Nate Soares and I are publishing a traditional book: _If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All_. Coming in Sep 2025. You should probably read it! Given that, we'd like you to preorder it! Nowish!

Possibly you could also build in a difficulty metric by how quickly you're reading each word. Not entirely sure how you would measure that though, unless you're reading out loud, which I guess could work.

Idea for language learning: Instead of doing Anki flash cards, have an LLM generate a continuous story, and words come up at whatever point an SRS system would usually show them. If you have to click on a word to see the meaning, it marks it as fail, otherwise as pass.

Apparently you can't trust Youtube's verified feature. Here's a verified channel called "European Space Agency, ESA". But their community channel has German posts about woodworking - so probably a hacked channel? Thing is though, the actual ESA channel has the exact same name.
