Some things I believe:
- On civilisation in the long-run
- the universe is hyper young, life on Earth an outlier
- civilisation minimises free energywhere markets provide all metabolic function, rarely calling for intervention
- healthy markets churn fast and democratise technological progress quickly
- On civilisation in the short-run
- democratisingLLMs will supercharge abundance
- human society maintains alignment at the triple point of "paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology"
- most scientific fields have seen diminishing returns for sixty years, with exceptions in classical computing and machine learningwhich will produce a knowledge explosion
- soon we will delegate research to Culture-Minds and manage personal presidential cabinets
- LLMs tread closer to the realm of natural abstraction—next stop: telepathy
- Thoughts on teams
- great teams are priceless and should be sought out
- teams function like vector fields where vector sum equals velocity
- the best companies are composed of small, ten person teams
- when making fiction commonplace, tell stories
- everyone has a common thread that connects the major decisions they make, listen to this instinct
