Thanks, Michael. I set my work aside to read this when I saw it come through. I look forward to your next thoughts and updates on A.I.

I had another realization - sort of separate from my typical thoughts of "what will the world be like (for our kids especially)..." which is this:

I feel that the goals (personal and professional) that I have established for the next 5-10 years need to happen in the next 2-3.

Or maybe more appropriately - "how can I compress my 3 year goal(s) into the next 12 months?" And, "what should I stop doing now?"

Not necessarily from a doomsday perspective, but simply because opportunities will shift.

I find your articles fascinating in many ways.

I subscribed to your stuff for a couple of years but now finally getting to read the articles.

The AI subject is interesting on its own, however this article peaked my interested since you had a couple of interviews with scientists and I find their body language and speech speed interesting, especially since I come from a world of human performance. It is super slow and maybe I am judging but in the interview with Ray its almost as if he is looking for solutions to being mentally lazy? At least thats what I got from it.

To one of your points in jumping all in or cautiously approaching AI based on example of Maderna and MRNA vaccines, as the aftermath of them is unfolding and all the side effects are being brought to light I would conclude that a cautious approach with proper safeguards might be a good one.
