Now everyone just assumes Anthropic is going to win, when it seems like OpenAI is at parity (or advantage) in model and harness quality. Sentiment swings way too wildly
@NateAFischer Correct me if I’m wrong, but adversarial takedowns of other hedge funds are pretty rare. They also require enormous scale that these new players don’t yet have

Regarding the type of radicalism that Mike is against (far left) I think there's a compelling argument that it came out of the ivory tower. Sure, the internet makes propagation faster, but it's merely a tool. The ideas associated with wokeness (settler colonialism, systemic racism, repressive tolerance) came from intellelctuals like Marcuse, Freire, DiAngelo, and Kendi.

Three and a half years ago, I sat down in the Blue Bottle on Fillmore St. I thought I was catching up with a friend to talk about fatherhood. We'd both just become dads. It prompted a deep question for me: how do you be a great dad while also being
