The masterclass sounds great. One suggestion, however. Per your Best of the Best line, "Emphasize the tradeoffs involved", all the talk of Exponentials, Frontiers, Centaurs, etc. seems to be lacking representation from tradeoffs.
Yeah yeah yeah, we want capitalism to be infinite growth without pesky things like systemic limits, tradeoffs, and unforeseen consequences. But burning 10-20x the compute energy to perform the equivalent of a Google search with a higher likelihood of hallucination errors, all because it allows us to bypass Google ad enshittification, is going to need better answers than "more power, more compute, more data".
Some of us, if not all of us, are going to have to pay the bill for that eventually.
Thanks, yes very important point. The question is usually how to induce the tradeoffs in a way the audience can do something about. I touch on AI risks which overlaps with tradeoffs and will think about how to stick the landing.
