The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 6d is days, 4yr is years.

Sam Altman loved it
(Incidentally, Nick Bostrom's excellent book "Superintelligence" is the best thing I've seen on this topic. It is well worth a read.)

Radek Pietruszewski loved it
Super fascinating, and incredibly scary read about general artificial superintelligence. Amazing read. Highly recommended as an audiobook (fantastic narrator perfect for the topic).

Elon Musk recommends it
Worth reading Superintelligence by Bostrom. We need to be super careful with AI. Potentially more dangerous than nukes.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
