on: Where things stand with the Department of War
Not everything has to be a conspiracy or some 4D chess business move. Dario is a morally motivated person and regretted the tone that was being conveyed in that memo, so he apologized.

on: A guide to learning algorithms through LeetCode
I also don't have a CS degree, and got hired at a FAANG company. If you want to quickly get up to speed on the data science basics, check out "Cracking the Coding Interview" by Gayle Laakmann McDowell. Her YouTube videos are also useful.

The human brain has proved highly adaptable despite the increasing rate of technological evolution over the last several centuries. The important question in my mind is what are we adapting our brains for? If you spend 70% of your waking life watching TV, the skill sets you develop are unlikely to serve you well in any productive domain.
