Taxing unrealized capital gains might place Silicon Valley entrepreneurs like myself in jail. Udacity stock went up and down (on paper!), but at its "unicorn" prime I would not have been able to pony together the cash necessary to pay those taxes. Jail time for people who build? Atlas, please shrug.

"According to @LinkedIn ’s analysis of its 500 million users, emerging online educational platforms like @udacity , FreeCodeCamp, and General Assembly have each placed more full-stack engineers into jobs this past year than any American university." fastcompany.com/90205557/how…

Can we give @elonmusk and @VivekGRamaswamy options for the US economy worth one trillion dollars, contingent on the Dow hitting $60,000 (inflation-adjusted)? There is only one person in the world who can do this. It would be a small price to pay.

Sad to see so many promising AI startup throwing the towel. Are we all back to getting rich fast? Or did those founders all believe that hype is business success? Sad.

I really wonder why so many AI companies seem to blindly compete for building the same thing: the best foundational models, as measured by some abstract set of benchmarks. It feels like there is now an entire ecosystems of companies that want to outperform GPT.x. Why?

Today was an awful reminder of what happened in Germany on Feb 27, 1933. It didn't end well. I love the USA, I love the freedoms we all enjoy, and and I love democratic system. Let us be stronger than my ancestors in the Weimar Republic.

Couldn't be more excited about @udacity 's willingness to offer a month of our classes for free. This is an unprecedented situation, and none of us knows where it will lead us. I sincerely hope we will emerge strong and united.
#COVID19 has changed our lives. In a scenario when education and workforce are experiencing some of the biggest challenges, learning new #skills should be made more accessible. Hence, we're excited to announce one free month on 40+ Nanodegree programs. bit.ly/3al84UT

We are now truly democratizing software engineering. With LLMs, computers can be programmed in plain English. So anyone who is fluent in English can now be a programmer. Going forward, who would want to pay big bucks for "experts" to manually generate cryptic computer code? We just made ourselves obsolete!

LLMs are like mirrors. They are trained with text written by people. So if we find their output to be harmful, we need to remember they just mirror back to us what's readily available on the Internet. Should we punish the mirror if we don't like what we see? Really?

A few days ago I had the opportunity to ask Sam Altman about the future of jobs in the age of AGI. He gave a brilliant answer: People and their jobs will evolve with the tools they use. Couldn't agree more. AGI will make work so much better for humanity. AGI will open entire new possibilities for humanity. (and yes the transition will be challenging and we need to be socially responsible).

Don't pay $80k. At @udacity you can build a new career for less than $2k. And it'll be more fun. Learning through projects not boring professor videos!
Was talking with someone last week about something unrelated + he remarked that he's upset about paying $80K for his daughter to "watch college lectures online" and it dawned on me that this could be the thing that finally bursts the bubble that Peter was talking about years ago.
