HOW BUILDING AN HTML-FIRST SITE DOUBLED OUR USERS OVERNIGHT

Government websites are public services that should be available to everyone. They should work on every machine possible, even when connections are poor, and forms must never lose data once it is entered.

This concept of building with simpler technology can be applied to normal websites: increasing accessibility increases reach.

ANTHROPIC CEO DARIO AMODEI HAS ONLY ONE DIRECT REPORT

Anthropic's version of leadership allows its CEO, Dario Amondei, to protect nearly all of his time for big-picture conversation, organizational culture, and giving input on research direction and strategy. The company's executive team reports to Dario's sister, Anthropic President Daniela Amondei, who handles the company's day-to-day operations and reports to Anthropic's board. Dario's only direct report is Anthropic Chief of Staff, Avital Balwit. This is unusual in the tech sector, where many leaders are eliminating layers of management and widening spans of control.

While AI has the potential to create significant wealth, it could destroy many jobs, leading to a series of unusual ideas on how to relieve pressure on the companies responsible for those job losses.
