Once in a blue moon, I think about Pillar. Pillar, the petty thief, that is, not the structure. It was in my final year of high school, in the boys’ dorm. I woke up to a ruckus in the middle of the night. It must have been 3 AM. The boys were gathered in front …
OpenAI and Anthropic are the Microsoft and Apple of today’s world. People keep pitting them against each other and framing this as a winner-takes-all race, but that is far from the truth.

Most humans find it easier to speak than to write. Writing is a much more difficult task because it forces you to transform your ideas into letters and think about structure.
