      One of the guys from the popular (2.3M subs) yt channel computerphile (not about AI just computer stuff and they have a lot of different people giving talks), is also an advisor. Which would be a good example for people going ‘why are yall so worried about these nerds, nobody listens to them’. (Not going to namedrop as I have no idea how involved and connected he is to all this (and I’m not going to do some sort of creepy deep dive)).

        I totally will 😎

        Robert Miles was my first heartbreaker. He seems like a great educator; I just like listening to him explaining things and talking about computer science. But damn it came as a shock to see he’s the narrator of a Rationalism for Kids cartoon series and is neck-deep in EA.

          @hrrrngh @Soyweiser oh man, I was hoping so hard it wouldn’t be him, but he was the first from computerphile to come to mind…
