On: The avalanche that hit math is coming for AI development

Most people here will know who Dwarkesh is, he hosts a tech podcast

That's right, most people know that. Why does popularity make his opinion valid? Citation: the US president.

What has he done other than host a podcast?

What have you done?

Not much but I've been a S. Eng for 10 years and I'm wondering where Dwarkesh's claim to expertise comes from.

Seemingly from you, as a strawman. He doesn't seem to make such a claim in the article.

Not from me, although I suppose I did assume.

So he's not an expert. Just a guy off the street. Got it, I'll pass on the podcast then thanks.

And absolutely nothing was lost.

That could only be true if there was nothing to gain in the first place

Just keep telling yourself that. ;)
