John Allard, former OpenAI employee, shares his first post-OpenAI project: a solo bike ride across Japan. Final tally: 42 days, 2,300 miles, 130,000 feet of climbing (4.5 Everests), all four main islands, 32 onsens, and hundreds of konbini stops. He notes it gave him slightly less time than usual to think about AGI takeoff.
