And I'm fine to get to a world where the social norms evolve that everybody can just send each other the bullet points.
No one knows.
But I think the more interesting answer is what is a human useful for today?
And I would say being useful to other people.
And I think that'll keep being the case.
I think that someone said to me, this was Paul Buchheit many, many years ago that really stuck with me as he had been thinking and thinking and thinking.
This is like before OpenAI started.
He thought that someday there was just going to be human money and machine money, and they were going to be completely separate currencies, and one wouldn't care about the other.
I don't expect that to be literally what happens, but I think it's a very deep insight.
Fascinating.
I've never thought about machines having their own currency.
You will be thrilled that the AI has invented all of the science for you and cured disease and
you know made fusion work and just impossible triumphs we can't imagine but will you care about what an ai does versus what some friend of yours does or some person running some company does i don't know probably not that much now like maybe some people do maybe there's like some really weird cults around particular ais and i will bet we'll be surprised the degree to which we're still very people focused
This is me in like GPT-4 mode instead of 01 mode where I just have to like one shot it, you know, as quickly as I can.
I'll put the next token.
I think a fast takeoff is more possible than I thought a couple of years ago.
How fast?
Feels hard to reason about, but something that's in like a small number of years rather than a decade.
Wow.
What do you think is the worst advice people are given on adapting to AI?
