This is actually a pretty hard question for me because you’re basically asking. Do you want the power to be able to change the world in radical ways by giving up your life? Suicidal Brewster’s millions..

I'm not sure I'm convinced a trillion dollars in one person's hand could radically change the world. Money is a big deal, to be sure, and money gives you a lot of power, but there's so much else when it comes to politics and power that I expect there would be many roadblocks in your way.

And on top of that, it's possible -- perhaps even easy -- to deploy vast sums of money in well-meaning ways that turn out to have disastrous unintended consequences. I don't think I'd want that kind of responsibility.


The world, no. An 9industry, yes. That's more money than many industries make in years. Of course injecting that into any stage can impact the fate of the sector.

Or you can waste it on a year of AI development. It's not ironclad.

>it's possible -- perhaps even easy -- to deploy vast sums of money in well-meaning ways that turn out to have disastrous unintended consequences. I don't think I'd want that kind of responsibility.

Given my current life, I'd rather try something different than have decades more of statis quo.


I mean, you could self fund any political candidate on the planet for the years you had left. That alone could radically change the world. I’m always impressed at the low cost of “lobbying” in politics. You could fund a moon base! A trillion dollars is bonkers money. It’s also different from “paper billionaires” who have resources tied up in stock.

Maybe it’s nfc not qr.

The easy way is to create criminal laws for environmental damage for company leaders like we do for financial crimes.

What I discovered is different models are simply just better at different things and it’s very hard to predict which one will be better than the others at a certain task. Thus no one has similar experiences as no one is doing the same things the same way ever.

For anyone reading who may be swayed- he is wrong about politics. Politics is how people with different views, beliefs and ideas come together to make decisions as a group. The alternative is force.

It has recently been hyper focused on us vs them (thanks newt and rush) but it’s just folks trying to figure out how to move forward and have their wants met. Politics is finding compromise. And if you are unwilling to find compromise you will eventually find the alternative to politics.


Pagers take SMS. The problem is finding modern pager service.

Companies are talking about needing trillions of dollars is why.

And the government backstops.

Nothing says confidence that AGI is imminent like needing the US government to prevent your investments from losing you money.


This us where agents actually shine. Having a smart model write code and plan is great and then having cerebra’s do ask the command line work, write documents effectively instantly and other simple tasks does sped things up quite a bit.

A trial is literally front and center on their website.

Only the dopamine sinks.
