Robin Hanson argues Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei should deploy socially adept representatives rather than technical leaders for government negotiations

@TrungTPhan He is probably the smartest person in the room. Nerve, judgment, compression, timing, and making other people move are not alternatives to intelligence, but its essence.

@robinhanson If it was your nerds meeting their nerds, they'd either get along fine or murder each other. The sales culture is there to remove that lower end.

@ns123abc easy enough if you give 25 mil to the big daddy

@TrungTPhan These charts never have the information I’m looking for.

@robinhanson This is why "Tom"s are underrated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNuu9CpdjIo

@ns123abc lol imagine the master class that would be, just saying _wonderful things_

@ns123abc The Dumbfuk Whisperer 🎶 pegged to Fibonacci

@ns123abc Dario did this to himself. The Trump-Elon fight made me realize something, Trump doesn’t give a fuck about you even if you donate to him.

@robinhanson if the government is sending sales type people rather than technical experts from NSA, you can relax a little that it’s not a real emergency and have your sales people deal with it

@robinhanson i feel like they arent as good at negotiating and getting what they want

@robinhanson Unilateral disarmament is generally unwise

@ns123abc In Eastern face reading, this face looks super shady 🤣
