Hi, I’m Eigenbraid. I read the sequences back in the LessWrong 1.0 era. Now that LLMs are becoming a big thing, I want to get back into this community—I still think of it as the “OG” place for discussions of AI. I’m also on Twitter (x.com/eigenbraid).
I’m super-curious about these weird new minds we’ve created: I want to get to know them, and what they are right now. I’m also fascinated and alarmed by the potential for AGI/ASI sometime in my life time.
It feels like there’s a bunch of scattered communities that have each figured out part of the AI puzzle and I’m trying to pull together a complete picture for myself. The cyborgism community (x.com/repligate/ and such) takes a very different approach from LessWrong, for instance. I’d love to hear about other clusters out there on the cutting-edge of the discussion.
