Lengthy and somewhat low in density. Favorite quotes:

Plenty of that knowledge is, though, quite siloed in different areas. But sometimes there are “grand analogies” to make—say pulling an idea from relativity theory and applying it to biological evolution. In a sense such analogies reveal new abstractions—but to make them requires knowledge that spans many different areas. And that’s a place where bigger brains—or AIs—can potentially do something that’s in a fundamental way “beyond us”.

But, OK, will it always take an “expanding brain” to keep up with the “expanding knowledge” we have? Computational irreducibility guarantees that there’ll always in principle be “new knowledge” to be had—separated from what’s come before by irreducible amounts of computation.

Lets take Mensa iq tests with a few grains of salt.

O3 public Norway Mensa iq test 136. Private test 116. Significant increase over 11 months.

Yeah, you can click on both public and offline version. When things move from top x% to about average, the top 1% doesn't mean much at all.

It felt solid.

Or tts a web page

Since you know it's not ai written, and very unlikely AI influenced, you are saying you can't distinguish the two. Im not claiming I can.

How do we know it's not. Maybe PG wrote it and had AI "clean it up" or "transform it" for a particular audience, or any number of things AI might have conjured up here. If you cannot demonstrate that PG wrote the entirety of this himself with no AI help, then your comment is mostly worthless.

Every chatgpt and google Gemini models thought the post was about camera angles examples except Gemini flash.

Somebody check for Trojan horses. (Ref to Ken Thompson)

if you check GP, you might agree he is very helpful. Btw, he is the author of the article posted.

I'm aware, thanks, but it could have been anyone saying that AI won't threaten your job. It's still a big claim.

I still think this link is hn relevant. We sometimes paint ourselves too narrowly.
