My impression is that lots of companies that deal exclusively with the US govt are doing fine, but it doesn't seem like they'd draw the best talent or become the biggest companies. If that's OpenAI's fate, I'm okay

"You are what you won't do for money." is a quote that seems apt here. Anthropic might not be a perfect company (none are, really), but I respect the stance being taken here.

For what it's worth, I don't know a single person that thinks this is a good idea. However, I'm a software developer living in NYC, so the context of my socioeconomic/cultural bubble isn't representative of the aver

Dilbert was great, and one of my favorite comics for a long long time. But yeah. Adams turned out to be kinda a jerk, at best. Of late, I've kinda concluded that no single piece of art or single artist is so great that I can't liv

I think he literally said white people should stay away from black people. I forget which video it is and don't want to re-watch it anyways. I Googled the specific quote and it sounds about right with my memory (which admittedly could

FWIW - I don't 100% agree with you, but I did want to say thanks for at least posting your thoughts, and qualifying them. (Adding my comment since there's a good amount of pushback, most of which I roughly agree with, but I think

tl;dr - Heather Cox Richardson! My original mini-essay (heh): It hasn't 100% worked for me, but it's been progress for me to: - turn on grayscale - don't use any social media - turn off all recommendations for the two indulge

I can't speak for firmretention, but I'm guessing it's the idea of a billionaire who's rightly lauded for his investment skill getting a little greenwashed with "donations" that aren't really no-strings-at

Great comment :) I used to be pretty into junk bonds during my MBA (I don't do this at all professionally, so YMMV with my commentary here), and I think, as usual, a lot of context would help with understanding what this could mean, wh

As a longtime loyal subscriber to Stratechery... I kinda agree. But as the other commenters did point out, this does reflect how the market seems to feel about OpenAI, at least. (Meta - I'm less sure of; Thompson does fawn over Meta qu

This is true. It's interesting to see the incentives of the industry though - this business model was less evenly distributed, but given how tough it is to make money in games, more companies are doing this. https://www.matt

What do you think a good faith person trying to persuade should do with this information? (Legit question, not trying to throw out a gotcha. I've been wracking my brain about this, since I spiritually agree w/ you that throwing zi

FWIW, outside of the chapter bwfan123 references, this entire book is an excellent read. Great stories and even better writing - it's one of my personal faves :)

I went full grayscale on my phone and it really helped. It just made my phone way more boring. I also highly recommend turning off history in the YouTube app, if you all use it. It then surfaces...zero recommendations. It's blissfully

I do agree that $80 for digital is a little insulting. Games, in general, probably should be $100+, and consoles for ~$400 is about right if simple inflation from the 90s is just taken into account. Games are now longer, have more productio
