We don't believe in failure. We believe in learning from an experiment and doing the next experiment. - Joe Betts-LaCroix

I was reading Kurzweil around the end of 1999, thinking this exponential rise in technology is going to happen. The curves are going to cross and that's going to be really cool to see. I hope I live that long. And I keep seeing these numbers like 2035, 2045... but it feels like it's happening right now.

I feel like I'm very lucky to be alive right now.

I had already come to terms with the notion that we're not necessarily going to understand how AI does its thing. We're going to become, at some point, spectators to science as it progresses.
