The problem isn’t your hobbies. The problem is that you aren’t good enough at your hobbies. There are groupies for every annoying endeavor on earth. Video game groupies. Fly fishing groupies. Marching band groupies. She’s repulsed not by your hobby but by your mediocrity.

@ycombinator PG's framing only works if you act on the curiosity. most people meet lots of people and forget the names within a week. the meta-skill is whatever lets you remember and follow up: notes, journal, dumb little CRM, whatever you'll actually use

@naval This might be one of the more naive posts I think I've ever seen you make. This sort of take tells me you are definitely out of your wheelhouse.

Anthropic and their role in war and the whole DoW situation is so painfully misunderstood to me. Almost no stake, no dogs in the race etc, so I prefer not speaking on this topic, but here are still some observations nevertheless becasue I saw some tweets today towards the effect of "Claude was used to target bombing of girls, and Anthropic should take access back from the Govt if they have any shame" or shaming Anthropic employees for working there.

I am quite disappointed that no one is seeing other problems in this argument like

- for sure they used Windows or Mac to run the software? Are you asking the same of Apple/Microsoft employees?
- they are using plenty of other 'commodities' in the way, from electricity to computers to sharpies.... how are people who supply "tools" supposed to be responsible for actions of nation-states who just purchased products/services from them

Americans need to understand that if they think their government is not aligned morally to their idea of right and wrong, they have to elect better leaders. The bulwark against 'evildoing' by their own democratically administration cannot be on some 'benevolent dictator CEO' position person like @DarioAmodei
You are asking too much, and very wrong things from the private company CEO. His role in the world is not supposed to be "hold the moral compass to governments".

And as evident, despite how great a job Anthropic has done in building a great LLM in Claude, competing products like OpenAI or Gemini (or others) are not even all that behind, that it will be completely useless as a replacement for Claude. And the provider of the replacement will not necessarily have the same point of view (@sama for example, clearly believes it is not his company's role to provide moral compass to Govt of USA, this is *NOT* an observation of is morals/ethics, it is an observation on what role he thinks OpenAI should be playing, vis a vis the Govt)
In fact there is a monopoly on some different services the govt uses (intel processing) - Palantir, whose CEO clearly has a very different moral compass, who is fairly okay with autonomous weapons, killing of people, mass surveillance. But the accountability of what does the current administration do with Palantir's technology has to be with the democratically elected representatives, and not on Palantir, because those are the people you can vote to replace every 4 years.

This is not to say that private companies are not supposed to have certain morals/ethics, nor should you stop expecting that from your employer if you are an employee. But whatever you want your country to be doing/not doing, you need to make sure you elect an administration that does that for you. This 'hole' cannot be filled by just 'happenstance' that the CEOs of some critical infrastructure the govt wants to use will these ethics on to them.

llm generated texts have so much energy and weight exaggerated in every sentence. they just try to convey enthusiasm and emotion in every sentence, every deep phonetic, almost so that I feel uneasy to complete reading the response till end.
