I think it's cool that you're doing this, but the OpenAI grant certainly raises eyebrows 🤨.

I don't know precisely what the distribution of AGI timelines looks like at OpenAI, but if they believe timelines are short, but they are paying for a series of posts about timelines being much longer, well one might wonder whether this is an attempt to avoid regulation...

On the other hand, it's not like I want funders to only fund people who agree with them on everything. That seems really bad as well.

I guess I've kind of put them in an unfair bind/Catch 22, but I don't know, often it just feels worthwhile, honestly sharing how you see things.
