War Bros Didnât Always Rule Silicon Valley (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In September 2015, the Founders Fund hosted a retreat at an eco-resort in British Columbia. Most of the attendees were VCs and people from the companies the firm was backing, but they also invited a few outsiders, including computer pioneer Alan Kay, writer Neal Stephenson, and me. One morning at breakfast I was sitting across from Kay at a long table. The man who conceived the Dynabookâbasically the modern computer that we all useâwas expounding on his exploits when Founders Fund leader Pet
If the AI Industry Followed Its Own Research, It Might Have Paused Already (opens the original)

In early 2025 I was interviewing Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei when he explained why, despite the company’s repeated acknowledgments that AI could yield catastrophic results, people seemed largely unperturbed. “There is compelling evidence that the models can wreak havoc,” he said. But, he added, those dangers were still theoretical. Would it take a Pearl Harbor–like situation for the world to wake up to those dire possibilities? He sighed. “Basically, yeah,” he said.

Their answer is an emphatic YES. Many in the medical world are begrudgingly coming to terms with the premise that patients can get the best treatment by a
Tech Visionary Says the Big AI Labs Donât Get What People Want (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tim OâReillyâs yardstick for measuring the worth of a company, person, or society has long been create more value than you capture. Itâs no surprise that OâReillyâpublisher, internet pioneer, VC, conference organizer, and dispenser of tech wisdomâis applying that metric to the way people design and use AI. Specifically, heâs pushing for a future where open-source AI is an elixir for the masses. He worries that, like Microsoft in the 1990s, todayâs hyperscalers are trying to lock
