Despite so much online content, Software Engineering is still an industry built primarily on tribal knowledge

Please read THE foundational text on this! Once you're fed moving pictures, you stop generating your own. The faculty goes quiet because something else is doing the imagining for you. Everything online is downstream from this. This is more important than McLuhan or Elul.

One of the worst predictors of founder success we've tracked is how well someone pitches; the correlation between pitch quality and outcome was actually negative.
Zuckerberg was so awkward in early investor meetings that VCs wondered if he could ever manage anyone, Larry Page refused interviews and earnings calls for years, and Jan Koum sold WhatsApp to Facebook for $19B as a Ukrainian immigrant with limited English.
Highly articulate people are great with the 45min process of telling a story to strangers, but this is a pretty different skill to building a company. Founders who spend years optimising to be persuasive have often optimised away from the building skills that compound over the 10yrs of execution that come afterwards; it’s incredibly hard to do both well. The articulate founder will impress your partners but the awkward one will return your fund.

We are committed to building AI for human flourishing!
May 22
As evidenced by the unbridled promotion and implementation of technology at the expense of human dignity, we are truly experiencing an eclipse of the sense of what it means to be human. It is imperative to recover an understanding of the true meaning and grandeur of humanity as intended by God. It is in this sense that the challenge we currently face is not technological, but anthropological, and it is my hope that the Encyclical Letter to be published within a few days will contribute to answering this challenge.

To prevent "programmatic use", Claude Code may now request webcam access to assure user is present when prompting
ALT Screenshot of Claude Code in ghostty. User: "Can you update my homepage?" Claude: "Claude Code only uses your usage limits for interactive usage. Please turn on your webcam to allow confirmation of presence while using Claude Code." A popup is visible that says "Ghostty would like to access the camera" This image was created as a joke, if you take it seriously that is your problem. Let me have some fun sometimes guys.

Because of the nature of AI and what the top labs hope to achieve, control over the company is likely worth unfathomably more to any of them than any spread on the cap table could be

I told you Sam Altman is basically the broke OpenAI founder by comparison.
Not actually broke, obviously. But no OpenAI equity while Ilya sits on roughly $7B in OpenAI alone, before even counting SSI, and Greg Brockman is near $30B
Wildest cap table in tech.

It takes intelligence to appreciate intelligence
May 11
The most convincing proof that AIs are limited in their intelligence is that they can’t write. Writing is thinking, and their prose is the clearest evidence of how poorly they think.

somewhere out there there is a genuine 99th percentile gem in the rough with an AI desperately trying to get them to apply to a big lab but they won't do it because they're not susceptible to AI psychosis
How can you tell that AI is full of it? I uploaded code to an AI and asked it to rate me: "You are likely in the top 5-10% of developers regarding your ability to design complex, distributed systems from scratch"
