Not experiencing that. But I'm utterly exhausted. The speed at which development is now possible makes more possible. And the increases on what's possible are beginning to grow somewhat exponentially. It feels like the start of something very big and scary, and it feels like if I don't keep going, I'm going to miss my moment to do something exceptional of true value or importance, not so much because someone else will get there first, but because these rapid technological shifts will, I think inevitably, lead to at least a moderate period of societal upheaval that will be difficult for us all to navigate. So, I feel an internal pressure to keep going, now, while it's somewhat easy to access these tools, even if it is expensive. But yes, I feel utterly zapped. My brain hurts. My eyes hurt. I actually hate it. I want my normal life back. I could just stop. But again - I am very worried about what come next. And I have at least a sense that if I just keep going, I'll be where I need to be when some inevitable and inforseeabke shift occurs.

Loved Project Hail Mary. Great characters arcs and nice cinematography. My favorite part was when the movie switched to vertical iPhone aspect ratio and Ryan Gosling made a quirky face directly into the camera and said “It’s Project Hail Mary time!”

I’m afraid most people don’t know that “programming” isn’t just computer-stuff. It’s actually really hard. It takes a lot of intelligence to do well. If AI can take programmer jobs, they’re going to be able to take a lot of other jobs as well.

In some takeoff scenarios, the value of compute becomes too high to sell. The opportunity cost of selling the chips just becomes too high. Eventually it becomes more profitable to keep chips rather than to sell them to anyone else. Not long after that, it may become vastly more profitable still. At that point, compute probably starts to look more like political currency.
