Like right now, you have powerlifters who go extreme on this direction.
So what is powerlifting in a cognitive era?
Maybe it's people who are really trying to make Olympics out of knowing stuff.
Like...
And if you have a perfect AI tutor, maybe you can get extremely far.
I almost feel like we're just barely... The geniuses of today are barely scratching the surface of what a human mind can do, I think.
I'm similar for that matter.
I mean, a lot of people, for example, hate school and want to get out of it.
I really liked school.
I loved learning things, et cetera.
I wanted to stay in school.
I stayed all the way until PhD, and then they wouldn't let me stay longer, so I went to the industry.
But I mean, basically, roughly speaking, I love learning, even for the sake of learning, but I also love learning because it's a form of empowerment and being useful and productive.
Because it feels bad to bounce from material.
It feels bad.
You get negative reward from sinking an amount of time in something and this doesn't pan out.
Or like being completely bored because what you're getting is too easy or too hard.
So I think, yeah, I think when you actually do it properly, learning feels good.
And I think it's a technical problem to get there.
And I think for a while it's going to be AI plus human collab, and at some point maybe it's just AI.
