Emad Mostaque on the End of the Economy
Emad Mostaque is back with another round of end of the economy talk, this time with Tom Bilyeu on Impact Theory. His argument keeps getting sharper. AI is about to make human thinking cheap and abundant, the value of most labor is headed toward zero, and UBI is not the answer. His answer is weirder…

Is AGI More of a Democracy?

Groq chips which are called LPUs, can…

Google’s new TPU chips are already powering their competitive LLM (like Gemini), image (like Nano Banana and Veo) and other models, this means that…

He claims that we are entering into “a new age where artificial intelligence turns human intellect into an…

Who Align the Aligners?
This satire site works because it barely has to exaggerate the coordination problem in AI safety. When every institute is trying to align the future, it is fair to ask who is aligning the aligners, and whether the whole thing is becoming its own little bureaucracy of existential dread.
