There’s still an immense value in training the brain to learn and be able to approach new problems with the sort of procedural thinking that LLMs enable. We can explore topics that we are curious about and develop that sort of “muscle” to continue asking questions when we have them. I have no fear that when those bigger (and existential) problems arise we’ll be well equipped to keep asking questions and figuring out ways to solve them.

I've been inspired as of late by all of you in this community to get back into writing and share sentiments in the changing tech environment. I wanted to share a recent musing I've had around the argument for open-weight models and reflecting on why they are important for the benefit of society and humanity. I would love to hear your thoughts/criticisms/arguments. Thank you and much love
