> be 15, care loudly about the world's biggest problems before it's fashionable
> get dunked on for it
> finish Columbia at 19, top of class
> join a fund trying to point capital at long-horizon problems
> watch it detonate, learn what bad governance looks like from inside the building
> get hired onto a frontier lab's alignment team
> raise concerns internally instead of staying quiet and vesting
> get pushed out for it
> write your actual model of where this is going, publish under your own name, let everyone tear it apart
> put your own money behind the thesis instead of posting about it
> get called a grifter by people who have never made a falsifiable prediction in their lives
Silicon Valley is full of bullshitters and runs entirely through connections.
> Come from an upper class family
> Get connections through EA community to work in FTX with SBF
> then get some more connections to work in OpenAI with 0 technical relevance
> write yet-another fear-mongering essay to create sensation and pretend you are sacking yourself for benefit of humanity
> pocket millions of dollars in fees and act so reckless that you don't have risk management for your portfolio stocks going down %20
> profit
