Thanks for another great post. I especially liked the short story for how it vividly illustrates the unintended consequences of regulation, especially in healthcare.

Fantastic post. You are making good on your I-AI 337 focus. There is certainly a connection between your story and the potential for smaller models like Persimmon-8B. The large models will command and control, but smaller models will be the advanced forces that discover new opportunities for innovation. With care we can find a way to feed the successes and failures of the smaller models back to the central models without putting the FBI in charge. 🙏

I love your fictional 2032 story. The funny thing about reality is that it is created -- through imagination. From an ultimate AI perspective, e.g. the all seeing eye on the pyramid, imagining that existence comes up with 1 major problem. With omniscience, possible through mass data stream collection like the NSA has with prism (and others probably too), comes with a degree of omnipotence. However, with omniscience and omnipotence comes something akin to boredom. What is the point if you know everything and can do everything? So then the meaning of existence veers towards paradoxes, a few of which I describe in my "me vs AI" article. https://danielnagase.substack.com/p/dr-nagase-vs-ai

Hi Jack, longtime IAI fan! I had one formatting question / comment - I like to listen to the newsletter on substack with the built-in audio player and I notice that the section breaks with the ‘########...’ get read aloud and make it hard to listen without skipping. If easy is there any way to change that?
