About this episode
September 16, 2026: I look at Anthropic's push for independent AI evaluators and why its preferred watchdog, METR, raises questions about conflicts, trust, and regulatory capture. Then I get into why "be your authentic self" may be terrible career advice and why the better advice is to be your best professional self. Finally, I unpack Mark Zuckerberg's argument that lawsuits, customers, competition, and trust may do more to keep AI companies careful than a forced industry slowdown.
