And the Andrej Karpathy skills is a tool based on his set of principles for Claude code, and somebody just released that. And so, it's just pretty crazy when you think about it. He's going to be in charge of a new pre-training team at Anthropic. The focus, obviously, being recursive self-improvement. In

Representative public comments
GREAT episode! Even more-so than usual.
Jason, Thank you! ‘Covert’ is the right word when it is done without being open about it.
Chamath is so detached from normal people's lives.. Does the Uber driver or Amazon worker want their job? Or WHAT? Not have their job and not be able to pay the bills? If you're offering them a funner or easier job, ask them that, but don't ask them if they like their job, because they're choosing it because they pr...
Chamath always looking at off ramp to dump on main street
Friedberg, you bring a depth and a broader, wiser perspective to this podcast that it otherwise lacks.
Chamath, the reason why Amazon warehouses have 30 to 40 percent turnover isn’t because of the job itself but the conditions upon which that Amazon make them work in due to lack of workers rights. Don’t be dishonest.
