Dr. David Eagleman

When I really think about it, this is the thing that inspires me, not what you suggested.

So somebody could put effort into it.

I think understanding this, it's probably not two categories, but a spectrum from vicious friction to virtuous friction.

But really paying attention to what is virtuous friction, what would make me a better person if I actually put the effort into this, that matters a lot.

And I will say...

For us as professors, for you looking for job candidates, we need to change how we're asking the questions.

If we just say, hey, answer these five questions, of course everyone's going to use it.

For example, in my classes at Stanford, I don't have people turn in a final paper anymore.

That was from...

previous life before AI.

Now I have them do projects as their final thing where they're running an experiment on something.

And of course, they use AI to help them generate some of the issues, but they have to deal with other people and look at the data and figure out what's wrong and that kind of stuff.

This is the whole game for all of us, I think, is figuring out how to surf this wave of AI where it can make us superhuman.

We can just be better, so much better than anything we ever were doing before.

Because we have immediate access to knowledge and facts that either we had forgotten or we never knew existed.

And so we should be surfing that wave.

So I totally agree with you on that point.

If you can figure out how to change your interview questions so that you're seeing, hey, can this person really get the speed?

Interesting.

Look, I've been talking to my friends about this issue a lot lately, and I mentioned how I've become so much better at home improvement stuff.
