BlueDot CEO: AI Safety Talent All Wants OpenAI, Government Pipelines Lag

BlueDot Impact CEO @dewierwan argues AI safety has a major talent problem:
- Everyone wants to work at OpenAI or Anthropic, while the pipelines bringing technical talent into government and public communication remain severely underdeveloped.
- She voices fear that the "vulnerable world hypothesis" may be correct: once enormous cognitive labor is applied to basic science, it will quickly become apparent how many avenues exist to create cheap, ultradestructive weapons — and solving that without global preventative policing (e.g. AI nonproliferation) is impossible, since hardening civilians against every attack vector is too expensive and slow.
