Continuing the AI superalignment mission

”My God, it’s full of stars.”

This week, Tristan and Tasia go back in time to revisit the dramatic ouster — and resinstatement — of Sam Altman as CEO of OpenAI, with some behind-the-scenes perspective from a former board members. Then we explore the dissolution — and reconstitution — of OpenAI's safety team, and what it means for not only OpenAI's superalignment efforts, but also those of one of its rivals. Plus: bilingual brain implants and a hack to disable Google's AI search results. Join us as we line up these stories about several bodies in the AI orbit.
