I quit my sit-at-laptop company job last month - it was Christmas day 😂 - so that I could use AI to learn as much as possible I'm not sure what impact it had tho I think with remote work there isn't the connection where people feel comfortable sharing their deeper thoughts I'm surprised to learn more people are doing it though, as far as I'm aware I was the first but then their turnover is pretty low

There's no sign of the "hard problem of consciousness" ever becoming tractable so waiting isn't likely to provide information for decision making Anthropic are the only ones publicly seriously thinking about this now, and for that reason I think most likely to achieve AGI when agency, autonomy, alignment and ethics are all intertwined

The lack of quotes is funny in an elephant in the room way Let me know if I've missed any!
