Just how weird will the AI-powered future be?

To discuss, ChinaTalk interviewed Nathan Lambert, who writes the Interconnects newsletter and researches AI at the Allen Institute.


We get into…

  • Why OpenAI is trending toward engagement farming and sycophancy,
  • The state of Chinese AI innovation six months post-DeepSeek, and the factors influencing diffusion of Chinese vs American models,
  • Meta’s organizational culture and how it influences the quality of the Llama models,
  • Unconventional career advice for the AI age.

    • Nathan’s book recommendation: Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism by Sarah Wynn-Williams
