Tyler Cowen

The AI is already smarter than I am.

If there were some kind of like economics Olympics and I was up against O3, O3 would beat me.

That's not hypothetical.

That's today.

What's interesting is how little it matters.

Real depth.

So I use O3 a lot to ask it about classical music.

I'll say, well, I'm going to listen to Sibelius's First Symphony.

What should I listen for in the symphony?

It's remarkably deep.

You could almost say empathetic.

It just understands the stuff better, I think, than any human source you would find.

I do not expect huge job displacement.

There will be an enormous number of new jobs incorporating AI into the routines of established institutions and also building out new institutions.

Those new efforts will be a little slow.

And in the meantime, a lot of employers will be somewhat skittish about hiring more people.

I think it will change religion.

Some people will start to regard the AIs as oracles.

In some cases, even gods were in for some pretty big shocks.

I am ready.
