There’s a difference between being interested in getting good at something and being good at something
If someone wants something , the only measure of their interest and desire is how much resources and time they allocate to it. We’re not measuring Sam Altmans deepest desires and fantasies here
e.g. many people want to live an active healthy lifestyle, but fewer are actually interested in doing so.
Are you sure? I've never heard of that difference. To be sure, I checked the definitions for each, and could find no such distinction. Maybe you could provide me with better sources than the ones I found?
