From HSTC, with love.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
๐จ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฌ A Chinese travel creator was trying local food at a market in Nigeria when a group of men stopped him and demanded money.
When he asked why, their explanation was basically: "weโre Nigerian, youโre not, so we can take money from you."
Over roughly 10 kilometers, he says he passed more than 20 checkpoints and was asked for money again and again.
His final travel review?
โDonโt come to Nigeria.โ

You need boredom. A lot of it. Start by going on walks without music. No stimulation. No distractions of any kind. If you learn to sit with your own thoughts, for long enough, in time they will start serving you. You'll start having ideas once again. You'll start developing an extreme sense of clarity that will shift you into the next stage of your life. All by being bored, which is pretty insane.
Underrated truth: your life gets better when you stop needing every decision to be optimal. Pick the restaurant. Buy the decent pair of shoes. Choose a book and start reading it. We waste an absurd amount of life comparing versions of experiences instead of having one. A good choice made quickly is often more valuable than the perfect choice you spent three weeks researching.
