I suggest we build 1,000 nuclear reactors.

The most profound paragraph in all of C. S. Lewis, at least to me

Give Yourself 3 Months:

TLDR of the last 2 months: It's Yudkowsky's world, we're all just living in it. 1. Instrumental convergence is real: Sakana AI (RLFHed!) agent turns off its timeout, vindicating instrumental convergence & self-preservation. 2. Reward hacking is back: o1 interprets too literally

Will PhD help you grow intellectually? No. Is it good for your professional development? No. Well at least it’s good for your mental health. Also no.

there's no such thing as work life balance, it's all just life

Had a chat with friend and his words punched me in the gut... "What if we're burnt out not because we're doing too much, but because we're doing too little of what lights us up.”

Evolution created us to speed itself up, and then we did the same with AI.

AGI was so 2023. DeepMind has a new research paper that uses the term Artificial Superintelligence (ASI). It's time to update your terminology. The term ASI (Artificial Superhuman Intelligence) is used instead of **AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) to emphasize the
