Programming is not just hard, but in my opinion it's needlessly hard, creati... See more

Toward a Definition of AGI
This paper examines the impending economic transformation from a regime primarily reliant on human labor and capital to one dominated by artificial general intelligence (AGI)-driven productivity. Utilizing an analytic framework based on production functions, it introduces a "power shift" index that delineates the conditions under which AGI may rend... See more
