☆ Tech bros keep obsessing about replacing the 'median human' with AI
  + stars: | 2023-09-27 | by ( Beatrice Nolan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
He said: "For me, AGI…is the equivalent of a median human that you could hire as a co-worker." "It's interesting to use the term median human — that's importantly different from average human," Henry Shevlin, an AI ethicist and professor at the University of Cambridge, told Insider. How tech bros are defining this idea of median human intellect is open to question. Traditional measurements for comparing AI and human intelligence have tended to focus on capabilities rather than general intellect. But comparing AI with human intelligence at all can be ethically murky and potentially misleading, according to Mittelstadt.

Sam Altman tracked how quickly Y Combinator founders responded to his daily emails and texts. During that time, he kept notes on how quickly founders responded to his daily emails and texts, according to New York Magazine's Elizabeth Weil. Neither Altman's blog post nor the New York Magazine profile specified Altman's expected response times to texts and emails. Altman responded that he had written a program to look at how quickly Y Combinator's best founders answer his emails versus the "bad" ones. It was a difference of minutes versus days on average response times," Altman said at the time.

☆ A 27-year-old professional athlete landed a gig at Benchmark. Here's how she's balancing a Nike sponsorship, elite running, and working at the VC powerhouse.

Vanessa Fraser is a professional runner sponsored by Nike. As a professional runner for Nike, she's stared down American records, competed at national championships, and raced to make Olympic teams. These days, she's bringing that intensity off the track and into the world of venture capital. So when the call came from a recruiter working with Benchmark, Fraser was open to listening. In some ways, stepping back from full-time professional running and adding variety to her days have made Fraser an even better athlete, she said.
