Episode description

My friend John Sherman from the For Humanity podcast got hired by the Center for AI Safety (CAIS) two weeks ago.

Today I suddenly learned he’s been fired.

I’m frustrated by this decision, and frustrated with the whole AI x-risk community’s weak messaging.

Come to the Less Online conference on May 30 - Jun 1, 2025: https://less.online

Hope to see you there!
