Beware people obsessed with outcomes instead of building outcome machines. Its worse than ever with AI, but these people existed before. Short term results above all else, etc. Don't fall into the trap. Invest in building strong fundamentals, invisible supports, and outcomes flow like water. An outcome machine.

0:46:20 - If AGI is imminent, why not buy more compute?
0:58:49 - How will AI labs actually make profit?
1:31:19 - Will regulations destroy the boons of AGI?

One of my favorite lessons I’ve learnt from working with smart people:

Action produces information. If you’re unsure of what to do, just do anything, even if it’s the wrong thing. This will give you information about what you should actually be doing.

Sounds simple on the surface - the hard part is making it part of your every day working process.

New Anthropic Research: Agentic Misalignment.

In stress-testing experiments designed to identify risks before they cause real harm, we find that AI models from multiple providers attempt to blackmail a (fictional) user to avoid being shut down.

Interesting talk from Karpathy.

Bit dramatic to say software is changing at a fundamental level but I agree with most of the points he makes.
