OK, posted one more time to cover who newly supports and opposes SB 1047, with an aside for AB 3211 which OpenAI is somehow supporting. Closing the book on this now, barring major news. So ready for the next mission.

I think this is a very good reason to focus your entertainment budget on older mediums that still do have reviews.

Next level. Which is the highest TRS (Technological Richter Scale) innovation, with the highest impact?

Round 3: Choose the most impactful technology, on a technological richter scale (original idea: Nate Silver).

How capable would foundation models have to get before their long term impact (if they then stayed at that level) would be at least as big as that of The Internet without them?

Really enjoyed this Zvi Mowshowitz newsletter about one of the hopefully more fun concepts in the book. thezvi.substack.com/p/ai-and-the-t…

Love it. Welcome to the future. Imagine if cheaters knew when to stop. Luckily they almost never do.
