AI has been here long before LLM’s… also I dislike the people seemingly tying the two terms together as one.

Because there is an obsession re. Financial wealth as opposed to the creation of real wealth.

The two are not the same. The connection between the two has seemingly been lost.

I don’t really agree with this. Sure there are standards but there are underlying first principles with some quirks to make things balance.

The damage has already been done.

Much like how if you stop going gym you lose muscle mass, the same happens with knowledge and understanding with the brain.

The fact you have to post your second paragraph to me proves for all of LinkedIn’s bluster, it’s really a sub-par platform and unfortunately has too much market power to be challenged.

I don’t believe in the communism vs capitalist debate. The latter has furthered progress so clearly there are benefits to be had. But yet the dream of the former continues on.

Someone who is more open to a “take the best of what exists” is what is needed.

Appreciate the positive sentiment.

Hello chamath

Yes that’s exactly what I mean.

I’m working on stuff that I can’t say too much about. But let’s just say there is a way out from this - but it will require the smartest minds and folks starving for change to come together and create the change we want. Sometimes an environment that creates a desperate need for change can be a good thing.

It’s not going to happen via politics. It has to come by being creative from the outside in.

Anything that is core to the function and well being of a state, being owned by a foreign nation poses a national security risk.

The U.K. has been stripped and laid bare of its assets since the era of privatisation. The U.K. needs to wake up and start innovating to take back control.

Nobody in finance holds a high opinion of Chamath.

I believe intelligence is difficult to pin down in words but easy to spot intuitively - and so are deltas in intelligence.

E.g watch a Steve jobs interview and a Sam Altman one (at the same age). The difference in the mode of articulation, simplicity in communication, obsession over details etc are huge. This is what superior intelligence to me looks like - you know it when you see it.
