TT has been pretty bad at predicting or having an accurate world model of this stuff as far as I can tell. People give him a lot of deference because he’s a math genius and tbf to him he does have an open mind to a certain extent but he seems to struggle to publicly speak about the implications of current trajectories beyond 6 months
Yeah I find generalised deference strange, it’s like a weird prestige status-related Ra thing. Maybe I’ve just seen too many examples of world-class domain-specific geniuses being just not very impressive outside of their domains.
Yes it just seemed like a relevant time to bring this up, we don’t discuss TT that much here so I figured I’d say my 2 cents if people then go look him up and watch his recent interviews.

What do you mean specifically? This post isn’t about the “implications of current trajectories beyond 6 months”.
