Should have taken that hybrid role in 2023
REPORT: Anthropic will make 1,000+ employees worth more than $100M if it IPOs at a $2T valuation That's every employee hired before 2024 About 1 in 70 people in America with $100M+ net worths will be Anthropic employees. That rises to 1 in 50 including OpenAI, if it also succeeds in its IPO 3,000+ Anthropic employees will be millionaires Only SpaceX has minted more millionaires at 4,400

Date a vendor? Sorry I barely know them!
We're announcing the public beta of datavendor.ai We spent the last two years building the best solution for people buying and selling data, whether you're a researcher in a lab or a company trying to sell data. Data is the fundamental bottleneck for AI progress, and DataVendor will be the infra that solves it.
