I am somewhat disappointed in Sam Harris being on the list. I do not agree with him on every topic, but I did enjoy some of his views back when he was more about philosophy than politics.
I do find Ted Cruz being involved to be absolutely hilarious though.
...I think an "on the record" society makes more sense. People wear smart glasses, everything recorded, transcribed and fed into an LLM. People can have a mute button, but generally discouraged. Suitable in the age of prediction markets, high definition streaming and fast software development. Humans can be verified at the door.
I have only had the minimum of time to look into it, so far I only found his own vague justification, his wife supposedly(?) being part of Open AI, a multimedia platform he made then maybe or maybe not un/ethically provided the data of it to Ubisoft, him supposedly lobbying against section 230, and even more vague accusations of 'Zionism'.
That participation list is not especially selective, politically aligned or sinister.
Many are there because they are famous or influential in politics, business, journalism etc.

Preet Bhara,

Tyler Cohen,
Kaja Kallas (VP European Comission),

I guess he didn't get invited again.

People seem to be okay with this.
Their website was just a react SPA with the entire member list in the JS bundle. What a stupid mistake to make for these tech "geniuses".
