Image prompt: Two chunky podcast microphones on stands beside two empty chairs at the edge of a flat turquoise swimming pool with hand-drawn white squiggle ripples, the whole scene built as a grid of slightly offset and overlapping photo panels that almost align, flat saturated acrylic colors of pool blue, terracotta pink, lawn green and hot yellow under even white noon light, hard-edged shapes with no shadows or modeling and a visible tablet-drawn line.

Andrej Karpathy thinks AGI’s impact on the economy will just be folded into the existing rate of growth. AI will be barely noticeable in GDP statistics. When he came on the show, I pushed back, saying AGI will cause a massive jump in productivity and growth. Watch our

I think it is really worth reading this piece on RSI at Anthropic. There is a bit of navel-gazing, some marketing, and a lot of very sincere beliefs about what Anthropic thinks is likely in the near future of AI that you probably want to be aware of.

Today I’m publishing a new essay, Policy on the AI Exponential. AI is progressing extremely fast–much faster than the policy process was built to handle. The essay lays out where I think the technology is now, and the action needed to close the gap:

AI is advancing at a pace our policymaking institutions were never built for–and the gap between the two is becoming the central challenge of the technology. In his latest essay, our CEO Dario Amodei lays out how to close it. We’re launching three new initiatives to support the

The New York Times published a roundtable discussion between @DAcemogluMIT, @deanwball, @clarashih & myself about the future of AI & who wins at work. I think it is a really nice overview of the core debates on the topic, and has some fun examples.

Economics of AGI episode w Alex Imas and Phil Trammell. There’s a bunch of important questions about how we deal with AI that only economics can answer. What is the optimal way to tax and redistribute the wealth that will be generated? How should countries not in the AI supply
https://x.com/dwarkesh_sp/status/2062574759628661215

How should we think through various proposals for sharing the gains of AGI? According to @pawtrammell and @ansonwhho, the leading proposals for universal redistribution after AGI differ along a primary axis: how much direct control over capital they propose giving citizens. 🧵

Whose preferences will determine the shape of the far future? Alex Imas and Phil Trammell debate: – Alex speculates that humans who have an intrinsic preference for other humans, and have a moral objection to AI services, will be better at finding other humans to reproduce with.
