Rich is an author of the RL book, and more recently, he founded the OpenMind Research Institute with some colleagues.

The interview is in 1 week. I have a background in RL and already have some ideas on questions and topics, but I also want to source questions outside of the Alberta RL bubble. Technical questions are the best, though I am open to anything. Thank you!

I'll post an update in this thread in a couple weeks after the interview is published.

What are his thoughts on the societal impacts of AI in fictional universes like Star Wars in comparison to the doomer narrative?

What are things he would tell people who don't know much about AI about AI risks from what they hear form Sam Altman and the media?

What are ouse advice would he give to people doing research on challenging problems? Also some tips and tricks about training RL models he learned.
