Gray Tribe

One other thing that worries me is how a lot of recent SV tech rhetoric is much more nationalist than before. Ensuring "we" win the global competition. People being tribal is inevitable and can sometimes be channeled toward good, but it's not the sort of thing you want from a global technological vanguard community. I much prefer the old SV that idealistically identified itself with the progress of all of humanity.

One reason I really appreciate crypto is that I think it still has that spirit.

Much more into

“how can we make it so one authoritarian state can’t take over the world? How can we make AI drive abundance for everyone?”

vs “how do we beat China?”

When you try to do “how do we beat China?” people inevitably argue for closed source models and regulated compute.

But that doesn’t stop whoever wins AI from becoming an authoritarian regime

In fact making sure only a few people in one country have access to the top models pretty much guarantees an authoritarian regime.

Yeah I grabbed this one in the fall and was sentimental about my old pfp and finally switched.

Feeling good!
