other researchers that their "chips are all in."
"There's an unseen force driving the narrative around AI safety, and it's this millenarian doomsday cult meets messianic complex called effective altruism."
"There's only ~2,000 AI researchers in America, and the vast majority of them believe in this worldview around effective altruism."
"There's a profound truth to the Pascal saying, 'Every human has a God-shaped hole in their heart.'"
"Many of these folks in Silicon Valley who are building this technology have filled that hole with the machine god of AGI."
