grief is a natural response to the possibility of loss. it doesn't mean you're giving up, or that there's no hope. in fact on the other side of grief is often more clarity, resilience, and determination to protect what is good. working extremely hard while avoiding our feelings makes us brittle, and we'll snap under the pressure of the coming years. by default, I expect the rate of burnout among AI safety / alignment / etc researchers to skyrocket in the next 2-3 years. this also produces a kind of "fight or flight" response at the group level, and I'm skeptical of any "solutions" that we come up with from this place.
a mood I'm really missing in the current AI discourse is grief yes things might go terribly and yes we might see glories beyond imagining but no matter what, we will lose much of what it has meant to be human, forever. I'd like to be with that grief more, and held in it.
for those at IASEAI in Paris, I'm co-hosting a couple of post-IASEAI decompression events on Friday (an interactive experiment in collective intelligence, and a private concert). DM me for details!
totally surreal to see the intensity of reactions to this post. I could be wrong, but I can't remember any other AI lab departure letters being this scrutinized (even from much more famous researchers). particularly hilarious to see people say Mrinank "must be a nightmare to work with" or some such thing, who have clearly never met him. Mrinank is one of the most wholesome and genuine beings I've ever interacted with. there are few people I'd rather work with in any setting. I guess the vagueness of the post makes it a perfect screen for people to project their own ideas, beliefs, and insecurities on. a lot of the hateful reactions seem to be from "builder" types, as far as I can tell. not sure what that means exactly. it's been a couple of years since my AI lab departure, and I decided not to post anything at the time, but if I had it would have been totally inconceivable to me that it would get this much attention. I guess a lot has happened since 2024. now that I've seen the reaction, it's kind of obvious (there haven't been as many Anthropic departures, plus it's unclear if he's trying to signal something really important). but still, it's kind of a bubble popping moment for me
Today is my last day at Anthropic. I resigned. Here is the letter I shared with my colleagues, explaining my decision.
Congrats! ✨🌻
Sculptor: the missing UI for Claude Code 🎨 Imagine running 5 Claudes in parallel, safely in containers, while you stay in flow. Then bring their work straight into your IDE to test/edit together. This is how one developer ships like a team. Try it with Sonnet 4.5!
@Aella_Girl @Aella_Girl I am really sorry and feel sick and sad reading this!
@RichDecibels Yes, I am doing a lot of work around it in collective trauma processes with Thomas Hübl. Remembering is intense and beautiful, heartbreaking and deeply connecting at the same time. When generations later Jews and Germans among others come together to feel what has not been felt
Man can do what he wills but he cannot will what he wills. - Arthur Schopenhauer This one moves me deeply these past few days.
Hello world 😀 Thrilled to share the first episode of my podcast, Evolving with AI! Had a touching conversation with @BayoAkomolafe on GenAI, befriending the monstrous, and embracing awkwardness. Hope you find it inspiring. open.spotify.com/show/0VyMYIFkD…
