I’m nominating this somewhat both in its own right and somewhat as a represenative of all Ray’s posts.
While AI has become the urgent and dire matter where so much attention has concentrated, I feel like Ray perhaps more than anyone else I can name, has kept alive the OG vision of improving human rationality. I find it hard to prioritize this kind of training and skill gains, but I think what Ray names likely is just really good to do, is in some ways basic and obvious, and stuff I do sometimes, but not always. So I’m glad Ray did this work even though it seems he hasn’t continued it.
I’ll be interested to see he’s reflections after another year.
