"It's not what you know, it's what you know that just ain't so." So much of what people purport to "know" about him - and honestly, many other people - is guesswork, speculation, incomplete, and often likely wrong.

Hand to God, I think Chris Lehane is one of the most misunderstood people in the broader AI policy universe. A decent, values-driven person doing his best to democratize access to AI and AI benefits, and to support his country. He has depth, substance, heart, and courage.

@jachiam0 Okay but to engage with this I think you probably have to disagree on specific points. Like I think you could be right (actually I don’t take a view here) but why should people update to your inside view.
