Thursday Assorted Links

1. Do growth rates have to decline for aging societies?

2. Conversations with Tyler Boston meet-up.

3. ChinaTalk is expanding into Chinese AI issues.

4. Nate Silver on the zigzag of American politics.

5. Dwarkesh podcast with Adam Brown: “Bubble Universes, Black Holes, & AdS/CFT.”

6. UFO okie-dokie.

7. The politics of LLM content?  Tweet storm.  David Rozado’s Substack summary.  Full report.

8. James Broughel on why people don’t like Dylan so much today.  I agree with this descriptive point.  But oddly my objection to a lot of music today is how bad it sounds (by my standards), not that the songs are not good.

9. Humanity’s last exam.  Here are some of he questions, how well would you do?  And NYT coverage.  It seems o1 pro was not tested?  (I tried the Kant question on o1 pro and it seemed to get it right.)  As measured in the study, DeepSeek-R1 (!) does the best.
