@calcsam @emollick If you believe that AGI results in the pace of human innovation accelerating dramatically (eg look at the amount of time that passed between events in OpenAI's Superbowl ad), then it's commensurately harder to make predictions about a fixed number of years into the future.

@karpathy Based on your list I think you really need to try @Ada_Palmer's Terra Ignota series (first book is "Too Like the Lightning"). It deals in a lot of the themes you identify from both fiction and nonfiction.

@pcwalton Yes, please!

@SASBoomstick @MattHaneySF @CommunityNotes I really think the paper has nothing to say about this one way or another. It's about whether fentanyl or methadone is better to give to people in the ER.

@SASBoomstick @MattHaneySF @CommunityNotes Interesting study, I read it. It compares using fentanyl vs methadone in the ER to combat withdrawal symptoms and concludes they're mostly the same but methadone acts faster. That has nothing to do with jail or hospitalisation vs methadone treatment?

@PinstripeBungle You should read Terra Ignota, and that is all I'll say.

I wrote a thing about compiler IRs, programming languages, and ML in particular.

@penberg At the risk of tooting my own horn, I think this video from holds up pretty well.

@johnolilly I've had 16" M2 for a few weeks and I don't think the fan has ever turned in, even when I'm compiling or playing Factorio. Really impressive machine.

@joneschrisg @rocallahan Looking back isn't the past always a simpler time, more ripe for discovery? I feel like that can't be all that we need to understand something as prodigious as this.

@rocallahan Bach as an example?
