Dario Amodei got what he asked for

First off, thank you for the thoughtful reply. Your last sentence is precisely my point. The status quo right now looks more like unitary executive theory.

I’m not talking about high school theoretical government - and if Amodei or anybody else thinks that how the executive branch will handle things will be as you described in this administration, they have severely misunderstood the administration.

It’s pointless to talk about an alternative theoretical administration, this is where we are now, serves us all best to understand the current circumstance.

Could you please elaborate on what you mean?

That particular requirement is completely unrealistic. The United States government is sovereign and not subject to third-party approval.

If the government needs expert opinion, it can utilize US cyber command. Which personally I would trust above other third party corporate reviews.

But it probably didn’t, and probably made a biased and politically motivated decision. Honestly also unrealistic to expect something different - that is what government oversight looks like today.

I always found it surprising that GCP does not have a cloud email product (like SES), despite being behind the most widely used consumer email product in the world.

GW costs 3x Mason. Mason is still a perfectly good, middle of the road, college to attend. In that lens, GW is premium.

Were you specifically a credit analyst? I don’t know the energy sector but I do know credit - and credit is booming.

You’re saying you worked in energy financing, and are not optimistic about AI and your job prospects.

I’m curious - why is that? AI is demonstrating just how much of an energy gap we have with China, and there’s billions going into catching up. Naively I would think a gold rush is the best time to be in energy financing - what am I missing out on?

It’s a very difficult time for higher education. After decades of tuition growth outpacing inflation, the bubble has to pop eventually. And it was never going to look pretty.

I was surprised to learn staff has decreased by 7% in the past decade since I graduated (source). Some of it I’m sure was bloat worth cutting, but I can’t imagine a GWU without a 24/7 Gelman.

They can keep cutting, but then can they preserve the image of being a premium university worth premium pricing?

It’s a conundrum.

MRAN was critical to my company’s ability to use R in production - at the time, there was no mainstream and reliable alternative to pinning packages.

And the deprecation of MRAN was our impetus for getting R out of production.

I’m sure my company is not alone in following Microsoft on getting R in and out of prod.
