This is a link post. (written for a Twitter audience) Has AI progress slowed down? I’ll write some personal takes and predictions in this post. The main metric I look at is METR's time horizon, which measures the length of tasks agents can perform. It has been doubling for more than 6 years now, and might have sped up recently. By measuring the length of tasks AI agents can complete, we can get a continuous metric of AI capabilities. Since 2019, the time horizon has been doubling every 7 months

Sun Tzu wrote, “He will conquer who has learnt the artifice of deviation. Such is the art of maneuvering.” Straight lines are for statues. You? You're alive. You're in the fight. You're chasing something that matters. And if you're going to win, you've got to be willing to bend, to swerve, to adapt. Sun Tzu wasn’t talking about being sneaky for the sake of being clever—he was speaking about the power of flexibility. The power of moving like water, not like stone. Of knowing when to zig when t...

First off, every ethical argument for having children is dominated by other options that are more effective. 1) If you’re worried about population issues, just donate $10k to bednets. That's roughly the equivalent of two extra children existing in the world. If you only care about population issues in your own country, then there are undoubtedly charities that save/create more lives in your own country that are cheaper than having your own children. I would also recommend questioning your

This is a link post. This is a personal essay about my failed attempt to convince effective altruists to become socialists. I started as a convinced socialist who thought EA ignored the 'root causes' of poverty by focusing on charity instead of structural change. After studying sociology and economics to build a rigorous case for socialism, the project completely backfired as I realized my political beliefs were largely psychological coping mechanisms. Here are the key points: Understanding the

Essays like Paul Graham's, Scott Alexander's, and Eliezer Yudkowsky's have influenced a generation of people in how they think about startups, ethics, science, and the world as a whole. Creating essays that good takes a lot of skill, practice, and talent, but it looks to me that a lot of people with talent aren't putting in the work and developing the skill, except in ways that are optimized to also be social media strategies. To fix this problem, I am running the Inkhaven Residency. The i...

Sun Tzu wrote, “Ponder and deliberate before you make a move.” And in this world of noise, speed, and distraction, that advice is pure gold. We live in a time where pressure pushes you to act now, decide now, move now—or get left behind. But what if that rush is a trap? What if that urgent feeling to leap without thinking is exactly what leads to failure? Sun Tzu, one of the greatest military minds in history, reminds us that strategy isn’t born from impulse—it’s forged in silence, in stillne...

* With sufficiently large and entrenched companies. There's a semi-common meme on Twitter where people share their most X opinion, where X is a group the poster doesn't identify with; or sometimes my least X opinion, where X is a group they do identify with.https://x.com/Aella_Girl/status/1899029178856710572 In that spirit, my least libertarian opinion is that exclusivity deals with sufficiently entrenched companies[1] are bad and should be illegal[2]. To make it even less libertarian, I think it

Sun Tzu wrote, When you plunder a countryside, let the spoil be divided amongst your men. This isn’t just about ancient warfare. It’s about leadership. About honor. About understanding that victories aren’t truly victories unless everyone who fought beside you shares in the reward. Whatever you’re building—a business, a team, a dream—you are not doing it alone. And if you think you are, you’re setting yourself up to fall. Because no one climbs the mountain alone. No one survives the battlefie...
