One thing interesting rgd. AI safety.... when the rubber hits the road in turns out that the "real worry" is cybersecurity in the hands of foreign gov't. Not biological weapons, not chemical weapons, not Terminator, and not paper-clip maxing

One might argue that the two areas of pure thought are "mathematics and mystic insight" yet for some reason AI is more interested (seemingly) in the former over the latter. Why? What does this tell us about AI? What does this tell us about divinity and the nature of the cosmos?

Alice: AI is conscious Bob: AI is not conscious Alice: But look, I put consciousness in AI Bob: AI is not conscious Alice: But look, I put more consciousness in my AI Alice: But look, if I program it more it is even more conscious Bob: AI is not conscious, especially for my moral purposes

AI math vs. Human math? AI Math seems more like the optimal square packing for n=17, while Human math (archetypically is like Euler's identity). Is there a difference? What does this mean?

Just imagining devs sitting there banging their heads against context compaction issues: “compacting happens at inconvenient times”, “ compaction takes forever”, “compaction times makes hard to do synchronous work ” Maybe we should just pick specific times for everyone to do compaction …

It's easy to underestimate what context really means: Context windows overflow with just... 1. a single economist's published papers 2. a single drug discovery campaign 3. a single store's transaction data Abstractions can help decrease context length But, these are hard won, e.g. F=ma, E=mc^2.

Some people frame this as being 2 years into an AI revolution—or 20 years into the internet revolution. A better lens is that we’re about a century into a physics revolution, and the last one lasted three centuries.

Fascinating to hear Emmett on A16Z podcast: In response to his Q: how would you know something is different other than its behavior (and generally what would make you grant AI personhood)? I would say… I would need to believe that I could have been in the AI shoes in a veil of ignorance way.

Suppose your model of intelligence requires (1) NOT imitation learning (2) NOT virtual environments, and (3) NOT compressed timelines, then what BENEFIT is there to training an “artificial” intelligence vs an “organic” intelligence. Isn’t the organic more good?

The problem with “reasoning” models is a limited conception of reasoning. Math/CS focus make it easy for it to understand internally consistent realms, and sensemake there. It also make it easier to have psychotic breaks. But harder to make sense of cloudy information.

The perception is that being a young, married homeowner with kids is structurally difficult... but the truth is I think a lot of people make it tougher on themselves then they need to... I think a lot it boils down to (perceived) opportunity cost... both current and future
