This is why we advocate for community-scale AI.
Mega = anthropic, Oai, microsoft, etc
Micro = fully local, tiny models, narrow uses
Meso = full sized models, run by people you know, distributed compute nodes across community scale.

This is what we aim to achieve: bring the impact to everyday people.
if i were openai or anthropic, i’d absolutely flood the world with emotional optimistic ads about what ai can actually do for ordinary ppl.
e.g. show the teacher who gets her evenings back. the scientist who finds something sooner. the small business owner who can suddenly do the work of a team. the kid who can learn anything. the disabled person who becomes more independent.
make ai feel like human progress again. basically act like a general before a battle & remind people what the future is for.
The Cyber Project retweeted
Onboarding at OpenAI is one of the fastest I have ever experienced.
Step 1) login to Slack
Step 2) download and login to ChatGPT.
That’s basically it. Anything in this company can be driven from here, and it comes readily configured. You can figure out how to do anything or find the right person for anything. All workflows and tools integrate well into Slack and so you don’t have to leave these two surfaces.
This is the future of onboarding and enables engineers to ship on day one at scale.
I didn’t think it was possible to keep this velocity at this scale, but it is.
Our work is in translating the ivory tower to the real world.
AI can be useful for everyone. It just needs to be taught in the right way.
Anthropic has launched the Anthropic Academy
I took a look at the Anthropic Academy, and I have to admit that I consider it a useful foundation. AI is increasingly being used across a wide range of fields. At the same time, we should not forget that we operate in something of an ivory tower here, or at least within a highly tech-savvy community. Whenever I step outside this community, I realize how little people understand and know about AI.
In that sense, lowering the barrier to entry is certainly worthwhile, and a smart move, while also helping users learn how to work with these products. Especially as Anthropic prepares for a potential IPO, it makes sense to help users gain a better understanding of its product portfolio and develop deeper knowledge of the products and how to use them.
For many people, the basics will be trivial and not particularly helpful, but the offering is presumably not primarily aimed at people like us. In general, I believe it is beneficial when more people understand the wide range of ways in which AI can be used. You can even earn certificates upon completing certain courses. Presumably, many people will add them to their LinkedIn profiles ;)
Anyways, interesting launch. gonna check it out more in depth
A.I. Should Help People
But bribery is a distraction
The thing itself must be applied to make regular people's lives better
That's why we are showing people how to use it well and safely
AI companies should learn what Mamdani already understands:
The most tried and true PR tactic is just give people stuff
Julius Caesar’s feasts, Rockefeller’s dimes, the Marshall Plan, Oprah’s favorite things, Starlink on United - works every time
Labs and datacenters should build parks, subsidize bills, hold a cookout, sponsor fieldtrips
Companies are spending way more on marketing and lobbying that backfires half the time. Just give people stuff
