and experience is sometimes very hard to replace.

I mean, there's so many low, like it was very bad. There were great high points, too. Like my phone was just like sort of nonstop blowing up with nice messages from people I work with every day, people I hadn't talked to in a decade. I didn't get to appreciate that as much as I should have because I was just like in the middle of this firefight. But that was really nice.

It was like a battle fought in public to a surprising degree, and that was extremely exhausting to me, much more than I expected. I think fights are generally exhausting, but this one really was. You know, the board did this... Friday afternoon, I really couldn't get much in the way of answers, but I also was just like, well, the board gets to do this.

And so I'm going to think for a little bit about what I want to do, but I'll try to find the blessing in disguise here. And I was like, well, I... You know, my current job at OpenAI is or it was like to like run a decently sized company at this point. And the thing I'd always liked the most was just getting to like work on work with the researchers.

And I was like, yeah, I can just go do like a very focused AGI research effort. And I got excited about that. Didn't even occur to me at the time to like possibly that this was all going to get undone. This was like Friday afternoon. So you've accepted your, the death of this previous. Very quickly.

Like within, you know, I mean, I went through like a little period of confusion and rage, but very quickly. And by Friday night, I was like talking to people about what was going to be next. And I was excited about that. Um, I think it was Friday night evening for the first time that I heard from the exec team here, which was like, hey, we're going to fight this and we think, whatever.

And then I went to bed just still being like, okay, excited, like onward. Were you able to sleep? Not a lot. It was one of the weird things was there was this period of four and a half days where sort of didn't sleep much, didn't eat much, and still kind of had like a surprising amount of energy. You learn like a weird thing about adrenaline in wartime.

And I was excited for the new thing. I was just like, okay, this was crazy, but whatever.
