impressed that that Gen Z is (allegedly) so pessimistic about the future of the planet and their chances at financial security & meaningful relationships, & their response is to sacrifice the pleasures of youth so they can experience the long decline in a healthy body
I’m backed by Vinod. Every founder who raises from Vinod knows the deal.
Could he try to fire you from your own company if he thinks that’s what the company needs?
Yes. That’s not a secret. We even joke about it.
But making this entire drama about “firing founders” misses the point.
The point is that Vinod will always make the call he believes is right for the company, no matter how uncomfortable it is.
And there are 2 sides to that coin.
If he thinks you’re in the way, he’ll move you.
If he believes the company should win and you’re the person to make it win, he’ll move mountains for it. He’ll pull strings, take the hard fights, and push harder than almost any investor would.
The ruthlessness that makes him dangerous is the ruthlessness that makes him exceptional.
That’s the deal with him. Vinod is not founder-first, he’s company-first. And if that makes your uncomfortable, you should probably pitch someone else.
Personal update: I’ve decided to leave OpenAI.
I’m proud to have been part of the custom chip program and grateful to everyone I got to build with and learn from along the way. The density of hardware talent on that team is extraordinary, and I don't think there's a better chip design team anywhere. It's been a wild journey from second hardware hire, 2.4 years ago, to now, and I'm excited to watch these chips become one of the most important engines of AGI.
At the same time, I haven’t been able to shake the pull to climb a new mountain from the bottom again!
I joined @AnthropicAI this week because I was deeply impressed with the team’s talent, values, and ambition, and I'm already energized by the pace and intensity of the past few days. It’s time to build.
The difference between men and women on this simple NATO quiz is about the difference between someone who only got as far as high school, if that, and someone with a bachelor's degree.

Downs syndrome is a lifelong impairment and it would be better if no one had it. Being able to control and filter out these defects is better for everyone

it’s awesome how every major game conference or reveal stream has to waste a bunch of time where the developer comes on stage and says “the game you just saw is a video game” for five minutes
