I do like the vibe of Acemoglu but somehow don't remember any concrete recommendations either.. I've submitted https://youtu.be/e5O1Y-5phEU in the spirit of trying to strengthen the meat of his ideas (a la Nietzsche) but I don't get it, not really..

What I'd actually like to reinforce is the pipeline of good ideas from the 99% to usage by the 99% without "passing through the 1%"

(Show HN is that? marginally less so these days "due to slop", but to me, it's that the best ideas don't look different from slop at first. Should Nietzsche apply here?)

Something as fundamental as the pattern-recignition integrator by which you became famous to me :)

How's that coming along as a real product. PostASI there's even more room for that sort of thing (imho)

    Ah the second one looks particularly promising.

    It even sounds like he's asking us to proactively prepare for the next future shock (Toffler)

re: pattern recognition, do you mean hof &| cue

I'm currently focused on Ai stuff, but I did add my custom agent into hof, but it needs more work / rewrite

I have intention to rename hof -> veg, currently rebranding around my long-time internet handle. Also very into harness engineering, zines, and bringing rationality back to the Ai conversation. Been asked to help work on legislation / regulations, not sure what that means yet, but doing a bunch of homework for when that gets going in January.
