It's kind of endearing when people on a first date ask you cute questions like why Blackwell uses two reticle-limited dies connected by a 10 TB/s NV-HBI interconnect versus a monolithic design

Post-labor does not have to mean a skynet matrix-esque dystopia, that's a pessimistic extrapolation of current events and it is well within OUR collective responsibility to not create that world or one that remotely resembles it
Post-labor can be good, why should we not empower more humans to move on to do better more fulfilling things should they wish to do so? Would that not usher in growth in its own unique ways?
I'm not commenting on how we effectively get there, I am asking you to not fold your arms, say "AI is bad", and let a worse future come to pass than what could happen if we're responsible and adaptive
I will repeat this until my tongue falls out: we are headed towards a post labor society and either our socioeconomic models adapt with it, or we're looking at the worst century imaginable for everyone
My neuroticism and other components of my personality derived from childhood trauma can't be replicated with a few prompts and humanity's most promising frontier models, many have tried

I once wrote "chaos is a ladder" in an application to be a summer analyst at a deeptech fund and I got an email from the founder for an interview the same day and later the internship

I've spoken to businesses leveraging AI to help improve healthcare accessibility in rural areas
I've spoken to founders working on tools with AI that help teach and educate thousands of children, platforms that can personalxoe education for each child and account for their quirks and differences
I've spoken to people trying to leverage it for moonshot concepts that can save human lives
There is a varied list of things that we can all align on and go full steam ahead, together.
Not doing so will, again, cost a lot of lives. A lot of them.
To do this the right way, we need to abandon our preconceived notions surrounding an ideal sociopolitical structure and establish a completely new paradigm that accounts for where we are, and where we will rapidly head
This opinion will cost more human lives than it will save
Should we have better regulations? Yes, absolutely.
Is it out of control? Yes, in many ways. Tech leaders in the space have done a suboptimal job when it comes to engaging with the community and locals as it pertains to AI. The methods and means by which it has been brought with and shared with much of the general public has been irresponsible.
But do either of these things warrant a "pause" on advanced development? No
Artificial intelligence is not a scapegoat for the systemic issues with human society, it is not the root cause of all that is going to go wrong and it is not going to be why the socioeconomic fabric of society is going to erode.
It is an instrument through which that could be done, and it's our collective responsibility to make sure that does not happen.
Human civilization is more than capable of correcting course without having to pull the plug entirely.
I'm not making an argument for the economic opportunity cost, that pales in comparison to the human cost of what we won't be able to do if we do pause development entirely.
The drugs and therapies you expedite the process for
The democratisation of knowledge and advanced material at a scale previously considered imaginable
The accessibility of things like primary care for those that need it the most
So on and so forth
There are a lot of things we forget to take into account when we have this superficial conversation about artificial intelligence.
We say things like "pause all AI" because we may not fully see the scope of how and where it's implemented in manners that can bring about profound changes in our communities, and that's not the fault of the general public.
I'll reiterate: a lot of the important voices in AI have been thoroughly irresponsible with their communication, and the necessity to grow in a manner that far outpaces that of social adjustment.
Someone struggling to find work for months on end is not going to take it lightly when we say artificial intelligence is going to replace all jobs.
We are unable to reckon with the fact that we are going to head to a post labour society and our socioeconomic models need to adapt with it to make sure everyone is accounted for, not just a small percentage of folks. How that is done and what that can look like, we must figure out together.
What we can't do is turn away from what is one of the most important things humanity has developed in the entirety of its existence because we lack the sociopolitical will to do it the right way.
I envision a world in which we leverage this profoundly beautiful, and scary, thing we call AI to do more good for us all than we could have possibly imagined just a decade ago.
We're responsible for the people born yesterday, born today, and born tomorrow.
There's a better world out there and it is just in reach, and it's imperative we find the courage to build it instead of taking the easy way out.

If I was working at pandadoc as a rep and had unlimited access to Claude you can bet your ass I'd be using those tokens to not have to work at pandadoc so this directionally checks out
when i worked at pandadoc they had some of the dumbest reps i've ever met in my fucking life, all this proves is that they hire dumbasses

"Just saw you comment [insert comment] on John's post about CRM migra-" what if I kill myself in front of you and change the trajectory of our lives? What then?
Usually silly questions like this
The other formula that you see a lot of the time is affirmation of a specific piece of content within a post
Followed by really silly follow-up questions

Another interesting thing one of my GTMEs observed was that a very common Asian name ended up in spam more often than not relative to its British counterparts
Food for thought, albeit that test was conducted in 2018 so take it with a grain of salt
Reaching out to people with Male names and profile pictures of older men tends to perform better than female names with profile pictures of younger women in a study we did by reaching out to businesses across America
