This HS2 story will make you mad
Plus we dig into the emerging field of AI welfare
On this week’s episode of The Abundance Agenda, Martin tells James a frankly horrifying story about another attempt to delay the construction of HS2, and then we speak to former OpenAI frontier AI researcher Rosie Campbell about why her new non-profit, Eleos Research, is focusing on the emerging field of “AI Welfare”.
The Abundance Agenda is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Substack, and hopefully wherever you get your podcasts!
You can find James on Bluesky here, and Martin here.
You can find Martin’s detailed Substack posts with maps, diagrams and much more detail here.
You can read James’s solution to the AI/copyright problem here.
And you can find Rosie’s colleague Rob Long, whose newsletter she recommended, here.
Sounds like a wild ride this week! Can't wait to hear Martin's take on HS2 and dive into Rosie’s insights on AI Welfare. This convo is gonna be lit!
