Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

That's my suggestion.

Ground Truths

It can do tasks and itself improves.

Ground Truths

So O3 Pro will be out in a few weeks.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

It may be out by the time you're hearing this.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

I think that's obviously going to be better than just pure O3.

And then GPT-5, people have said, will be this summer.

Ground Truths

So every few months, there are major advances.

Ground Truths

And there's no sign of those stopping.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

That's not just repetition, if I put it down, say, on the internet.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

So there's no point in writing repetitions anymore, because the AI already knows those things.

Ground Truths
Tyler Cowen: The Prototypic Polymath

So the value of what you'd call broadly memoir, biography, anecdote, you could say secrets, is now much higher.
