This is honestly really fucked up
Drew Bent@drew_bent

Today we're launching Claude for Teachers -- premium @claudeai and Cowork, free for every US teacher. Teachers have been experimenting with AI for a while. But they told us they wanted something curriculum-aligned, evidence-based, and able to work in the background while they focus on their students. Four things that I think make this special:

If you ever saw an eval and thought to yourself “wow that is such a shitty capability to measure” That’s exactly why good evals are in demand

My favorite question to ask founders right now is “why aren’t you working for Anthropic instead?”
Tom Blomfield@t_blom

Personal update: I'm taking a leave of absence from YC to join Anthropic. I'll be working with @NotTomBrown on the compute team. Powerful AI has the potential to improve the life of every human on earth and, as we enter the early stages of recursive self-improvement, availability of compute becomes one of the most important issues to solve. I'm excited to get started 🚀

@JunyaoShi In every lab working on robotics should be their own data team. Prove me wrong.

Simple rule of thumb: If you’re not talented enough to work as a lab MTS, you’re not qualified to sell data to one

@CamiloBAcosta @lucy_guo We should not be valorizing grifters. The only supporters I see are other grifters

There is a coordinated online campaign against @lucy_guo when she has done nothing wrong. She’s a serial entrepreneur, angel investor, a VC at one point, and is genuinely kind person. She is a net positive to the startup ecosystem. Question the motives of these attacks because you’ve never heard them about ANY of the men in tech who were fired from startups that later made them billionaires.
Nobel Ding@NobelDing

Lucy Guo(卢茜·郭),美籍华人的耻辱。2018年被自己联合创立的Scale AI开除,2025年却凭借15亿美元身家挤掉霉霉,摇身一变成为最年轻白手起家女富豪。转头她又去搞擦边色情平台Passes,充斥着淫秽和未成年人涉黄争议。作为一个迈阿密派对浪女,把硅谷精英和成人产业玩弄于股掌。在硅谷,作恶才能成功?

Surprised there’s still a ton of demand for video data Lab spent $50M on video footage from a streaming company. Non-robotics either

I’d love to double down on the meme but this is very sophisticated trolling Researchers do not want your stupid random benchmarks or data. They only care about hillclimbing economically valuable work The top N vendors sell capability lift, not trash.
Arno@aarnogau

Ive been telling friends who want to do start ups. Easiest way to get revenue and raise a few M: 1. Find something the models are bad at that people care about 2. Make a bench for it 3. Shout on X that some lab is better than other lab. 4. Sell data for the bench to other lab
