Author says he reads Zvi Mowshowitz because he agrees with the writer's views on AI; anyone have a quick summary or good article to check out to get a sense?

The main thing Zvi puts out is a weekly dump of everything that has happened in AI; it's super wide coverage but usually not a lot of analysis. As a warning, here's what he had to say about Midjourney Medical: https://thezvi.substack.com/p/ai-173-ai-pauses?open=false#%C... It's links to hypeful people with conflicts of interest, presented with no warnings about that. (For a more balanced response by Scott Alexander (a medical doctor), see https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/preliminary-thoughts-on-the...)
If anything, I'd treat him as a table of contents to things other people do.
Yeah I took a look later and am still mystified as to why specifically he would find a site like that to be addictive writing and helpful to him.
Zvi is a rationalist blogger who writes a lot of takes on AI news, here's recent coverage of how Washington is reacting to AI x-risk going mainstream with Jacob Coxon, the Hugging Face incident, etc: https://thezvi.substack.com/p/the-ai-preference-cascade-reac...
