Fascinating post. I appreciate how it challenges conventional wisdom and I’ll have to spend more time thinking these points through.
One thing that confused me though is that this is exactly the kind of post I would haved imagined someone writing if they were trying to defend the Anthropic bet and my understanding was that you were opposed to this?
That’s the whole point! It’s trying to grapple with the tension I feel from the first post, and about trying to make the strongest case available for that kind of work (in order to synthesize some reasonable principle).
