    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)).

      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.
