Stumbled upon Deutsch's book, just like how I stumbled into naval information. I am 21, but we'll see how much advice I can get and how well it works. So far since 18, it has been beneficial in 3 domains: knowledge, financial, and inner peace wise.
Naval: is this an argument for spreading your ideas rather than having children David Deutsch: well as David fredman says if the world is worth saving it's worth saving at a profit . and I would generalize it. if the world is worth saving it's worth saving with fun
People need to stop thinking about AGI in terms of today's computers. 30 years from now, the memory and processing power will be close to infinite - that's the point of the singularity. There is so much compute that compute is no longer a problem. Foom can't happen now. Foom can happen when we have 3D processors using alien architectures designed by AI years from now
P-lease keep these coming. Am super curious about David’s work on his book ‘Irrationality’. Of course David doesn’t want to be pinned down on giving objective advice, which of course would be almost worthless as it lacks application. But I’d love to hear about you, David and Brett go about solving actual problems in the present-day. How are you solving the ‘addictive screen time and fast food’ problem of raising kids, Naval? How are you going about clarifying the problem that AirChat is meant to solve? What is your process of improving the app, when there is no guarantee of its success or need - or is that already a proven case for you? How is David tackling problems in constructor theory? What are current problems he is actively working on? What does his process look like? What are the problems Brett wants to solve after having explained both of David’s book, the work of Chiara and Popper? How does Brett go about monetising his knowledge? He obviously has a deep understanding of physics and epistemology, what is his approach towards wealth? (I am still wondering about that part in my life - how will I make my wealth - while faithfully studying movement efficiency and motor skill learning as these are my main areas of interest, next to understanding fundamental knowledge.) Of course not all of these question might be appropriate, but getting to hear more about how the 3 of you go about solving actual problems in your life would be so insightful.
Sir, if you were a medical student into machine learning and using AI to create an impact in healthcare and disrupt the industry, how would you go about it? What path would you suggest a newbie medical student who is really into developing Brain Computer Interface tech and technology like Nexus (Ramez Naam)? Should he look into pursuing engineering/something like that at MIT/Harvard ?
You are asking a way too general question... If you really wanna build something useful, go specific into the thing... Wanna disrupt Healthcare with AI/ML, exactly how? Why you, why can't others with years of experience under belt? Are you really deeply interested in the thing or using it as an escape route from the reality?
@@navjot5445 Really appreciate your response. Thank you for directing me to think more deeply. There is a lot of growth happening in machine learning with respect to pathology and radiology. The majority of health care workers, physicians included are unaware. There has been a growth of large number of companies all the way from Path AI to Galena Health, focusing on this approach. But having a better software wouldn't solve the real issue since the ability to deploy in a common clinical setting is not really accounted for. As for the brain Computer Interfaces part, it is going to be the next VR / AR experience. Even Mark Zuckerberg has publicly stated it in his insta post 3 days ago. Apart from having paralysed people walk, blind people see and make lots of other miracles happen, it is going to be the future of computing. Skill acquisition in the least amount of time and learning at exponential rates with high bandwidth BCI is going to be the future. Ray Kurzweil has predicted this tech to be available by 2033. So this is where I am at. I'm confused in medical school. If the way to really impact a billion lives is by working on these exponential tech, I really don't look forward wasting the next 5 years of my life, just learning enough to be a cog in the machine, another replacement, which is why my question. Naval sir has the uncanny ability to read through and see through stuff (metaphorically) and hoped that he could provide some direction. Ever since I found him, life has never been the same. Every time I find someone who loves to read in college, I give my physical copy of The Almanack of Naval Ravikant book, which I've read over and over. I recommend every friend of mine to read sirs material and a lot of people have benefitted and reached a higher level of awareness and understanding through his work. I apologise for putting such a vague question in the first place and thank you for redirecting me. Peace and Blessings 🙏
You need to give him A LOT more pushback. Most questions he's asked he just misrepresents to the level of his ignorance and builds his arguments against a malformed strawman of the question without any correction or intervention from anyone. Especially with twin studies, but also theories of mind, neuroscience, education, and creativity (which you talk about without defining it first, despite also talking about how difficult it is to have shared definition). Listening to this was - while occasionally thought provoking - largely a waste of time. It's people talking about things outside their field of expertise, seemingly without realising it. Baseless speculations about things that are, largely, already fairly well established facts in their respective fields. I did stop listening 45 minutes in so there's a chance they say "April Fools" at the end, in which case I'm the one with egg on my face.
