beffjezos · x · 2026-09-18
e/acc figure Guillaume Verdon (Beff Jezos) says he will deliver an e/acc address at Oxford, calling it the source of the "EA mind virus." Quoting a profile of Anthropic "whistleblower" Jacob Coxon, he highlights Coxon's path from reading Bostrom's Superintelligence in high school to Cambridge, an alignment conference at 19, a fellowship at EA-funded Newspeak House, and a 2022 scholarship from an org backed by EA donor Dustin Moskovitz, arguing EA funding networks systematically encourage members to infiltrate tech companies.
