Thank you for writing this. My girlfriend and I would like kids, but I generally try not to bring AI up around her. She got very anxious while listening to an 80k hours podcast on AI and it seemed generally bad for her. I don’t think any of my work will end up making an impact on AI, so I think basically the CS Lewis quote applies. Even if you know the game you’re playing is likely to end, there isn’t anything to do since there are no valid moves if the new game actually starts.
I did want to ask, how did you think about putting your children in school? Did you send them to a public school?

We’ve done the local public school, yes. More thoughts here: https://juliawise.net/school-your-mileage-may-vary/
