I think it’s a little more concerning that Dwarkesh has invested in this startup:
Mechanize is backed by investments from Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross, Patrick Collison, Dwarkesh Patel, Jeff Dean, Sholto Douglas, and Marcus Abramovitch.
And I do not see any disclosure of this in either the Youtube description or the Substack transcript at present.
Might Leopold Aschenbrenner also be involved? He runs an investment fund with money from Nat Friedman, Daniel Gross, and Patrick Collison, so the investment in Mechanize might have come from that?
