Some honesty about why I'm posting here: I'm not an alignment researcher. I built this tool with AI assistance and no software background. I chose AI safety as the first corpus deliberately, because if a tool like this can be useful to this audience, that's strong evidence it works.
While preparing a deeper post on the Christiano-Yudkowsky disagreement, I audited what the corpus actually covers and found gaps I'd rather fix than write around:
Christiano: 8 appearances (2013-2023). Dwarkesh, AXRP, two 80,000 Hours episodes, EA Global, FAR.AI, and two early MIRI talks.
Yudkowsky: 3 appearances. Lex Fridman, Dwarkesh, and a 2016 MIRI lecture. Missing: Bankless ("We're All Gonna Die"), EconTalk, and probably others I don't know about.
Not covered at all: Doom Debates, Rationally Speaking, The Cognitive Revolution, and obviously the written MIRI dialogues, which no podcast index can replace.
My pipeline makes adding episodes cheap, so the constraint isn't effort. It's knowing what matters. Which appearances or shows would you add first?
Follow-up to my previous post( What's actually inside 1,259 hours of AI safety podcasts? — LessWrong.) Since then I've added dates and speaker names to search results (thanks Wei Dai), fixed the broken links (thanks Nnotm), and made each curated concept a proper page. For example corrigibility (https://www.leita.io/concept/corrigibility), deceptive alignment (https://www.leita.io/concept/deceptive-alignment), and AI takeoff (https://www.leita.io/concept/ai-takeoff). Each page collects curated clips plus semantic search hits from the full corpus.

As before: search anything at https://www.leita.io/search, browse all concept pages at https://www.leita.io/concepts, and tell me when results are wrong. The corrections from last time were all shipped.
