"It's amazing how quickly you can be a world-class in something cause most people aren't trying that hard" really inspiring word!!

So they were outstanding software engineers who put in a ton of work on a new field.. not surprised but they inspire me the fck out

The CEO of AI21 said, “there are perhaps 200 people in the world who are simultaneously excellent researchers and engineers.” And this is why there are only a few companies with the capacity to build SOTA models.

I KNEW Tristan Hume will be mentioned somewhere. Big fan of his work. Dwarkesh, if you could please talk to Tristan on the pod, we will be grateful 🙏

My guess is that mathematical maturity takes the longest to build, as does learning general principles of research. Once you're good at both you can get to the top pretty fast by only focusing on what's driving the progress.

this, the limiting factor almost always comes down to ones core understanding of the math

Great chat & insightful comments

They were lucky to be on the cutting edge of the hyped Gen-AI field. Some researchers have been doing research for 30 years unnoticed.

i think the issue is doing it alone , anthropic is a team....Genius researcher dont wanna collaborate

"manufacture luck". makes so much sense

Very inspired by their story, and I have to say this is among the top content that I have seen recently

As an engineer I can say that vision, enthusiasm, learning attitude, ownership and empathy is also a quality which distinguishes an engineer. Vision, enthusiasm and learning attitude is pretty personal. Empathy for the every stakeholder which includes yourself, fellow engineers, PMs, leadership and customers. What it means is that you write better code which could understood by you and any one reading it. Adding proper logs, telemetry which would be helpful in debugging and reporting numbers to PMs, leadership and also helps analyze the product feedback. This video, I have bookmarked as it is a great video to understand the mindset of great engineers.

Very insightful

this the greatest podcast i have ever heard so much to learn from these 2 amazing

this defiinitely is a good interview, just honest personal advise

If you go ham [in a niche field].

Who is the one on thw White t shirt?

Put these two next to connor leahy and let them have a thorough discussion!

I'm top of my field in my profession, literally can't go higher without moving completely into full time leadership...that said, i'm not a fan of talking down others as lacking drive or initiative and hence that's how you did well. Because you can easily spin that around as failed leadership. Not everyone is a 22 year old kid with nothing else to do, some are parents, others struggle with personal issues, others simply aren't motivated...but could be.

That is an amazing shirt
