iamtrask · x · 2026-09-14
AI safety researcher iamtrask replied to a user noting that for about 10 years his incentives have been an ensemble of normal human incentives, academia, civil society, and big tech, having held affiliations in all three. He says this vantage point lets him watch how these groups respond differently to incentives, and how internal group-think within each community reinforces their strategic communications. No further details in the thread.
