Hey Friends! My 2nd Weekly Digest.
A ton of research on artificial intelligence this week. Was able to squeeze some random blogs but overall it was painful immersion to the problem of alignment
Last week’s progress!

Is transformative AI a threat to professional jobs? - I hope I am wrong in my take on how AI systems can take away information and tech jobs in the future.
Wednesday - 15Feb2023

8 billion Gods - is a revamped version of my classic blog in 2019. With the technological access we have in modern world - we are easily becoming as capable as the Gods of old.

Sunday - 19Feb2023
Pain and meaninglessness - Which one is harder to solve? which one do you prefer to have as a problem? I’d choose pain every second of the day.
