Re: Radicalism
I have heard, you should be concerned with achieving for yourself the ending of suffering before you try to help others.
Thus have I heard : practice itself is the expression of enlightenment, not a means to attain it. In striving to alleviate the suffering of others, we practise enlightenment itself, in its pure and natural form.

I’d say there are two ways AI can develop. One is the limitations of LLMs end up being exposed and the AI hype bubble does burst. The second is LLMs will prove to be a stepping stone to reasoning models, and we will have artificial general intelligence in a few more years. Which of the two it will be is really difficult to predict, you’d need to look in detail at the work being done on reasoning models at OpenAI, Deepmind and other firms at the cutting edge.
This my feeling too, I listened to an interview of Cal Newport today and he promoted a relatively more rosey picture. Saying that despite large efforts at increased compute thrown at AI the gains haven't been so great. So at least in the short term AGI isn't as likely, but that also means we may be facing an economic bubble that is about to burst, similar to the early .com bubble.
