    It's weird to be a student studying math / phys / CS right now and at the same time like following AI stuff. The content is beautiful and I like learning it, but at the same time there's this underlying sense of something urgent and insistent looming?

    One solution here is to just ignore it and live the life you'd live anyway, which is appealing on an aesthetic level. On the other hand if you believe this is one of the most important times you'll live and you want to be a part of what's going on... I don't know. Thoughts.

    Imagine you had powerful semantic search on your history, which could be linked to what you're currently reading — making your knowledge come alive. This is my POC for a personal and general purpose AI-powered search engine. Link to waitlist below 👇

    I wrote an essay about mindsets towards AI/the future, and in particular a growing sense of urgency I'm noticing how it can thwart our attempts at steering the future in directed, positive ways. it's about staying human as we approach the age of the machines
