This is a great framing - would you please expound on it a bit. Software is almost exclusively gated by the "thinking" step, except for very large language models, so it would be helpful to understand the gates ("access to models or access to materials") in more detail.

Not all of it :) yet

iphone app is broken for me, and according to reviews, many others. I paid the $12 for full access and currently unplayable. Notes don't load, song does't start - help!

Once you identify what you need - you must also identify what the mentor will get out of the relationship. Primarily the mentor gets to feel high-value and appreciated. They may also be interested in hiring you or people you know. They may want to leverage your ideas or time - particularly on things that are not worth their time but are worth exploring. The relationship should not be exploitative, but should be mutually beneficial. You can indicate your value to them by doing some homework. Cold email is great, but have a specific question - "I'm interested in AI but having a hard time finding the right role to transition into the field - do you see good areas for me to apply my loosely related skill-set and get a toe-hold?".

I was squarely in the author's camp and am now a little less so having seen the impact of false positives on my family. Anxiety is real and harmful, and humans are generally very bad at responding to tiny, explicit risk of big harm (small nodule in lung that may be cancer or not, covid, vaccine side-effects, shark attacks).

Good point, thank you. I grew up playing with army men and cap guns, and don't think I would encourage my kids to do the same.

I've been thinking about writing a kids book with Red and Green armies waging a battle in their tummy and feeding green things helps the good guys win. Too many red (fats, sugars, simple carbs) arm the baddies. Maybe a child psychiatrist would tell me this is a horrible idea, so I haven't asked any. :)

This very quickly gets into "what's the point of it all?" and I'll admit that I don't have the answer. :)

I believe founders/companies can and do "cause broad negative economic impacts for their own enrichment", but creating a lower-cost path to the same good/result is a good thing fundamentally. Yes, this can cause greater income/life-experience inequality, and we should adjust for that, but in ways that do not punish innovation. In short, we should optimize for human happiness by better sharing the wealth rather than by limiting it.

Video games provide this lesson relatively cheaply. The next level is tantalizing but the high of winning lasts...5 minutes? 1 day? The intensity of what you describe is not felt in this example, but going through that cycle 20 times is instructive.

Another way to look at it: In life/happiness, optimize for the area under the curve, not for a single high point.

How does bookmarking work/How do I keep track of how far I've read while replaying from Batch? Will you also index by date? It can take a long time to replay a lot of data; do you have any numbers on the read rates you support per topic?
