The fact that a ruler can measure more precisely than any of us doesn't make it more than a tool. It has a body but it doesn't have consciousness or agency. It's not because we get impressed by a tool doing something better than us, even if we associate it with intelligence (like a pocket calculator few decades ago) that it's anything more. Honestly fascinating topics, both freediving and embodiment, but I don't see how AI helps there at all.
I know who she is, but this is typical tech influencing. Start with a very strong metaphor (freediving) and then connect it to the toy of the day (Claude).<p>So apparently she thinks that Claude writes code like a senior engineer and AI could in theory be sentient. Well, maybe Olah is on his way to utilize the next influencer just like he utilized the Pope.
