“Sam Alman had some kind of case in which he said riffing off a paper that Emily was an author on as well as the executive director and founder of DARE where I work to meet Jeru where he where they had written on the dangers of stochastic parrots and Altman had remarked I'm a stochastic parrot and so are you.”
