Whether someone is optimist or pessimistic about AI seems to boil down to one of two mental models:

1. things have been ok and therefore things will be ok
2. this situation is different

Which are you?

@tunguz why is it an easy yes for you?

@ThanksRolf do you think you are not an automaton now?

@dustinthedad what if you couldn't go back and had to act on limited information?

@Andercot do you think you have free will now?

You have access to an algorithm that gives you the best physical, mental, and spiritual health of your life.
In exchange, you do what the algorithm says:

+ Go to bed when it says
+ Eat when it says
+ Exercise in the way it prescribes

Would you say yes or no?

AI is advancing faster than we can comprehend.

Encouragement: eat well, sleep well, love lots.

Tough love: get your fucking shit together. Show some self respect.

Which helps you more?

If your bedtime is 10 pm.
Be in bed at exactly 10 pm.

The body thrives with consistency.

Respect yourself.
