[Adel Ka @0x4D31]

interesting results. i’ll let you interpret them for yourself :) anyway, the purpose of this discussion was primarily to inform newcomers and analysts about the skills they should develop to grow in the field. while the answer might seem obvious to some, it may not be to many.

I do feel a sense of urgency to contribute to better individual and societal preparedness for a near-term prospect of increasingly powerful and autonomous AI.

As a first project, I am launching a series of analyses of AI analogies that I plan to turn into a book. I will post abbreviated texts here on X, for a longer newsletter format and future other formats have a look at https://t.co/svy2uK2kUc

This is a new adventure and a bit of a jump into cold water for me. It will probably take a while to find the right audience, right platforms, and the right content. So, I appreciate any feedback!
