A man, after he has brushed off the dust and chips of his life, will have left only the hard, clean questions: Was it good or was it evil? Have I done well—or ill?

we’re in the singularity. no one knows what’s coming next. the only certainty is that the next few years are going to be weird.

Q3.5 Timelines Update: Looks Like the Intelligence Explosion Will Happen in 2027 After All We wanted to get this post out quickly given the urgency of the topic. Open blog.aifutures.org

Now, all of us forecast that Superhuman AI Researcher (SAR) will likely arrive at some point in 2027 (assuming no substantial deliberate slowdown). We also predict a 35-65% chance that Top-Expert-Dominating AI (TED-AI), AIs that can automate all white-collar work, will arrive before 2028.

discussion with my dad today.

if we believe in separating art from the artist, shouldn’t we also accept AI-generated art? if art should be judged on its own, why should it matter who or what created it?

it matters to me, but i’m not sure if that’s logically consistent.

i feel like engineering knowledge matters less and less when it comes to building great software products.

you don't necessarily need to know how to solve a technical problem anymore. you just need to understand what you're trying to achieve.

most of the time, a good frontier model can translate "make search faster and improve the UX" into the same technical decisions an experienced engineer would make.

engineering experience still helps, especially with logical reasoning and systems thinking. but i think product understanding, taste, and communication skills are becoming far more important.
