I listened to Dwarkesh interview Tyler Cowen on AI progress and other things. First half of the conversation was more interesting, quote that stuck with me (paraphrased): “Intelligence is not the bottleneck to clean water and electricity in Sub-Saharan Africa!”. Folks in white-collar knowledge professions are probably overestimating the immediate impact of AI.
What I’m up to
Hiking and running, getting back into a regular training plan routine. Ramping up to the start of my base progression, which will be 16 miles and 4000 vertical feet/week.
