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.
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.
Really, really, really good conversation. Hadn't heard of Gwern before but just looked at the website and I love it! Will dive deep
