How AI Can Help Humanity Reason Better (with Oly Sourbut)

I also know my previous self, when I worked in the government, I would also have used such tools if they were good and trustworthy.

And I know some of my colleagues today would, my former colleagues who still work there would today.

So there is this demand.

Certainly, this is kind of the more kind of institutional context.

I'm sure there are other kinds of contexts.

So there are certainly things like investment decisions and this kind of discipline.

There's a lot of demand there for tooling as well.

Whether we specifically want to kind of differentially enable better investment decisions, I think that's not like high on our priority list, but certainly enabling better decision-making.

I also think there is a more widespread demand for better sense-making as a society.

How AI Can Help Humanity Reason Better (with Oly Sourbut)

I do believe this somewhat tentatively, but I actually have a fairly strong feeling of this.

I have my own sort of biased and filtered view onto what even society is and who is in society and the people I meet and so on.

But I also get the sense from, I get the sense of there's a kind of a zeitgeist, maybe that's too strong a word, but there's a latent desire and a recognition that we need better sense-making.

Part of the trouble is I think people don't diagnose what that means for them and for their communities and so on.

Community Notes is a great example.

So this has really taken off and the desire is there and people use it.

And in part, that's because it's integrated into a workflow that people are already using, namely browsing Twitter, but also other platforms.

And this is another thing we're kind of trying to work on is can we get systems like Community Notes adopted in other platforms?
