We outsource what we don't value.

  • We outsource what we don't value.
    • What kind of thinking is worth doing ourselves?
    • Is insight compute bound or attention bound?
      • LLMs don't help with the former.
    • Not cheaper cognition but richer intention.
    • The cheaper thinking is, the more important slow thinking becomes.
    • When thinking becomes cheap, will it 10x the industry's addiction to heroics?
    • I'd rather that instead of thinking becoming faster it becomes deeper.
