Catch 22: If Anthropic cures Autism, what happens to Anthropic?
Anthropic CEO:
“If today we look at things like cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, mental illness. These will be relics of the past in. I think, less than a decade.
I believe that the company which gets the risks right will also be the company that has the license to operate that society trusts and society believes can build the benefits in the right way.
I think if we do this right, we can create an age of miracles where humanity is able to solve problems that have eluded us for millennia.
We have to make sure that all the risks, all the ways that things can go wrong with this technology, we very carefully address those risks as we bring the benefits, and as we have a viable business at the same time”.
I believe that this person works in the trades because this is definitely how most of them operate
I sent an email because it contains photos of the project, my address, my phone number - every detail they need AND can reply whenever they have time
But that's "lazy and avoidant"???
They would rather you call and scramble to write it all down on a scrap of paper while they're on a job site 🤷
I find a text as an initial form of greeting slightly rude and I wouldn't be inclined to respond to a customer who did so. An email is different. It comes across as lazy or avoidant. Ring me, if I don't answer, leave a message and I will respond when I can

My new favorite tech/business Youtube channel is @asmartbear.
It’s a breath of fresh air in my youtube algorithm, which is all AI hype / doom videos.
The videos are him working through how to grow a business with other founders.
And it’s practical advice, not “wake up at 5am, fail fast, and grind.”
It’s been a great reminder to focus on the obvious stuff.
Talk to your customers. Figure out who they are and why they buy. Then figure out how to find more of them and solve their problem.
It sounds so obvious, but it’s hard to see when you’re in it. Especially in today’s media ecosystem, where everyone is yelling about agents and no one is talking about business fundamentals.
Here's what its like trying trying to buy something in the UK
We need stone stairs and a wall built for our patio - chunky project, good money. I contacted the top 5 best reviewed companies via email, also providing my phone number.
One replied to my email, we had a bit of back and forth, then they ghosted.
One contacted me on whatsapp to set up a time to come out. They came and measured but I never heard from them again after that.
One sent me a text (I assume it was one of them) that just said "I got your email call me" no info identifying the company or inquiry
NONE of these responded within 48 hours
The other two never replied in any way
To think about how this runs a whole a multi million dollar saas for THREE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS A MONTH
What a time to be alive

Just want to say I got my year 7 kid a brick phone and it was a great move.
He can call and text his friends directly to make plans, he can let us know if he's going to a friend's house after school.
No internet, no downsides of a smartphone.
Try it out.

I sometimes hate that the last third of my life has consisted almost exclusively of sitting around looking at my phone. but then I think of how my ancestors lived, sat around looking at potatoes or something. compared to them I am winning, and winning big.
"be more ambitious with your prompts" is the wrong advice
it makes you think of gigantic projects but you're more likely missing smaller every day things that it never occurred to you to ask AI to do
anything that can be done on a computer, AI can now do for you

I love how if you get a facial or something they have all these autoresponders that are like IF YOU DONT COMPLETE THIS FORM WE WILL CANCEL YOUR APPOINTMENT
And then when you get there no one has heard of that form, you definitely didn't need to complete it and they just look at you like you're dumb for bringing it up
