this is a natural human trait. soap operas, sports, businesses, music.

there are also real implications. assuming money is not the only factor in moving to anthropic, it does help guide insight into where innovation might be and where to put your AI spend. a decision which could result in real returns for individuals and companies.

I think using the best model for every tasks makes sense when these models are subsidised. when the prices go up (assuming they do) this could trigger a more varied approach. assuming the model doesn't self select for you.

they're going to start training a pelican riding a bike specifically on these models soon. it's the key global benchmark!

This summarises my thoughts as well. People used to give away children that were too much of a burden. With higher mortality, some were also not expected to make it.

We're in a societal place where we have set the bar high in terms of an expected level of education and quality of life for our kids. kids are expensive and we've grown the population massively. There is also a social stigma associated with having lots of kids in Western countries.

I worry about my kids. But im always fascinated when they stretch the boundaries and show me how resilient they are. So I let them push limits but explain the pros and cons hoping they build their own feedback loops with some sense of perspective.

It's a delicate balance as a parent. I'm consistently fascinated how others parent. It's amazing how changes in parental style can be generational and show how long the changes will take to change.

Zelda Breath of the Wild attempts to approach this with an interesting interface.

It seems more and more like an inevitability we will run models locally. Exciting and concerning implications.

If anyone has any suggestions of people thinking about this space they respect, I'd love to listen to more ideas and thoughts on the developments.

it was my experience of college. many I know would agree, and few would agree with you. I'm sure there are some that didn't feel this way, but strange sweeping statement to make.

I agree with this. If she's adding value and her input is worth her place on the cap table then it should be easy to resolve.

You do need to think carefully about what a breakup would look like. Relationships can go sour and if that happened what would the arrangement be if they couldn't work together.

Also, who makes the decisions? Does her allocation give them both a majority of voting rights?

It's not a typical arrangement, that doesn't mean it can't work but your co-founder has added complexity into the process.

Thanks. I joined as CTO at the start of the year and it's a fascinating business. really pro-active board and big ambitions. Plus free tickets to games! What's not to love.

multiple ways to make that work. LTIPs, share options, direct equity in subsidiary etc

Using the same logic, you could say coal is renewable depending on your time horizon, no?
