Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

It is all over the news that Angola paid €12 million to bring Messi and his Argentina national team to Africa for a friendly match. Out of curiosity, I decided to browse through the pages of several Angolan influencers, expecting to see them cursing their country for what many would easily call an obvious case of misplaced priority. To my surprise, even though a good number of them openly disagree with their government on many issues, it was still hard to find a single person insulting the country over the government’s decision to pay millions of dollars just to bring Argentina to play in Angola. I will pray to see when Nigerians will disgrace with the government’s actions or policies and still keep the sense of national pride intact, regardless of the political debate.
