  16. Amazing interview, from both sides! There isn't a whole lot unbiased information on non-recreational use of psychedelics, but this is some of the best I've seen so far :). It' s such a shame that these substances are outlawed for at best unclear reasons. Research like this hopefully shows people the truth about psychedelics (both the good and the bad), unlike the typical government propaganda. Fortunately for me, psylocibin containing fungi are legally available were I live (the Netherlands), although it's a bit of a grey area, with some confusing laws (mushrooms are illegal, sclerotia and grow-kits are legally sold in normal shops). Btw, is there any relation between Dr. Watts and Alan Watts? Probably not, but just curious.

  17. Very bright guy

  20. Thank you very much for sharing !!

  21. So valuable! Thx again. For me, it's so important to regularly come back to the YC advice videos and to remind & challenge myself again. The overthinking trap is so easy to slowly fall back into over time. My only wish: please please release this series as a podcast! :) I want to listen to this on Snipd to highlight my main takeaways and easily come back to them.

  22. man this guy is so honest. I was always in search of instrumentation. u can explain new theories as long as it satisfies existing phenomena and experiments. this guy beautifully explains all problems staring from power line fluctuation.
    11
  23. Great conversation, can’t believe this was free.

  24. I am from YC S19 and the value of being on the batch is amazing. Highly recommended.

  25. Michael sounds like a practical chap

  39. very very interesting interview. one of the best talks

  40. I like the camera/painter metaphor. I think the next phase of this is knowing when/where to lean into the LLM vs let the human paint. More advanced tools don't typically make the previous tools obsolete. Airplanes are more advanced than cars, but we still use cars. The microwave is more advanced than the stovetop but with still cook on stoves, etc... but what we HAVE learned is when/where to use the microwave vs the stove, how best to utilize each. In many areas the human may be preferred to the LLM and vice versa.
