So especially if you're directly working on AI, if you're experiencing cognitive dissonance about the goodness/beauty of how you're doing it, don't put off dealing with it because it's more important to race or be productive or focused now, please!

I think a very important lesson is: You can't count on possible narratives/interpretations/correlations not being noticed and then generalizing to permeate everything about the mind. If you're training an LLM, everything about you on every level of abstraction will leak in. And
