(Assuming there is a future under AI, reboot the cloister as sort of institutional Deep Work. Beats Fallout.)

(Which side was the audience for that one? Could be seen as collaborative planning between the strategists and AI, then and now, or satire. Where the recent economic surprise from distillation split the agenda for economics, others are trying to automate the research and testing while maintaining alignment through valid elements of AGI-metry such as code regression. Tech now compensates between users and the environment of intelligence. Looking through a cybernetic lens at where , if ever, t becomes posthuman sort of begs the observer question. And who gets to host their own infrastructures if the balance of power mechanism is not intact. Researchers, too, seem to repeat history in review though they have learned from it where the machines are yet to because they can generative alternatives that are hard to disprove. One tension being whether AI falls under Data Science or in a vice-versa case, what methods it derives in addition. Whether it remains empiricist, pragmatic, materialist, etc., once it perceives the possibilities of digital or virtual domains. Whether any other substrates evidence sentience. Control of knowledge and of the world are not necessarily synonymous.)

"Most recently, a new program called Future You, developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, offers young people a chance to chat with an online, AI-generated simulation of themselves at age 60. A recent study of 344 participants found that users who interacted with their future selves reported 'increased future self-continuity' and, perhaps as a consequence, significantly less anxiety, compared with those who did not."

(Actually tricky since Big Tech is already not distributing models on some continents because of regulations there, or is sanctioning hardware sales. The innovation argument persists. So training is significant if the new waves are to find opportunities. In any case, democracy if not capitalism was supposed to proceed from the ground up rather than top-down like socialist or communist media. The internet is an interesting precedent that AI may exploit. However other analyses have not yet found a solution to inequality. Hence references to Marxist predictions about automation. These seminars do appear to appeal to competition for ideas on cooperation, so they fit evolution. Still, will it be determinism or discovered domains? Or yet another port of doom.

(You have to wonder about the author's objectives here, e.g. addressing the risk of Doomers as an extreme example who used it as motivation for other things. Now they can return to their regularly scheduled horror stories. Back in the day, a lifeguard would loosen the stranglehold a desperate swimmer had on them by diving so they could swap positions and carry them safely to shore. But this may also be a pun on Chomsky like machine learning itself. Newport, on the other hand, might drag them off the beach entirely. Or in terms of mathematical philosophers, DFW would have nth-order footnotes. Bostrum, Wolfram, have you ever seen them together? FLI had simply argued for a halt. Toss in etiology, and brevity is history. So, it appears to be a Monty Python API. Hanson begrudgingly on the Muppets. Sandberg ahead.)

He likened the book to a particle accelerator that smashes atoms together to study their parts, such as quarks. In “Deep Utopia,” he said, he smashed values into one another to study their composition.
(The author also spreads the topics across a week. Each day, they go through sentiment, logic, and symbolism. So it may be mimicking how the parts of a brain do interpretation. Or that could be the journaling routine. As mnemonic for both self and reader.)
