Selamat berakhir pekan!~

Adam Brown (@A_G_I_Joe) is back!
General relativity is said to be the most beautiful idea the human mind has ever produced.
Most of us will never get to fully appreciate its elegance by taking the 20-lecture graduate course Adam taught on it at Stanford.
But in the video below, Adam distills the key idea at its heart so clearly and compellingly that even I could keep up lol.
At the core of general relativity, Einstein is trying to figure out the principle behind a particular coincidence: that the mass that resists acceleration and the mass that gravity pulls on just happen to be exactly the same. Adam then leads us through the path of insight which Einstein called his โhappiest thought.โ
Then Adam lectures on black holes. First, by showing how even under special relativity you could create a perpetual motion machine if black holes weren't truly black. And then, by explaining why the observations of an infalling observer and a distant bystander to the black hole would be so radically different
Adam leads Blueshift, the team at Google DeepMind cracking science and reasoning.
Which gave us the opportunity to discuss at the very end how close we are to AIs that could rediscover general relativity from scratch. Stay till the close for some philosophy of science.
0:00:00 โ The coincidence that led Einstein to general relativity
0:16:42 โ Gravity is a consequence of curved spacetime, not a force
0:31:46 โ Why black holes prevent unlimited energy extraction
0:47:12 โ Black holes are the ultimate power plants
1:13:50 โ What falling into a black hole would actually feel like
1:18:51 โ The three ways we know black holes are real
1:24:21 โ The first time we saw gravity bend light
1:29:33 โ How far can AI get without experimental evidence?
Look up Dwarkesh Podcast on YouTube/Spotify to watch. Enjoy!
I've been using AI for coding for 6 weeks or more. The power is undeniable. But the risks and time sinks are just as undeniable. I'm still not convinced that my project wouldn't be just as far along if I'd written it myself.
I think of it as a carpenter who is adept at using hand tools and who has been given access to a power tool shop with every power tool there is. He needs to build a nice little cabinet. Would his first few projects take him longer just because he doesn't know how to use the power tools and has to throw out a bunch of messed up work?

@williamyaoh Stories and feelings have a better chance on changing people than arguments and reasons do. Do not make them think; make them feel. Share how your feelings change as you get more familiar with Haskell. Humans are not as rational as they believe they are. :)
