Emmett Shear (@eshear) , founder of Softmax (@softmaxresearch), explains why AI alignment and AGI are the same problem—and why the capacity for alignment enables both great good and industrial-scale evil. He argues that 99% of AI startups are building labor-saving tools when they

Emmett Shear (Softmax, former Twitch CEO) on why alignment is the most dangerous capability we're developing, not because it prevents evil, but because it enables coordination at scale. Industrial-scale good requires alignment. So does industrial-scale evil. No one can write

@metaproph3t I’ll give you my advice as a founder with 14 years of experience for free: 1) The number of iterations is the best predictor of quality. So ship fast because you’ll get more iterations in and reach higher quality. One thing you learn is that the code is always a side effect of

Great energy from Hackathon week at Amplitude. We host them twice a year and we get all of engineering, product, and design together in person for 5 days. We have an internal coding competition today and I’ll be throwing my hat in the ring too.

What can be counter-intuitive to most founders. Post product-market fit is actually less fun in many cases than pre. Enjoy the early stages
@yacineMTB if i were like, a sports star or an artist or something, and just really cared about doing a great job at my thing, and was up at 5 am practicing free throws or whatever, that would seem pretty normal right? the first part of openai was unbelievably fun; we did what i believe is

VCs are asking the wrong first question. "What's your ARR growth?" has become the opening line of every pitch meeting. So founders are getting creative, annualizing weekly revenue, calling pilots "recurring," stretching definitions. It's 2021 all over again. The danger isn't

The first thing American companies do when the government tries to restrict who they can hire is open offices abroad where they can hire anyone they want It’s well established that big tech simply moves immigrant talent to other countries when they run into immigration hurdles
