Like anyone speaks five languages, because why not?
Because it's so trivial.
Anyone knows, you know, all the basic curriculum of undergrad, et cetera.
And I kind of feel like I am betting a little bit implicitly on some of the timelessness of human nature.
Yeah.
And I think it will be desirable to do all these things.
And I think people will look up to it as they have for millennia.
And I think this will continue to be true.
And actually also maybe there's some evidence of that historically because if you look at, for example, aristocrats or you look at maybe ancient Greece or something like that, whenever you had little pocket environments that were post-AGI in a certain sense,
I do feel like people have spent a lot of their time flourishing in a certain way, either physically or cognitively.
And so I think I feel okay about the prospects of that.
And I think if this is false and I'm wrong and we end up in like, you know, WALL-E or idiocracy future, then I think it's very, I don't even care if there's like Dyson spheres.
This is a terrible outcome.
Like I actually really do care about humanity.
Like,
Everyone has to just be superhuman in a certain sense.
Yeah, maybe.
I don't actually think that... I think there will be a transitionary period where we are going to be able to be in the loop and advance things if we actually understand a lot of stuff.
I do think that long-term, that probably goes away, right?
But maybe it's going to even become a sport.
