Wow, great catch. Something tells me he rolled this himself. Clearly he's trying to coin a term for personal legacy reasons, and I say godspeed. Holocene is a little vague, the information age is too entrenched to get anyone's attention, a/the singular age / the singularity are way too deeply associated with the doomer community, and the cybernetic age (a term coined for academia!) is too associated with playful science fiction.

I'm personally rooting for cognitive being the word of the next few decades, but that's just a shout from the sidelines. Only time will tell what humanity latches on to, but I wouldn't be surprised if this blog post/subdomain was referenced in a Wikipedia page's Etymology section in 10-15 years...

Although this blog post & discussion has my anxiety at an 8, something's oddly comforting about the thought of Sam Altman fiddling with tailwind classes to get his profound aesthetic just-right. Something undeniably relatable and human. Hate the man all you want (I do!), but he's clearly acting in some sort of good faith.

You are right. I overlooked the simplicity of the headline. Thanks for calling attention to that.

> Something tells me he rolled this himself.

This would be cool.

I like that one too.

He's always been one to think and write for himself. Huge respect for him. Even though it needles me every moment that they still call themselves "Open"AI, I have so much respect for the guy, especially because PG basically told the world he was the next Michael Jordan of startups, and he actually went and fulfilled that. Not many people have it in them to live up to hype like that (Lebron being the only other one I can think of OOTOMH)
