Hi! Will you be publishing the Intensive curriculum? I’d be interested in that.
ai progress :) +++
ty for sharing your experience, esp. the time estimate!
i perceive my time at 21yo very high-value & think it’s important for young people to take themselves more seriously, but possibly low-value relative to where it may be at 30yo :’) hm hm
(compounding returns, returns to starting earlier, etc)
i like this post, but i would rather wait for the technology to improve. [the process seems very bandwidth-intensive right now, with unpleasant side effects](https://substack.com/home/post/p-58592878: “Ovaries go from walnut- to orange-sized” / dozens of subcutaneous injections). how much egg-freezing technological progress can we expect across the coming ~10yrs? the cost to career from time/bandwidth consumed by the freezing process also seems higher at young age than older. my impression is it seems like a ~100-hour endeavor.
Why falling labor share ≠ falling employment
i think it could be u-shaped: an initial hobbling followed by benefits from finer-grained self-control
We need to make ourselves people the models can come to with problems

my question to people with high p(doom): how did you rule out the possibility that you were overinflating the stakes to feel important—a failure mode any bias-aware person should worry about?
Thanks for writing this!

I came here to earnestly suggest @Owain Mogford work with an LLM to improve the clarity and presentation of this post (& future research posts).
Generally, I’d really appreciate more technical language than “rig”, “dials”, etc..
Also, sharing code, even if scrappy, might help us understand what exactly was run!
