1. Anthropic didn’t sign the open-weights letter but everyone else did. It made me realize the open vs. closed debate isn’t really about capability, it’s about who you trust and having worked on deepfake detection at one of my internships, the question: “who controls the model that decides what’s fake” is becoming more of a reality.
2. I keep wanting to make a pitch deck before I’ve built anything, and Maya’s cold email thing is a reminder that nobody cares about polish, they care if you clearly understand the problem. When working on startups you want to make sure your motivation and definitions are as clear as possible. I’m taking a SCET Challenge Lab Course this semester and I will apply this there by focusing on prototyping and ensuring my message is as clear as possible.
3. Would love an episode about AI for trust, fraud, deepfakes, etc.
