Another of xAI's founders is leaving. But he's leaving with grand pronouncements, something you currently read about from all the important people in the field:
"We are heading to an age of 100x productivity with the right tools. Recursive self improvement loops likely go live in the next 12mo. It’s time to recalibrate my gradient on the big picture. 2026 is gonna be insane and likely the busiest (and most consequential) year for the future of our species."
Buckle up, we are in for a wild ride!
Last day at xAI.
xAI's mission is push humanity up the Kardashev tech tree. Grateful to have helped cofound at the start. And enormous thanks to @elonmusk for bringing us together on this incredible journey. So proud of what the xAI team has done and will continue to stay close as a friend of the team. Thank you all for the grind together. The people and camaraderie are the real treasures at this place.

“In his writings, as in his life, Caesar is always the same—direct, straightforward, unmoved save by occasional tenderness, describing with unconscious simplicity how the work which had been forced upon him was accomplished.”

Napoleon on why Caesar was so nice to his enemies after he won the Civil War:
"Among nations and during revolutions, there is always an aristocracy. If you destroy it in the form of the nobility, it will immediately be recreated among the rich and powerful families of the Third Estate. If you destroy it among these, it will resurface among successful artisans and the people. A prince gains nothing by such a displacement of the aristocracy. On the contrary, he restores order by letting it continue in its natural state, by reconstituting the ancient families on new principles. Such a state of affairs was more necessary than ever at Rome. In order to maintain its superiority, Rome, the ruler of the universe, needed the magic attaching to men with names like Scipio, Aemilius Paulus, Metellus, Claudius, Fabius and so on..."
