Legendary, love that Dwarkesh had the inclination and follow through to interview Gwern. Great questions, too.
Gwern is who I wish I could be when I grow up (sadly, I'm already quite grown up).
But as a role model? An aspirational example? An inspiration to write yourself (especially if you want your mind reflected at all in future silicon minds)? All of those, a thousand times over.
This was a random jewel that I happened upon. Without reading the comment that Gwern was using an avatar, my mind was had really been wondering if he was a real person or a humanoid Ai. Especially since he said he was interested in transhumanism, my mind though he might be an AI. He is so brilliant, eloquent.
As an retired school nurse, I think that his speech is excellent in pitch & variability.
If he is using an avatar, then lol, it explains how buff he looks 🤣
Awesome interview. The 'avatar' was quite distracting though - wonder if there was a different way to do this without the avatar. Doomberg has something similar - a green chicken - that's even more distracting.

Really, really, really good conversation. Hadn't heard of Gwern before but just looked at the website and I love it! Will dive deep
This was amazing. Thank you for doing it.
This literally changed my life! I completely pivoted my whole life to solving the existential risk from AI due to this podcast.
I will get into mech interp and solve it once for all.

Loved the talk hated the modality it just looks creepy guys.
I’m making an LLM that combines the complete works of Gwern and the videos/works of whatifaltist to see what kind of Eldrtich Druid I can make
This was the first uncanny valley example of using modern technology in a podcast.
We Redesign a thumbnail as per your requirement so kindly check your Instagram we had Dm there by name "Creative visuals"
Incredible conversation. Inspired!
I listened to the whole thing not knowing who Gwern was and WOW what a mentally stimulating conversation…I loved it! And cool avatar animation!
