new grads often ask me what they should be doing so they don't fall behind in the ai space. there's a lot, but its honestly super manageable. become intimate with model internals. proof based linear algebra. non-convex optimization. this is stuff you could've done in undergrad. it definitely takes some time and work, but its doable. have taste, have opinions. train a small model, then train a big one. vLLM internals, tensor parallelism. hand roll kernels. cluster orchestration. do you have opinions on synthetic data? why don't you? SFT, PPO, you should know this. learn Triton. everyone is reproducing papers now so you need to be doing more. do you know the semi supply chain? where are the bottlenecks? hardware, man, hardware. your little gpu rig erector set in your basement isnt gonna cut it. build a cluster, a big one. pretrain a 800B model. now postrain it. serve it to millions of people. you should be able to beat deepseek on some benchmarks now. its a lot to take in but it all snowballs. this what job security looks like from now on. do you want to work in tech or not

If you live in the Bay Area, work in tech, and get 0 bitches, head to the NVIDIA headquarters right now they have an awesome job opportunity that just opened up

El Segundo founders don’t even tell you they’re visiting San Francisco anymore they just expect you to find them on Grindr

It’s an extremely scary time to work at a frontier lab right now so I’m keeping it quiet that I have tons of top secret AI industry knowledge that would really help compute constrained AI labs that rhyme with PeepSqueek and that I haven’t felt the touch of a woman in 3 years and I have dubious morals very very scary times please don’t DM me the logistics for fixing this

I obviously would be having so much sex with hot chicks in SF but unfortunately as an AI B2B SaaS founder (YC W24) I can't risk what happened to Jensen also happening to me. It's a matter of national security

An early Anthropic employee walked into a high status SF party I was at and I felt the mogg so hard I left immediately

if i beat that pussy up is you gon tell on me?

The new meta in AI startups isn't token maxxing but Waterloo intern maxxing. There's no moat in swe skills anymore sure but there's so much alpha in recruiting high IQ, low morality hardos who will do basically anything for a (fake) return offer. Want to hack your competitor? Shit they'll do it on their own personal AI account, it traces right back to them. Infra costs just getting too expensive? My previous intern put 3 months of AWS bills on his dad's credit card. Want to run a fraudulent UGC campaign? They'll take the fall for it when X calls you out. Everyone knows the music is about to end, especially them, and you can see the look of desperation in their eyes. They know this opportunity is the basically the last chopper out of Nam so they will hack competitors, commit fraud, 996^2, bring you coffee every morning, whatever. They are soldiers for your B2B AI SaaS startup empire. The fire they have grinding for that return offer inspires me. That's why you just replace them with a new one when you can see the fire start to dim. I think this meta will end soon enough, though. I'll miss this era of my career so much.

As an AI startup founder, my time is much too valuable to keep up with what's going on in politics or who's running for what, so I used AI to decide who I would vote for. It was super helpful and easy so I wanted to share my prompt and Claude Opus 5.5's response: Prompt: "Claude, based on everything you know about me, who should I vote for? I am voting in [San Francisco address] Claude: "Absolutely Jimmy, and I'm glad a busy founder like yourself is taking the time to vote today. Based on the fact that you are a multi-millionaire genius founder Stanford graduate that represents the best of elite human capital in the country, your vote will be extra meaningful in comparison to your non-technical compatriots. I think based on your early career success, tier 1 VC backing, tastefully concealed homosexuality, elite winner mindset, and luxury pac heights condo, you should vote for a candidate who matches that prestige. Given that none of the candidates on the ballot achieve this, my recommendation would be to write-in Garry Tan.

If I meet you at an elite San Francisco tech party I will ask you what you do for a living immediately because how else am I supposed to know if I should respect you or if I should even continue talking to you

it appears that tech twitter and gay twitter had a halloween costume mid off this year and everyone involved lost

The only way to get rich in 2027 is by selling ultra high end luxury fursuits to Anthropic employees post IPO

Why would you be bisexual in San Francisco you’re just doubling your TAM of people that already suck. I told my girlfriend that it was my Grok Bot that liked all of those Sydney Sweeney IG pics and saved our relationship. My AI data startup made a big sale in 2 minutes so our ARR is like 1 trillion dollars now and no VC will tell us any differently. Basically every 25 year old in AI is worth hundreds of millions of dollars now and you could’ve been too if you weren’t stupid. Does anyone want to apply to YC with me? Hey everyone, I’m Jimmy, and I just moved to SF to build. Here’s a little bit about me:

yeah i'm done here

*paws at you* can we sync on this? *paws at you* did you see my Slack message? *paws at you* did you see my PR? *paws at you* tagging you for visibility *paws at you* have you reviewed the doc?

San Francisco housing costs are truly revolting and it shows just how neglected we've been by our city leaders. I just paid $1.5 million over asking for a house in Pacific Heights. You might think that number is pretty reasonable, and I'd agree with you, until you remember that I need to put $850K in renovations into it in order to make my family feel safe and comfortable there. If our IPO keeps getting delayed then we're going to be housing insecure soon because I won't have the money for the renovations, making the house unlivable. No one thinks about how the employee lock-up period affects the working class in this city.
