The field of AI is poised to transform our lives. The future remains uncertain—full of probabilities. These are some of the people I follow to gain a better sense of where we might be headed:

- Aravind Srinivas: CEO of Perplexity, which continues to roll out useful features. I follow him to learn how AI can augment our workflows.
- Dwarkesh Patel: Hosts a great podcast featuring conversations with many of AI’s most influential thinkers.
- Gary Marcus : Offers a more measured and contrary take on the effectiveness of LLM's to achieve AGI.
