New blog post where I explain why I disagree with this, and why I have slightly longer timelines to AGI than many of my guests. I think continual learning is a huge bottleneck to the usefulness of these models, and extended computer use may take years to sort out. L-nk below.
"Even if AI progress totally stalls, it's sufficiently easy to collect data on all these different white collar job tasks that we should expect to see them automated within the next 5 years."

Was not expecting this much demand!. Chatted with the venue - we were able to add some more spots. They'll go fast, so claim now. Do get on the waitlist even if it looks full - we'll see what we can do. Also, please cancel the bookings you've made for yourself or your +1s if.
On a viewer-minute adjusted basis, I host the Sarah Paine podcast, where I sometimes also talk about AI. I'm very excited to announce a new 6-part in-person lecture series with her in San Francisco in July. We're giving the tickets away for free. Links below.

Many of the lectures are now filled. If you wanna come to the others, make sure to book a spot now. Either way don’t worry - they’ll all eventually be released on YouTube. Please RSVP only for lectures you can actually make.

New post - notes and questions from reading Kotkin on Stalin. I spend a long time researching, and it's impossible to explore more than a small fraction of my curiosities during the interview. This was especially true for Kotkin. These 1000-page-each volumes basically compile.
What should I ask Stephen Kotkin?. Historian and author of Stalin: Paradoxes of Power, 1878–1928, and Stalin: Waiting for Hitler, 1929–1941, with the third volume to be published

Reminder to follow @dwarkeshpodcast for clips of the most interesting snippets from my interview.
Building mirror life could wipe out everything on Earth. Life as we know it is built on left-handed amino acids, encoded by RNA and DNA made from right-handed sugars. Because all organisms share a common evolutionary origin, this molecular handedness is universal. In theory,
