@atheendar.bsky.social(Still page 5) “Today, it’s clear not only that AGI is possible but also that, in some sense, the hard part is already done.” 🤯😡 Okay, so the problem for me here is that my book pub date is 2.5 months from now. And the thesis of my book is (basically) “no it fucking is not. See: history.”
Show PostIt is true that most of us spend our time studying smaller-scale, more technical issues. But doesn't that make sense? UCSF operational leaders and EHR vendors listen to me and read my work and (sometimes) make decisions based off of it. And that work provides the micro-foundation for larger debates.
Show PostI suppose there is some truth to this in the sense of volume of publications, but in terms of field leadership it would be hard read the recent output of Amy Finkelstein or David Cutler and come away thinking they aren't aren't studying the impact of large macro events!
