I got cited in a DeepMind paper for the first time today :)

You might have 1–5 years to contribute intellectually to the world before AGI. What should you do with them?
Excellent advice from @jaschasd (Anthropic) at Stanford. Skip Netflix tonight and watch this instead.

It's gonna be Cyberpunk 2077 with The Blackwall and rogue AI.
The proliferation of AI cyberattacks may signal the end of the internet as a public good. We may only be able to use it in the future if everyone shells out big bucks for private security. That will reduce the internet's economic value.

Growing up I had a friend who worked in a department store. She was always stoned at work. Only way through, she said.
Went shopping for the first time in a while, and whenever I asked a basic question ("which aisle are the rugs in?") almost every assistant paused for 5 or 6 seconds, staring at me in panicked confusion, before replying. Is this a (British?) Zoomer thing?

B: write off research, too late, start game company or something?
C: write off all, too late. Play music at bars, make perfect dating app profile?
