A long interview asks what learning means in the AI age
tensorqt · x · 2026-07-21
This long interview is framed as a discussion about learning in the AI era and what place biological intelligence still has in a synthetic age.
The quoted teaser highlights the themes:
- how to think about learning when AI changes the value of expertise,
- whether people are missing a meaningful “wagon” or being pushed by the moment,
- and a roughly 50/50 mix of optimism and nihilism about where things are headed.
