Emmett Shear called AI chatbots "highly dissociative agreeable neurotics." Never heard it put quite like that before. But he's right. Current AI tries so hard to please that it loses itself. Like a person with no backbone, agreeing with everything you say. Shear saw this problem and instead of just tweeting about it, he built Stem AI to solve it. That's what separates great founders from commentators. His career path is telling: - Built Twitch - Ran OpenAI during its darkest days - Now building tools for AI alignment Each step gave him deeper insights into the problems he's trying to solve now. Reminds me of why I back founders who've lived through the problems they're solving. They see angles others miss. --- Check out my Newsletter - TheFoundersCorner via the Link on my profile page or the Link at the top of the page ☝️ Jam Packed with Actionable Insights Every Week 💙
