James Brady, Head of Engineering at Ought.org and one of the impressive signatories on the

Bart Selman, Cornell, Professor of Computer Science, past president of AAAI

and 27559 other well known souls) helps us understand the many implications of AI, society and very importantly for us, Education.
We spend more than the average time with James exploring his life as a son of teachers (who I truly admire), a Cambridge University grad and one of the earliest Y Combinator alumni. His thoughts are ones that I want to come back and listen to over and over again. I feel like the didactic impact from just this conversation is worth at least 3 or 8 listens to this one interview.
I highly recommend contrasting it with Lex Fridman's interview of Sam Altman (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_Guz73e6fw) or even Guy Raz's interview with him (https://podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast/hibt-lab-openai-sam-altman/id1150510297?i=1000580232536) or even Reid Hoffman's (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPJIpx3KscY). I think Tim Ferris also did one with him at one point, but I can't find it to share. Please feel free to add it to the comments or anywhere you can.
James is a fascinating perspective and this interview, I believe is possibly worth listening just as much as the 3 former ones -- just saying.
