Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.
Poland is exploring powerful new ways to bring voice agents into public services.
This summer, the government is rolling out a voice agent for the national healthcare system (Centralna e-Rejestracja) - proudly powered by @ElevenLabs and supported by NFZ.
The agent calls patients who only have a landline, reminds them about upcoming appointments, and helps them reschedule if needed. With 40 million appointments a year and 10-20% no-show rates, this can significantly improve access to healthcare for people across Poland.

That is the job understood correctly.

My information consumption is now 1/4 X, 1/4 podcast interviews of the smartest practitioners, 1/4 talking to the leading AI models, and 1/4 reading old books. The opportunity cost of anything else is far too high, and rising daily.
