Continued thread

Along with the tech-centric WhatsApp groups Krishnan had organized out of a16z,
Andreessen joined a slew of others,
including ones that Torenberg set up for tech founders and for more political discussions.

The tech chats tended to be on WhatsApp and the political ones on Signal, which is more fully encrypted,
and they had different settings.

(“Every group chat ends up being about memes and humor and the goal of the group chat is to get as close to the line of being actually objectionable without tripping it,” Andreessen told Fridman.

“People will set to 5 minutes before they send something particularly inflammatory.“)

After a group of liberal intellectuals published a letter in Harper’s on July 7, 2020, some of its signers were invited to join a Signal group called “Everything Is Fine.”

There, writers including #Kmele #Foster, who co-hosts the podcast
"The Fifth Column", Persuasion founder #Yascha #Mounk, and the Harper’s letter contributor Williams joined Andreessen and a group that also included the anti-woke conservative activist #Chris #Rufo.

The new participants were charmed by Andreessen’s engagement:
“He was the most available, the most present, the most texting of anybody in the group
— which shocked me because it seemed like he was the most important person in the group,” one said.

But the center didn’t hold.

The liberal Harper’s types were surprised to find what one described an
“illiberal worldview” among tech figures more concerned with power than speech.

The conservatives found the liberal intellectuals tiresome, committed to what Rufo described to me as “infinite discourse” over action.

The breaking point came on July 5, 2021, when Foster and Williams,
along with the never-Trump conservative #David #French and the liberal academic #Jason #Stanley,
wrote a New York Times op-ed criticizing new laws against teaching “critical race theory.”

“Even if this censorship is legal in the narrow context of public primary and secondary education,
it is antithetical to educating students in the culture of American free expression,”
they wrote.

The conservatives had thought the Harper’s letter writers were their allies in an all-out ideological battle,
and considered their position a betrayal.

Andreessen “went really ballistic in a quite personal way at Thomas,”
a participant recalled.

The group ended after Andreessen “wrote something along the lines of
‘thank you everybody, I think it’s time to take a Signal break,’” another said.

The meltdown of this liberal-tech alliance was, to #Rufo, a healthy development.

“A lot of these technologists hoped that the centrist path was a viable one, because it would permit them in theory to change the culture without having to expose themselves to the risk of becoming partisans,”
he said.

“By 2021, the smartest people in tech understood that these people were a dead end
— so the group chats exploded and reformulated on more explicitly political lines.”

Rufo had been there all along:
“I looked at these chats as a good investment of my time to radicalize tech elites who I thought were the most likely and high-impact new coalition partners for the right.”

President Zelenkyy appeared calm, confident, relatable, and compelling in his guest appearance on the #LexFridman podcast.

John Mearsheimer is in my opinion a most clear thinking and correct in his assesment on the current Russian Ukraine situation and its background.
The segment on the podcast about Russia and Ukraine is a must see/listen. Yes there are uncomfortable truths being exposed, for us in the West that is, we are not as innocent as we like to believe. And Russia for their part did a lot more to avoid war, for years on end, than we in the West are aware of. This lack of knowledge about affairs and failure in putting yourself in the persons shoes seeing things from their perspective leads to foolish thoughts and misunderstandings. At least Lex Fridman promotes voices you seldom hear, John Mearsheimer does an excellent job in explaining the situation as objectively as he can, can't say that about or Western news media.
Also, the topic of China and the Israel/Palestine being discussed on the podcast was good listening.

I watched #ElizerYudkowsky talking to #LexFridman about #AI.

The thing on whether the #AI should be #openSource isn't as certain as Elizer thinks, I reckon.

There are some future words in which the way to align #AGI is spotted by someone looking at the architecture on Github in their spare time. That thing about open source reducing bugs because of many-eyes on it isn't just made up.

If the code is going to happen, perhaps it's better than it happen with the most eyes upon it?

The woman to solve it might be a hobbyist working in a high school, or a jobbing patent clerk with messy hair.

The preference is still to just down-tools though:
There shouldn't be any source-code to copyleft until we know how to aim it, let alone where to aim it.
