• ACX/LW meetup Croatia with Scott Alexander!!!
  • was amazing obviously, had front row seats to Q&A
  • massive job loss, period of social unrest, highly unpredictable tech singularity, long timelines problems (demography, climate change) aren’t relevant because timelines are short
  • Met amazing people (tech VCs, startup people, education reformer).
  • even with a pause max time is 20 years (because chips & open source)
  • check out Kelsey Piper for education!
  • Talking about AGI & massive change with a group of people who take it seriously; the world is gonna change a lot. Need time to process everything.
  • I really like this: “I’m not informed about [domain], but I do defer to this [nerd] who spent a lot of time on it, and concluded Z. Sanity check with prediction markets.” Because nerds are unbuyable and spend a lot more time in a domain than I ever can.
• Thinking about visiting San Francisco in the summer, will get concrete tips.
• Sleepover at friend’s place!
