I think it’s time to revisit the accredited investor laws in the US.
Companies are staying private longer, where only accredited investors (aka rich people!) can invest. Retail investors can only come in after IPO, when much of the upside has already been captured.
These rules were created with the best of intentions, to protect regular people from scams - a noble idea. Unfortunately, in practice they've often made it illegal to get richer, unless you're already rich. A regressive tax!
We have to judge policies based on their outcomes, not on their intentions.
These are two possible routes I see:
1) Replace the rule with something merit-based, like a financial literacy test. Pass it and you're accredited. Having a qualification based on competency rather than your bank balance or income seems far more fair.
2) Remove the rule entirely. Let consenting adults assess their own risk. Disclosure requirements stay and fraud enforcement stays to punish bad actors.
This quote from Steve Jobs has always resonated with me. An important reminder as we write the chapters of our life's book.
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.
Introducing Project Glasswing: an urgent initiative to help secure the world’s most critical software.
It’s powered by our newest frontier model, Claude Mythos Preview, which can find software vulnerabilities better than all but the most skilled humans.

New in Claude Code: auto mode.
Instead of approving every file write and bash command, or skipping permissions entirely, auto mode lets Claude make permission decisions on your behalf.
Safeguards check each action before it runs.
👋 Roughly, the more tokens you throw at a coding problem, the better the result is. We call this test time compute.
One way to make the result even better is to use separate context windows. This is what makes subagents work, and also why one agent can cause bugs and another (using the same exact model!) can find them. In a way, it’s similar to engineers — if I cause a bug, my coworker reviewing the code might find it more reliably than I can.
In the limit, agents will probably write perfect bug-free code. Until we get there, multiple uncorrelated context windows tends to be a good approach.
New in Claude Code: Code Review. A team of agents runs a deep review on every PR.
We built it for ourselves first. Code output per Anthropic engineer is up 200% this year and reviews were the bottleneck
Personally, I’ve been using it for a few weeks and have found it catches many real bugs that I would not have noticed otherwise
We've rolled out a new auto-memory feature.
Claude now remembers what it learns across sessions — your project context, debugging patterns, preferred approaches — and recalls it later without you having to write anything down.
