Hi, I'm just getting started out in this area (background: quantum physics). Are there review papers or slides you would recommend? For the numerics. I'm somewhat familiar with Wehrheim and da Silva, but didn't realize that p

I had no time to write a full-fledged comment but people here took offense. Shrugs . I meant that the existential risk for founders is that of looking or being scummy. The precise, non-offensive definition of the sense of "scummy&quot

PG wants to make startups/hackers surpass earth-shattering thinkers, by considering the differences in the existential risks taken by each. Newton was betting (in PG's interpretation) that he would not go crazy or be seen as crazy

But it is the relative balance of technological advancement versus technology/knowledge distribution that matters here. Technology distribution would decrease inequality and not necessarily at the expense of technology advance either.

A better last paragraph which would make sense is: if technology distribution lags behind technology advancement, economic inequality would increase. But that seems like a tautology.

by balsam 11y ago
Only the last paragraph is original, but it is probably also wrong. So PG is saying that the major cause of inequality is technological advancement. But for example see that economic inequality decreased after WWII, but is it really that fa
