Pattern I’ve seen: “AI could kill us all! I should focus on this exclusively, including dropping my exercise routine.”Don’t. 👏 Drop. 👏 Your. 👏 Exercise. 👏 Routine. 👏
You will help AI safety better if you exercise.
You will be happier, healthier, less anxious, more creative, more persuasive, more focused, less prone to burnout, and a myriad of other benefits.All of these lead to increased productivity.People often stop working on AI safety because it’s terrible for the mood (turns out staring imminent doom in the face is stressful! Who knew?). Don’t let a lack of exercise exacerbate the problem.Health issues frequently take people out of commission. Exercise is an all purpose reducer of health issues.Exercise makes you happier and thus more creative at problem-solving. One creative idea might be the difference between AI going well or killing everybody.It makes you more focused, with obvious productivity benefits.Overall it makes you less likely to burnout. You’re less likely to have to take a few months off to recover, or, potentially, never come back.Yes, AI could kill us all.
All the more reason to exercise.
