## Sources

- [Moonshots with Peter Diamandis](https://www.diamandis.com/podcast): Surface ambitious technological forecasts as attributed positions that people can examine and challenge.

## Perspectives

- [Is falling participation an early sign of less human work?](/perspectives?position=wissner-gross-post-labor-reading) (Alexander Wissner-Gross): Wissner-Gross reads falling U.S. labor-force participation alongside rapid AI progress as an early sign of an economy with a smaller role for human labor. That is his interpretation of the figures, rather than a causal finding in the employment report.
- [Can checking the requirement replace checking every line?](/perspectives?position=tenev-check-the-specification) (Vlad Tenev): Tenev argues that checking a concise formal statement can be much less work than checking its entire proof. He proposes building toward larger verified systems from smaller components.
- [The proof can pass while the requirement is wrong](/perspectives?position=wissner-gross-proving-the-wrong-problem) (Alexander Wissner-Gross): Wissner-Gross asks how to detect a formally valid answer to a subtly changed problem. He questions whether open-world safety can be expressed compactly enough for a person to check.

## Terminal notes


## Parallels

- [More capable. More in control?](/parallels?parallel=delegated-judgment): When does handing over the work give people more room to decide?
- [The answer is right. Was the question?](/parallels?parallel=right-answer-wrong-question): When producing an answer gets cheaper, where does the useful work move?
