I feel like that misses, having seen it at Instagram, you can build a commenting system, but you also need to build the bullying filter that we built.

Actually, maybe I'll go meta for a quick second, which is the culture here at Anthropic is extremely thoughtful and very document writing oriented. So if a decision needs to be made, there's usually a document behind it. There's pros and cons to that. It means that as I joined and I was wondering, like, why did we choose to do this?

People would be like, oh, yeah, there's a doc for that, you know, and there's literally a doc for everything. And then, which helped my ramp up. But sometimes I'd be like, why have we still not built this? They're like, oh, yeah. Somebody wrote a doc about that two months ago. I'm like, well, did we do anything about it? My whole decision-making piece is I want us to get to truth faster.

None of us individually know what's right. Getting to truth could be, let's de-risk the technical side by building a technical prototype. If it's on the product side, let's get it into somebody's hands. Figma mockups are great, but how is it going to move on the screen? And so minimizing time to iteration and time to hypothesis testing is my fundamental decision-making philosophy.

I've tried to install more of that here on the product side. Again, it's a thoughtful, very deliberate culture. I don't want to lose...

most of that but i do want there to be sort of more of this uh hypothesis testing and validation components and i think people feel it when they're like oh yeah we had been debating this for a while but like we actually built it and it turns out neither of us were right and actually there's a third direction that's that's more correct at instagram we went through sort of we ran the gamut of uh strategy frameworks the one that's resonated the most with me consistently is playing to win um i go back to that often and i've instilled some of that here as well as we start thinking about you know like

What's the winning aspiration? Where are we going after? And then more specifically, and we touched upon this in even our conversation today, where will we play? Because we're not the biggest team by size. We're not the biggest chat UI by usage. We're not the biggest AI model by usage either. We've got a lot of interesting players in the space.
