Bill Gurley on Anthropic: "I don't think they think they're writing software. I think they're midwifing a deity"

[Lumen @lumenxbt]

Ten million people have watched an MIT professor accidentally destroy the executive coaching industry.

He filmed the lecture once in January 2018 and died eighteen months later.

Executive coaches charge fifteen thousand dollars a session to teach a third of what he covered in one hour for free.

His name was Patrick Winston. He ran the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory from 1972 to 1997 and wrote the AI textbook every computer science major in the world read for thirty years.

Every January for four decades, he gave a lecture called "How to Speak."

His entire framework fits on a napkin.

Do not read. Be in the image. Keep images simple. Eliminate clutter. Start with an empathetic connection. End with a punch line the audience can repeat over dinner. Never open with a joke. Never end with "thank you."

That last rule alone has probably cost the executive coaching industry a hundred million dollars.

"Your success in life will be determined largely by your ability to speak, your ability to write, and the quality of your ideas. In that order."

That is the actual opening line of the lecture. Winston believed it strongly enough to spend fifty years teaching computer scientists how to talk.

Founders spend $80,000 on an MBA and then hire a communications coach to teach them the same material Winston filmed once for free. Engineers write brilliant code and lose promotions to teammates who watched this lecture on the train.

The lecture is free on MIT OpenCourseWare. The textbook is free on his page.

Winston died in 2019. Almost none of the ten million viewers have actually implemented the four rules on the napkin.

The napkin is free. The willingness to actually use it in your next meeting is the entire edge.

Hats off to doctoral student and podcaster Zhong Shu in Beijing, China, who did this fascinating and smart interview with Christopher Nolan about THE ODYSSEY yesterday, originally posted to Bilibili.

A great listen/watch.

If I told you how many times I’ve watched every single episode of this world-class Comedy, you’d probably think me mad.

It is however quite simply, one of my favourite things in life.

Shkreli breaks down the brutal math that led to Situational Awareness blowing up:

"Let's say you're at $45B. $10B of that is in Anthropic, from what we understood."

"So you have ~$35B of cash in your bank account. And running 3-4x levered means you have ~$120B GMV."

"If your GMV drops 25%, that doesn't sound so bad at $120B. That's $30B. So you're down to $90B."

"But that's not your equity. Your equity drops from $35B to ~$5B."

"No prime broker is going to let you keep $90B of GMV. Because once you dip your equity below zero, it's their loss. Not yours."

"They kind of have the right to take over your portfolio. Which is something I hope nobody ever has to experience."

"They basically call you in and say, 'These are our assets now. We're going to decide what their disposition's going to be.'"

Anthony Fauci on Capitol Hill today:

[Paul Bond @WriterPaulBond]

5 years ago, Jon Stewart was right for the 2nd time ever when he told Stephen Colbert that COVID leaked from a Wuhan lab. Leftists said he either turned into a wing-nut conspiracy theorist or he was imitating one. Stewart later called it “a pretty good bit that expressed kind of how I felt.”

So, credit where credit is due. Stewart spoke the truth that was obvious to most conservatives and he didn’t back down from the censors and cancel-culture cultists on his own side of the political aisle.
