If I were Anthropic (or any frontier lab) I would be spending significant cognitive and operational resources defending against the possibility of being nationalized.

We’ve shifted “go to your room” terminology with 5yo to “confined to quarters” and for reasons I do not understand it is a tremendous improvement

Somehow I missed out on Band of Brothers when it first came out but slowly working through it now and it’s quite good

Here's a project I've been working on recently: a vision of what happens if Europe doesn't take AI seriously, inspired by AI 2027 europe2031.ai/

Alpha School is building 4 types of high schools: Service, Division 1 Athletics, Entrepreneurship and "get into a Top 20 university" high schools: Service high schools will be where you do things like spend a year in Africa building an Alpha School and doing your top 1% academics 3 hours a day, but on site on a different continent. D1 Athletics high schools will be where you spend 5 hours a day building yourself into an elite college athlete, maybe with professional aspirations. Again, you'll do your top 1% academics in only 3 hours a day, opening up most of your day to be an incredible athlete. Entrepreneurship high schools like Founders School run by @nateliason will be where you learn how to earn a million dollars in profits during high school, starting at 12 pm, and only after doing your top 1% academics in only 3 hours a day. "Get into a top 20 college" high schools will have a focus on giving you 40 hours a week to build a portfolio of Olympic-level (academic) extracurriculars to go along side top 1% academics in only 3 hours a day. The common theme here is that when it is possible to get a 1560 SAT and 10 APs during high school in only 3 hours a day, teenagers can open up their schedule to spend their years doing the stuff they want to at the highest levels. This is much different than the best private high schools where classes and homework take up so much time that students only have at most ~20 hours a week to work on their passion projects and leadership activities. Alpha School gives teenagers 2X the time, which makes for much more interesting people at the age of 18. That's why I'm building Toronto into the first 1,000 student Alpha School city. Reach out if you are interested.
