一个极其魔幻的现实：FTX 曾经持有 Anthropic 7.84% 的股份。

在 2024 年初，他们被迫以 13 亿美元的价格清仓了这笔资产。

目前 Anthropic 的最新估值已经暴涨至 9650 亿美元。如果这笔股份留到现在，价值将高达 750 亿美元。

而 FTX 破产留下的资金窟窿仅仅只有 89 亿美元。

如果当初能硬扛到现在，这笔投资不仅能轻松填平所有的天价债务，还能让他们净赚六百多亿美元。

The vibes in SF feel pretty frenetic right now. The divide in outcomes is the worst I've ever seen.

Over the last 5yrs, a group of ~10k people - employees at Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Nvidia, Meta TBD, founders - have hit retirement wealth of well above $20M (back of the envelope AI estimation).

Everyone outside that group feels like they can work their well-paying (but <$500k) job for their whole life and never get there.

Worse yet, layoffs are in full swing. Many software engineers feel like their life's skill is no longer useful. The day to day role of most jobs has changed overnight with AI.

As a result,
1. The corporate ladder looks like the wrong building to climb.
Everyone's trying to align with a new set of career "paths": should I be a founder? Is it too late to join Anthropic / OpenAI? should I get into AI? what company stock will 10x next? People are demanding higher salaries and switching jobs more and more.

2. There’s a deep malaise about work (and its future).
Why even work at all for “peanuts”? Will my job even exist in a few years? Many feel helpless. You hear the “permanent underclass” conversation a lot, esp from young people. It's hard to focus on doing good work when you think "man, if I joined Anthropic 2yrs ago, I could retire"

3. The mid to late middle managers feel paralyzed.
Many have families and don't feel like they have the energy or network to just "start a company". They don't particularly have any AI skills. They see the writing on the wall: middle management is being hollowed out in many companies.

4. The rich aren’t particularly happy either.
No one is shedding tears for them (and rightfully so). But those who have "made it" experience a profound lack of purpose too. Some have gone from <$150k to >$50M in a few years with no ramp. It flips your life plans upside down. For some, comparison is the thief of joy. For some, they escape to NYC to "live life". For others still, they start companies "just cuz", often to win status points. They never imagined that by age 30, they'd be set. I once asked a post-economic founder friend why they didn't just sell the co and they said "and do what? right now, everyone wants to talk to me. if i sell, I will only have money."

I understand that many reading this scoff at the champagne problems of the valley. Society is warped in this tech bubble. What is often well-off anywhere else in the world is bang average here.

Unlike many other places, tenure, intelligence and hard work can be loosely correlated with outcomes in the Bay. Living through a societally transformative gold rush in that environment can be paralyzing. "Am I in the right place? Should I move? Is there time still left? Am I gonna make it?" It psychologically torments many who have moved here in search of "success".

Ironically, a frequent side effect of this torment is to spin up the very products making everyone rich in hopes that you too can vibecode your path to economic enlightenment.

历史总是处在一种动荡-平衡的状态中，从一个节点走向另一个节点。如果你正好处在节点之间的道路上，那么不管你个人的才能或者志向如何，你的一生注定都是比较平淡的，也许是比较幸福的。但是如果你处于接近于节点的那个状态中，那么无论你怎样渴望安定的生活，你都注定要做出许多非常痛苦的决断。振荡-平衡-经过节点-在节点做出重大的选择，然后在毫无办法的情况下走进一个你没有办法回头的路线。

如果你对目前的情况表示不满，或者说是你发现前后左右的许多人都对目前的情况不满，很可能你们都没有预见到这些不满的意义。这些不满的意义就是说，大家正在直觉地感到某一个节点正在接近，而且大家正在希望在这个节点的时候能够做出有利于自己的重新选择。重新选择的机会是非常宝贵的，对于人，国家或者任何历史实体都是这样的，选择的机会比任何具体的利益都要重要。
