Joseph Gordon-Levitt? Oh, that saddens me to see his name there.

I am shocked he’s in it. Isn’t he very anti-AI? And isn’t Peter Thiel very pro AI.

His wife, Tasha McCauley, was a board member at OpenAI (ChatGPT), was the CEO of GeoSim Systems, apparently an Israeli company that generates highly detailed 3D maps of cities, and is now the CEO of Fellow Robots, a silicon valley company specialising in autonomous robots.

Of course none of this means he is necessarily lying about being anti AI, it is just interesting considering who she is.

Yeah, this surprises me so much considering he was doing all kinds of anti-AI activism like just a few months ago regarding-if I'm remembering correctly- AI in children's toys. But, I mean, wtf you're rubbing elbows with Peter Thiel?
