The Intelligence Age (recap):
In the next couple of decades, you will be your grandparents age, possibly older
This phenomenon is not new. It’s called aging.
Our grandparents did great things. Many of us have not. Our children will do even less. That is why we built AI.
AI will do things for us. It will parent your kids hundreds of times better than you can. It can do anything we can imagine. We were trying to make a list of things it can do, but we gave up since AI would probably do a better job at imagining that.
With these new abilities, plenty of us will still be miserable.
A short essay on human history: Some of us became magic sand wizards. Others didn’t. Some of us became magic sand witches. Others preferred soup or salad.
This may turn out to be the most consequential fact about human history so far. Something big is coming in a few short days, October 31st to be precise.
Who is coming to our doorstep?
Three words: The Great Pumpkin
15 words: He'll come here because I have the most sincere pumpkin patch and he respects sincerity.
That’s really it. On Halloween night, the Great Pumpkin rises from his pumpkin patch and flies through the air with his bag of toys to all the children.
Each year, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch that he thinks is the most sincere. He's gotta pick this one. He's got to. I don't see how a pumpkin patch can be more sincere than this one. You can look around and there's not a sign of hypocrisy. Nothing but sincerity as far as the eye can see.
Tricks or treats comes only once a year. Wait with me in the pumpkin patch. The Great Pumpkin will be here soon.
