That look great! Thanks for the prototype :) I like how you (or the LLM?) went far on the river esthetics with the wiggly cards

Great question!

I can see how AI will make the playdough world from the businessman into something liquid, maybe even superfluid. The only walls you see are latencies, physical laws or strong infrastructure bottlenecks. There is no humans to give order to, only actuators, your fingers are acting at a distance, not hitting the keyboard like the businessman.

Personally, I am interested in archetypes that take pieces of the tree and the businessman. Like how the ants is a chimera of the fly and the dog.

I agree that the speed of change makes it harder to develop deep practice, but I don't think it's a such a big blocker.

There are many instances of practices that need to generalize and evolve as the underlying tech changes: in cyber sec, every new tech is an opportunity for breaches, so the practice of the hacker/safety mindset needs to translate fast to every new development, in programming it is common for professionals to learn new languages / frameworks every 2-4 years.

Even if the models change every few months, I think it's fair to say we could imagine deep practice that don't depend on the specific details of a model but can translate to new models (more like the hacker mindset of cyber sec than the muscle memory of violin).

I also think it is possible to develop interfaces (like comfyUI) that creates a layer of practice that is independent of the model changes. For instance, you can learn workflow design patterns in how to combine LoRAs, and other adaptors that can generalize across models. Though it's probably limited currently as more advanced image generation model might make the whole LoRAs ecosystem obsolete.

Here is a choice: you could buy an alarm clock (I personally like this one ) and make your bedroom phone-free.

The Balkan house analogy has been almost literally applied to the architecture of the seat of the European Parliament in Strasbourg. It is an unfinished amphitheater symbolizing the ever going construction of the Union.

Nope, I didn't know PaCMAP! Thanks for the pointer, I'll have a look.

In section 5, I explain how CoEm is an agenda with relaxed constraints. It does try to reduce the alignment tax to make the safety solution competitive for lab to use. Instead it considers there's enough advance in international governance that you have full control over how your AI get built and that there's enforcement mechanism to ensure no competitive but unsafe AI can be built somewhere else.

That's what the bifurcation of narrative is about: not letting lab implement only solution that have low alignment tax because this could just not be enough.
