OK sorry to over-advertise but it seemed like this one would be of interest to the LessWrong and EA communities. Episode description below, audio is here, or search for “The Filan Cabinet Habryka” wherever you listen to podcasts.
In this episode I speak with Oliver Habryka, head of Lightcone Infrastructure, the organization that runs the internet forum LessWrong, about his projects in the rationality and existential risk spaces. Topics we talk about include:
How did LessWrong get revived?
How good is LessWrong?
Is there anything that beats essays for making intellectual contributions on the internet?
Why did the team behind LessWrong pivot to property development?
What does the FTX situation tell us about the wider LessWrong and Effective Altruism communities?
What projects could help improve the world’s rationality?
