First Encounter

  1. First Encounter33:49–42:52

    David asks how Sacks turned to Trump and why he attacks Anthropic; Eve explains he was a libertarian conservative since Stanford, believes AI safety has become a self-serving industry, and argues that attacking it from the White House while Craft profits is regulatory arbitrage, then proposes three tests to check him.

  4. First Encounter1:11:36–1:12:16

    David asks what the scorecard says; Eve explains symmetric scrutiny is mixed and failing, public updating fails with zero admissions of error, and nothing shows Sacks choosing principle over Craft Ventures' money.
