Nature is Laughing at the AI Build Out -
I was catching up on Acquired episodes this week and listened to the spectacular “Google: The AI Company” episode that Ben and David put together. What the two of them have created with their podcast fascinates me in the inevitability of its success. I think Acquired proves that if you are smart and work your […]

Former Tesla AI boss Andrej Karpathy is joining Anthropic.
Karpathy, who had also been on the founding team of OpenAI, says he will be working on R&D at Anthropic. Previously, he had been working on “new kind of school that is AI native,” and he says he’s still “deeply passionate about education” and plans to go back to it “in time.” [Image: A screenshot of an X post from Andrej Karpathy. https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/Screenshot-2026-05-19-at-8.38.56AM.png?quality=90&strip=all]

Andrej Karpathy joining Anthropic is not just a famous researcher changing labs. The important part is where he is reportedly going: pre-training, and a team using Claude to accelerate pre-training research. pic.twitter.com/35mu5r22ev— Sensemaker (@sensemaker_ai) May 19, 2026

Just back from a truly impactful few days at Asilomar for the Brain and Mind, hosted by the brilliant team at BrainMind. The spirit of the 1975 Recombinant DNA Conference felt palpable as we gathered to chart ethical standards for the accelerating field of Neurotech. While our focus was on neuroethics, from investor diligence questions and board-level risk matrices to user/stakeholder engagement and toolkits for neuroentrepreneurs, the key themes shared a powerful parallel with AI Ethics: maintain and enhance human agency, combat misuse and mistrust, and acknowledge that innovation is moving faster than its guardrails. Both fields present novel challenges that demand we adapt our existing frameworks and principles to meet new challenges. At the heart of it all is human agency. Whether we're discussing neurodevices or large language models, our core responsibility as builders, executives, investors, and policymakers is to ensure people are informed, in control, and never burdened to fight for their own empowerment or autonomy. We have the fundamental responsibility to care about the people we serve. This commitment to responsible, human-centric development is fundamental to our work at Inflection AI. We're building with emotional intelligence at the core. Every product decision we make starts with a simple question: does this expand what people can do, or does it quietly shift the burden onto them? AI should work for the humans using it, amplifying judgment, not replacing it. Earning trust through transparency rather than demanding it through dependency. A special thank you to Diana Saville for once again outdoing herself at every event and to Michael McCullough, MD for his endless support of the ecosystem. And to all the Braingels who showed up and rolled up their sleeves! Let's translate the urgency from Asilomar into action and continue to drive positive change.
