E43: Safety, Scaling Laws, and the Future of Claude with Nicholas Marwell (Anthropic)
This week, we sat down with Nicholas Marwell, a member of the technical staff at Anthropic. Anthropic is one of the most fascinating companies of the decade, building foundation models focused on safe AI.
We explore joining the post-training team at Anthropic, why folks started to be concerned about safety, understanding a model's neurons, using Claude at work, two areas Nick is most excited for AI to disrupt, and where value will accrue.
