Monday session
Ben Thompson’s article about Anthropic and the Pentagon is worth a read, although not everyone is going to be satisfied with it. Anthropic is an interesting company because it feels like they don’t fully believe in their own product. Like Dario Amodei kind of wishes he was working on something else.
Very happy to welcome my old friend, John Palfrey, back to the web. I added his feed to my blogroll on scripting.com. His first new piece is about his experience at the AI Action Summit in February, in Delhi. He was executive director at Berkman when I was there in the early 00s. It feels like the old band is getting back together. ;-)
