Bernie did a bad job debating Rogan on climate. He failed to say that it's the [very few] scientists who cast doubt on human-caused climate change THAT ARE ACTUALLY THE ONES EARNING THE BIG BUCKS (via fossils funding). And scientists who demonstrate that climate change is real aren't getting rich.

I think the same thing played out with vaccine science. At some point, you either trust or distrust the scientific institutions.

Climate is a bit different. You can see some of its impacts, but some of these also happened before industrialisation (some extreme weather, changes in weather patterns...). So if you don't trust scientists, how how do you decide on which storms & heat-waves would have happened anyway?

Why does #nature cut through but not #climate?

Loss of forests, sea-life, healthy soils, real food... this is all tangible. It's easier to believe the science on this.

It was a way into raising all the amazing purpose-led models being pursued, like #StewardOwnership #EmployeeOwnership #CommunityOwnership #NatureOnTheBoard... These new forms of relationship between investment & business are driving the amazing innovations in #PurposeDrivenBusiness.

🥊 If all that doesn’t hook you, of course there is also the drama between Altman & Musk.

We were also joined by Page Hedley, former policy & ethics adviser at OpenAI, who explained what has changed in the governance of the company, and why it matters so much.

💰 Also, limit was set on extraction by investors (of 100x). But then investors demanded more - 100x was insufficient. They expected to make much more than $100m for every $1m they invest. So the company restructured, bringing into question if the non-profit can really enforce society's interests.

The evolution of OpenAI seemed a good way in. The company was set up with the recognition that shareholder & society interests often diverge on AI. And that a non-profit needs to control its governance so as to prioritise society's interests. So a non-profit was set up to control the company.
