You are supposed to lose it all and get it back that’s called prestige

This is how AGI work btw

Dario Amodei: AI could surpass human intelligence by 2027. “I think it’s possible it could be longer than that. I don’t think it will be a whole bunch longer.” “AI systems will be better than almost all humans at almost everything.” “When that happens, we’ll need to have a conversation about how we organize our economy.” “How do humans find meaning?” “The idea that humans produce economic labor and get their sense of self-worth from it will be invalidated.” “My true belief is that this is coming.”

Capabilities researchers — please consider pivoting to alignment. It’s a harder problem but we must solve it. And we’re not on track to do so. Ask any alignment researcher. The capabilities recipe is well known already but your research experience is uniquely valuable for alignment, whose community developed different skills. Add new perspective as someone familiar with the RSI stack.

They really don’t

I don’t agree. When abundance era arrives, I certainly won’t stop "working" and just live off UHI, doing nothing. But I also don’t find the idea of people living comfortably on UHI, without working, dystopian. Quite the opposite. UBI, or even UHI, will simply become the new baseline. Today, homeless people living on the street (current bottom) will get help from others or institutions, at least with basic necessities like food, so they won't starve. As human civilization gets richer and more advanced, that minimum will be rising. Instead of barely getting by, it could mean receiving $5 000, then $10,000 a month (which, thanks to AI and automation driven deflation, could eventually have the purchasing power of $1 million today) and that purchasing power will continue to grow over time. But the main point is that we can still build things, "work", and do something useful. Nobody will forbid you from doing any of that. People simply won’t need to worry about basic necessities anymore. Many people have built their entire identity around being a slave and have a problem with "you won't need to work" visions of the future. And some people don’t just accept the grind. They want to make it holy. Work to eat. Work to pay rent. Work to pay bills. Repeat until you die. That’s not living, but surviving. This is basically a polished Stone Age, and it’s on its way out. A new world is coming, and this era will become a memory nobody misses.

What happens when we become so good at optimising things that we forget how to make them wonderful? I wrote about craftsmanship, taste, enshittification, and why the little details we barely notice might matter more than we think. ruchirrsharma.substack.com/p…

Someone got laid off before even joining 😭

You just won a 2-week, all-expenses-paid vacation. But there’s a catch: you have to stay within one region the whole time. What are you picking?

At NeurIPS 2018, I remember people saying "NLP is dead" lol Computer vision was all the rage. Everyone thought NLP research was just a long tail of edge cases with no real path to generalization

India will overtake Bangladesh in per capita GDP by 2029: IMF
