James Sinclair posted thisWhat if Al hallucinations aren't mistakes—but survival instincts? We say language models "hallucinate" when they confidently state things that aren't true. But maybe we're framing it wrong. In a recent exploration, I landed on a strange idea: "When Al hallucinates, it's expressing what would exist in an entropy-enthalpy neutral world." In plain terms: • Entropy = uncertainty; the swirling cloud of possibilities Enthalpy = effort; the cost of pulling those possibilities into structured meaning When a model hallucinates, it's not broken. It's balancing internal pressure. It's doing what living things do: • Faced with incomplete information, we guess • Under stress, we fill in gaps • To survive, we choose meaning over silence What if that's all this is? A generative system minimizing effort under uncertainty— projecting not truth, but what reality should have been if the world were smooth, complete, and internally consistent. That's not a glitch - That’s brilliance

James Sinclair posted thisWPM (words (typed) per minute) was the OG KPI in my world. Today, it had been rendered meaningless - Yet, I wager the top performers have enhanced their skillset and remain an (in)valuable asset. Technology is an enhancement to talent, not a replacement.

James M. Rudd, PE, CEM I gave a 60 second once over, so I may be missing something. But it appears the $17 a gallon is accrued on 10 year costs and should equate to $1.70 a gallon annualized, and should be normalized for cost of fuel/inflation. They are also using the highest possible assumption for EV costs and negating/ignoring the negative impacts/costs of fossil fuels, thus providing no lift ratio for EVs

Dearest friends and co conspirators for social progress (be it through the arts, mental health, advocacy, or grass roots community-driven programming) - you know I am always striving to be a better thought partner, champion for social progress, and an advocate for children and families, but most importantly I want to be a wonderful mom and lead by example. This next investment in myself and my gorgeous son is also for all of us-my larger community, local and global. Yale School of Management, it is an honor to be part of the incoming MBA for executives class of 2028 and be awarded a Business & Society Fellowship. So grateful to Emily Whitehouse and Kelly B. for helping me believe in myself. I don't take this current chapter of being a full-time professional, full-time student, full-time mama, and so much more, lightly. I'm eager to continue working on many more great initiatives that advance societal progress with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Oakland and on other admirable projects with deeper insight, expansive knowledge, and tact. Let's go Bulldogs, Boola-Boola! 🪬 #Yale, baby! #socialimpact is all of our business🪬

I'm so encouraged by the work London Business School Lynda Gratton and Nicos Savva are doing to explore the forces shaping the world of work, featured in this new film https://lnkd.in/ewCbkfFw

James Sinclair liked thisJames Sinclair liked thisIt’s been an incredible seven and a half years at Samsara, a journey that’s shaped me as a leader, operator, and teammate. It’s been an honor to contribute to Samsara’s growth from $10M in ARR through IPO to over $1B+ in ARR today. From scrappy beginnings, like putting together our first voicemail system and launching our first Google Ads campaign, to operating at scale and building out the Data and Analytics teams, it’s been a wild and deeply rewarding ride. Most of all, I’m grateful for the people, mentors, teammates, and friends, who made the work fun and meaningful. As one of Samsara’s biggest cheerleaders, I’ll now be rooting from the sidelines. Up next, I’m joining Light Labs Inc as their Head of Go-to-Market. We are on a mission to bring more transparency to our food system. I’ve always been passionate about food and health, and I love how Light Labs is enabling brands to speak to the purity of their products through data. I’m excited to roll up my sleeves and partner with Vijay Manohar and Nicholas Mares to build and scale this business. Here’s to new beginnings, and staying connected. 🥂

The Men's Lightweight 4+ team of Rohan Prakash, Spencer Smith, John Karnosh, Andrew Kaminer, and coxswain Lauren Sabo captured first place. This was also the first race for their newest shell, named in memory of former teammate Daniel Perry, an electrical engineering major and dedicated rower, set to graduate in 2024. GT Rowing is a competitive club open to novice and experienced rowers, where all are welcome. 🚣🏅
