tl;dr AGI is here, superintelligence is coming, but its impact on every person in the world and its dissemination into different verticals will take longer than we expect.
Life Mission
I’ve written about it before, and I feel the need to reiterate it as a preamble to the main point I want to make.
My life mission is to help everyone achieve their full potential. I’m starting with myself, and hope to do that for others in later chapters of my life.
Achieving your full potential is not easy, and itās something one has to want. If you don’t want it, you can stop reading now. If you do, I want to make sure there are no blockers.
What could limit it?
- The mind-body connection
- Capital to build. Finances to live.
- Access to the right people and information
- Supplements to enhance
- Time to rest and recover
- Resolving one-way health conditions or injuries
It’s a long list that I won’t get into now.
AGI is something that’s already here and can help everyone achieve their full potential, but it’s not evenly distributed.
AGI Distribution
History has had thousands of geniuses, very few of whom made it into the history books.
Either the timing of their abilities was wrong, or they had access to the wrong resources, or they just didnāt care enough to tell people.
Thomas Edison is a great example of someone who managed to distribute his genius far and wide.
This interview between Dwarkesh and Dario is amazing because Dario said that AGI is already here, but it’ll be years, if not decades, before the trillions of dollars of revenue arrive.
There are tons of people who don’t want to use AI, and many more who just use the tip of the iceberg.
In software, engineers love to use the coolest new thing as soon as it’s available, but very few other industries work this way.
The capabilities are already here, but they’re not evenly distributed. It won’t just happen. It’ll take time and concentrated effort.
To paraphrase William Gibsonās infamous quote:
AGI is already here, it’s just not evenly adopted.
