I don’t know Guillaume Verdon / Beff Jezos but Forbes’ profile begins: Andreessen Horowitz cofounder Marc Andreessen says @BasedBeffJezos is a “patron saint of techno-optimism.” Garry Tan, who cofounded the venture firm Initialized Capital before becoming CEO of Y Combinator, calls him “brother.” Sam Altman, who founded OpenAI — the company that finally mainstreamed artificial intelligence — has jokingly sparred with him on Twitter. Elon Musk says his memes are “🔥🔥🔥.” He has an entry on the Effective Accelerationism wiki www.eaccwiki.com/index.php?title=Beff_Jezos

I don’t know Guillaume Verdon / Beff Jezos He is supposed to be the original instigator and public face of so-called e/acc or effective accelarationism, i.e. the rationalist spin-off of people who feel whinging about alignment isn’t necessary and that it’s in fact awesome when new technology is killing people and ruining the environment because it means we’re getting to the singularity faster, and also openly rooting for fascism on main is based now. His magic heatless AI processor startup feels like a grift to fleece investors and as far as I know has only ever produced an obviously staged video of sciency looking individuals fawning over a 3d printed wireframe while touring what looks like a chip fab with an extremely lax contamination protocol.
