I tried desperately to source this even before seeing your request.

My current guess is that I heard it on a podcast (either a Dwarkesh interview or an episode of something else - maybe transistor radio? - featuring Dylan Patel).

I'll try to re listen to top candidates in the next two weeks (a little behind on current episodes because I'm near the end of an audiobook) and will try to ping back if I find it.

If too long has elapsed, update your profile so I can find out how to message you!
