@kevg1412 I am half way through, things that stand out:
1. Peter Thiel was skeptical of the FF's Deepmind investment in the later rounds. His partner Luke Nosek was the one that kept backing them.
2. Sundar consumed a lot of energy from Demis and was doubtful of its AGI timeline.
I’m excited to share that I’ll be joining OpenAI and look forward to working with the exceptional team there.
It was a difficult decision to move on. I’m incredibly proud of the amazing team at Google and everything we’ve built together. It has been an honor and a pleasure to work with all of you.
The deadline to apply for Alliance’s ALL17 cohort is tonight at 11:59 PM PT.

My before-bed routine:
Make sure Claude Code and Codex agents will run for the next 8 hours without me.
Nothing feels worse than waking up and seeing they stopped.
Prof. Donald Knuth opened his new paper with "Shock! Shock!"
Claude Opus 4.6 had just solved an open problem he'd been working on for weeks — a graph decomposition conjecture from The Art of Computer Programming.
He named the paper "Claude's Cycles."
31 explorations. ~1 hour. Knuth read the output, wrote the formal proof, and closed with: "It seems I'll have to revise my opinions about generative AI one of these days."
The man who wrote the bible of computer science just said that. In a paper named after an AI.
