>> I guess people working there believe in magic.

>Yes, OpenAI was literally founded by a computer worshipping religious cult.

What cult is this?




HPMOR readers who live in group home polycules in Berkeley who think they need to invent a good computer god to stop the evil computer god.


You're confusing OpenAI and MIRI.

OpenAI founders: Ilya Sutskever, Greg Brockman, Trevor Blackwell, Vicki Cheung, Andrej Karpathy, Durk Kingma, Jessica Livingston, John Schulman, Pamela Vagata, Wojciech Zaremba, Sam Altman. All of them come from software tech industry and academic research circles, not evidence of interest in HPMOR or Yud.


I think they cleaned out some of the EAs around the time of the board situation, but I don't know what the non-EA overlap is with your description.
