An Anthropic researcher just told a room full of PhD students that their career plan no longer exists
His 3 pieces of advice for students:
1. Use AI every day. If you're on the exponential, you'll never fall behind it.
2. Choose projects that get better when compute scales. The rest will be solved before you finish them.
3. Stop planning your career as if it were stable. The safe option no longer buys safety; it no longer exists.
And a phrase that sums it all up:
"Writing is thinking. If you outsource your writing, you outsource your thinking."
The talk is titled "The End of the Anthropocene"
Reminder not having a long commute is one of the biggest life upgrades. You never normalize against this, like you would a very good or very bad event (the commuting paradox, described in the Scandinavian Journal of Economics). Moving closer to work or going remote is worth it
before all these immigrants arrived in France, the french were famous for a culture of resolving conflict peacefully, WITHOUT breaking things, burning and looting, violence, storming buildings and decapitating anyone.
Dear God, grant me the serenity to accept that we're so fucking cooked; the courage to say that we're locked in; and the wisdom to know when we're so back. Amen.
I've been thinking hard about modern biosecurity for five years.
In the course of that thinking, I've learned a lot about what the field consensus is on a complete biodefense stack for the AI age.
Today, as part of my work with @BlueDotImpact, @chrisstrahle_ and I have published an overview of this defense stack, alongside a starting list of ten projects we would like to support motivated founders to build.
Funding will be available through the Seed Grants program.
Please share this with the best founders you know.

weird pattern i noticed with successful founders i've met ($30M + raised ) is that they all love Gucci Mane. something in there yet to decipher #thinking
