I was more willing to accept gwern’s eccentricities in the past but as we learn more about MIRI and its questionable funding resources, one wonders how much he’s tied up in it.
The Lighthaven retreat in particular was exceptionally shady, possibly even scam-adjacent; I was shocked that he participated in it.
I’ve been to Lighthaven many times and it has always been great. Can you explain what you’re talking about?
What does any of that have to do with the value of what’s presented in the article?
