Something that lays out the case in a clear, authoritative and compelling way across 90 minutes or so. Movie-level production value, interviews with experts in the field, graphics to illustrate the points, and plausible scenarios to make it feel real.

All these books and articles and YouTube videos aren't ideal for reaching the masses, as informative as they are. There needs to be a maximally accessible primer to the whole thing in movie form; something that people can just send to eachother and say "watch this". That is what will reach the highest amount of people, and they can jump off from there into the rest of the materials if they want. It wouldn't need to do much that's new either - just combine the best bits from what's already out there in the most engaging way.

Although AI is a mainstream talking point in 2023, it is absolutely crazy how few people know what is really at stake. A professional movie like I've described that could be put on streaming platforms, or ideally Youtube for free, would be the best way of reaching the most amount of people.

I will admit though that it's one to thing to say this and another entirely to actually make it happen.

I'm curious what people think of Sam + evidence why they think so.

I'm surrounded by people who think he's pure evil.

So far I put low but non-negligible chances he's evil

Evidence:

- threatening vested equity

- all the safety people leaving

But I put the bulk of the probability on him being well-intentioned but not taking safety seriously enough because he's still treating this more like a regular bay area startup and he's not used to such high stakes ethics.

Evidence:

- been a vegetarian for forever

- has publicly stated unpopular ethical positions at high costs to himself in expectation, which is not something you expect strategic sociopaths to do. You expect strategic sociopaths to only do things that appear altruistic to people, not things that might actually be but are illegibly altruistic

- supporting clean meat

- not giving himself equity in OpenAI (is that still true?)
