This writing reminds me that trying to read every single papers right after gpt4 published. I was kind of obsessed with this period is a very important era which could be an inflection point. However the change was slightly slow than I expected. Already two years passed and not breaking changes yet. So a year ago, I changed my strategy to do not read all minor papers and focused on my long-term project. This approach shares insight with the reading since it pursues a longer marathon than 100m running and get everything. I realized AI progress is a bundle of procedure with negotiating, not winner takes all at least so far
I’ve also heard a number of people tell me that EA or AI safety efforts caused them to lose the ability to have serious hobbies, or serious intellectual interests, and I would guess this was harmful to long-term AI safety potential in most cases.
I leftover all minor details in my life like organizing things and photos and memos. This is really tiny stuffs but when the time metric bigger, it accumulates and become a mountain. It took few months to get rid of them as I always did before everyday. Nowadays, I am still finding the balance between productivity and urgency and this is treating same problem mentioned in the writing.
