I mentioned this in the Lex interview, but it is official now: Keen Technologies, my new AGI company, has raised a $20M round, led by @natfriedman and @danielgross, with @patrickc, @tobi, @sequoia, @CapitalFactory, and Jim Keller participating.
@ID_AA_Carmack @natfriedman @danielgross @patrickc @tobi @sequoia @CapitalFactory What is the mission of Keen Technologies?
@bitman_mars @natfriedman @danielgross @patrickc @tobi @sequoia @CapitalFactory AGI or bust, by way of Mad Science!
@ID_AA_Carmack @bitman_mars @natfriedman @danielgross @patrickc @tobi @sequoia @CapitalFactory John, have you engaged much with work on AGI alignment? Curious what you make of the arguments I outline here: x.com/richardmcngo/s…

@ID_AA_Carmack @bitman_mars @natfriedman @danielgross @patrickc @tobi @sequoia @CapitalFactory As it happens, I had just asked an AI about this and it had some reservations. Maybe you need AI on your alignment team! What could go wrong? x.com/asciiartclub/s…

@ID_AA_Carmack @bitman_mars @natfriedman @danielgross @patrickc @tobi @sequoia @CapitalFactory That's "who and what," we'll leave the "how and when" to you. Do you have a solid answer for the "why?"
@ID_AA_Carmack @bitman_mars @natfriedman @danielgross @patrickc @tobi @sequoia @CapitalFactory So bust for 20 million...
@ID_AA_Carmack @bitman_mars @natfriedman @danielgross @patrickc @tobi @sequoia @CapitalFactory So that makes you Commander Keen right!
@ID_AA_Carmack @bitman_mars @natfriedman @danielgross @patrickc @tobi @sequoia @CapitalFactory This is likely to be actually catastrophic. I know that's a common sentiment in a media environment running rampant with alarmism, but this could be really, really dangerous.
@ID_AA_Carmack @bitman_mars @natfriedman @danielgross @patrickc @tobi @sequoia @CapitalFactory It would be great to understand: 1. If there have been any interesting developments in this quest 2. how you hire candidates and entrust them with the appropriate responsibilities
@ID_AA_Carmack @bitman_mars @natfriedman @danielgross @patrickc @tobi @sequoia @CapitalFactory How are you gonna distinguish yourself from the Big AGI Brains at DeepMind? That $20Mil will last less than a year w 10 AI scientists and hundreds of A100s/Hoppers. The Comma Dot AI to Tesla for AGI?
