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.
Sending lots of love to the Apple community on my last day as CEO. My title changes tomorrow, but the love I have for the Apple community never will. Thank you for being a constant source of inspiration. My gratitude is endless, and I’m excited for the next chapter!
So about Apple leasing...
If you are going to use the device for 24 months, you pay $31.99 per month whose total comes out to $767.76 for the iPhone 17 Pro vs $1099 buying it outright but after that period you can either
1) Hand it back
2) Swap it for a newer model
3) Or keep paying it off which would be $331.24 more in this case which comes out to $1099
So it doesn't actually cost more, which is what I had expected.
