I’ve decided to leave @AnthropicAI
Never thought I’d say this so soon. The pursuit of AGI has truly been my life’s work but something more important has emerged.
In 1942, hundreds of America’s best scientists made huge sacrifices and joined the Manhattan Project to protect this nation against immense evil.
Today, America faces a similar danger. Over the last few years sparks of AGI have been felt across the world.
In order to protect this great nation against the threat of AGI ending up in the hands of evil, I have decided to join the modern day Manhattan Project.
I’m excited to announce that I’ll be joining (and moving into the office) @UseCorgi as a sales development representative!
It takes us 1 day to migrate a customer’s data, but 6-12 months to actually fully transition them. The premise that defensibility has historically been about the data, and not the habits of hundreds or thousands of people in an organization, is mistaken.
Systems of record maintain their moat until you no longer need humans to do any data entry or workflows at all
SITUATION DETECTED: Learning management system Canvas has suffered a major data breach, potentially compromising the personal information of millions of students during the spring finals season.

Natalia processed an entire month of company expenses in under 60 seconds.
That workflow used to take finance teams hours they don’t have.
I'm excited for what social media looks like in a post-scarcity society; without the advertising (and thus attention) incentives, I can see it returning to its roots of enabling genuine human connection

@vkhosla in NY the government pays people to take care of their (medicaid-eligible) loved ones as a full time job
I imagine this is what early forms of UBI will look like - govt has more wealth, uses that to hire citizens to do work that is hard for private businesses/ai to do for cheap
(for what it's worth, the teachers I work with who fall much closer to the "educational guide" side of things, are very happy -- often much more happy than traditional teachers -- and find significant meaning in their work)
going to be much more of this the next decade. teaching is shifting from "delivery of content" to "educational guide"

Why do they need to baselessly frame Palestinians in totally unrelated incidents?
I suspect it’s to justify the mass child murder they’ve been cheering on in Gaza.
