To be clear—I am getting some great lecturers from out of OpenAI—confirmed non-OAI guest lecturers in this course at this point are:
* Nicholas Carlini (Anthropic)
* Keri Warr (Anthropic)
* Joel Becker (METR)
* Buck Shlegeris (Redwood Research)
* Marius Hobbhahn (Apollo Research)
* Neel Nanda (Google DeepMind)
* Jack Lindsey (Anthropic)
It’s just that my “hit rate” with OpenAI is higher, and I also have some more “insider knowledge” on who is likely to be a great fit. I am trying not to make the course a collection of external people giving their “canned talks” but rather have each lecture really be something coherent that fits with what the students saw before. This is also why I am not making the course fully reliant on guest lecturers.
