> The most influential philosopher of recent times is Eliezer Yudkowsky ... The adoption of his thinking contributed to the formation of major AI labs such as OpenAI and later Anthropic. Minor point, but I don't think one can reasonably credit Yudkowsky with this. Yudkowsy was no booster of neural nets and was quite surprised by their recent success. He's certainly said a lot of important things about artificial intelligence (mostly regarding the potential dangers of such), but his ideas haven't really contributed to current methods of constructing them. (And yes you could say that Yudkowsky's ideas about the dangers of AI were influential on Anthropic specifically, but this quote is obviously not referring to that.)
