In a thread with Kelsey Tuoc, sjgadler claims Daniel Kokotajlo (AI 2027 co-author, ex-OpenAI) staked his equity specifically to be able to write AI 2027, with conditions of not criticizing OpenAI — and not telling anyone he'd promised not to. He adds he's unaware of anything similar involving Miles Brundage. Unverified insider claim.
