Interesting problems

I officially announce AI exhaustion: consuming an overwhelming amount of Artificial Intelligence updates daily is exhaustive. Time to take a break and think about Human Stupidity (Daniel Kahneman quote) instead.

The Tversky Intelligence Test was "The faster you realized Tversky was smarter than you, the smarter you were''. Well I take huge pride in being able to recognize highly intelligent people around me.

Describe yourself using three words.

Due to circumstances, I've revived RSS subscriptions lately and found a bunch of great sites I saved from many years ago. lessWrong is one of them. It's a forum about "Rationality". Cool idea that saw hundreds of interesting discussions every week.

Time to make it happen. We have strong AI and yet know so little about our biological bodies. Brain research by AI might help us find the next breakthrough. Who knows?

Throughout my life, one thing I enjoy profoundly is learning. Throughout teen ages I devoured hundreds of math problem books. During the last half year I brain washed myself with everything AI and it’s such a fascinating space. Still lots to learn and I’m quite excited to say the least.

More and more people will work for AI, just like CPUs work for GPUs.

When I open Pokémon go by accident, I tend to spend lots of time playing it, since it feels locally fun by winning battles and gaining rewards. Globally this is as close to complete waste of time as watching short videos. Still why should one care about wasting time given we have so much fun?
