To make the series is a bonfire of human creative effort, think of what could have been done instead.

Software has changed forever. We need more APIs (like WeatherKit) and underlying reliable databases with high-level operators (like whatever powers Photos or Reminders) and identity/permissions/etc, and that's what an OS will have to include in the future.

Offloading thinking to AI tools does not stop a person from learning; it can push them to learn more.Their words
So learning doesn't stop just because I outsource a bunch of thinking to AI. It pushes me to learn more. I like that as an outcome.

From one piece AI alignment is a red herring 2 beliefs, in the piece's order there

Their words
We don't need to align the coming AGI. We need a whole population of intelligent-as-possible AGIs with competing interests.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
