I think something pretty close to this is true, and I’m worried about it. (I don’t know that I buy Sam’s implied background story in that tweet, but, I do think OpenAI is at least somewhat downstream of Superintelligence being published). I also have a recollection of Shane Legg from DeepMind being influenced by early Lesswrong, although I don’t remember the details
I’m a bit confused about how to think about the current-day situation (i.e. I agree with DirectedEvolution there is just a lot of profit motive now), but I think it’s been at least a relevant gear historically.
