       | " _Perhaps more important to my subsequent decisions, the AI
       | timelines shortening triggered an acceleration of social
       | dynamics. MIRI became very secretive about research. Many
       | researchers were working on secret projects, and I learned almost
       | nothing about these. I and other researchers were told not to
       | even ask each other about what others of us were working on, on
       | the basis that if someone were working on a secret project, they
       | may have to reveal this fact. Instead, we were supposed to
       | discuss our projects with an executive, who could connect people
       | working on similar projects. Someone in the community told me
       | that for me to think AGI probably won 't be developed soon, I
       | must think I'm better at meta-rationality than Eliezer Yudkowsky,
       | a massive claim of my own specialness."_
