Things I Am Currently Thinking About
- AI, Recursive Takeoff, Hard-limits, and Societal Impact Much what I have read this month (and last) has been about what the future of "AI" will look like and, more importantly, its impact on society. I have my opinions now (hard-limits, economically additive), but it is important to retain humility, and be able to update priors in the face of what could be a totally transformative technology.
Things I Am Currently Enjoying
- March Madness It is the best time of the year for college basketball fans. I am hoping my UConn huskies have what it takes to make a deep run this year.
- Gin My liquor of choice is gin. I was fortunate to be able to load up on very good craft gins while traveling in Asia. I was able to get some bottles from the Nong Distillery while in Taiwan. As a bonus, I was also able to score two bottles of Roku Gin from The House of Suntory from duty free during a surprise layover in Tokyo.
