i'm late to the party but this is incredible
not just how to be good at research, but how to be good at anything:
"luck favors the prepared mind...the daily edges look trivial in isolation. what you read, what you record, how fast your loop runs, who you argue with. give them a few years and they produce careers that look like luck from the outside. start compounding earlier than feels necessary. future you already knows this was the cheap part."

i've been thinking a lot about what AI means for creativity, design, and building your own things, so sharing some thoughts on the topic

I went through @pangram Co-Founder and CEO @max_spero_'s entire X feed and one of his interviews too, and then jumped to the Pangram docs and research paper. I just bought a Pangram subscription, lol. Honestly speaking, I am not afraid to speak about that, but it really changed my perspective on AI writing and how valuable it is to write down your own thoughts. I feel like I was dishonest and afraid of how people would judge my final writing. Would they love the style, would they love the words that I used, how would people perceive me? I think that's the reason I used AI to give those final touches, improve the styling, improve the structure, and give it better polishing.
Sometimes the things that take you down in life also give you an edge and improve you, and I feel that kind of happened to me. I am just apologizing to myself for using it. I know my article went viral. It got 5 million views, 11k likes, and most of the people loved it, but looking back at it, I am not proud of it, and I am not going to wear it as a badge. I am still so thankful that the article really impacted people's lives.
Even in the future, I am going to write everything myself. Maybe the conversations behind it on how to improve my styling, my structure, and my context I can have with LLMs, but everything I write is going to be completely written by me from now on.
Even though in the viral article, the examples I had used, the scientists and their stories that I mentioned, were my own information diet and the way I connected with them (every conversation is recorded), if I had used my own choice of words, I would have been so proud right now, even if it got criticism. A part of me was guilty, but I didn't realize it.

One thing you don't realize till you have haters is that haters are also stalkers. They're obsessed with you, and in practice this obsessiveness is more disturbing than the nastiness of what they actually say. It's so creepy.

the world is full of negatives. the right move is usually to stay quiet and do good work (was told this numerous time)
it's easy to say something bad about someone you've never met. there's no need to hate. no one deserves it.
if someone's posts bother you, just mute them.

writing this as clearly and as honestly as I can.
first, thank you so much for the love and support. and I'm sorry for the confusion I caused.
i advanced to the next round of MATS for the empirical track but i did not receive a final offer letter. that was my mistake in how I communicated it and i really own that and i am sorry for it. once I realized it myself I removed every mention of MATS from my profile because I wanted to try to be honest. I do have confrontation issues. I get that.
what I can confirm is that i did get selected for the AI Safety Fellowship at Anthropic. in a month or so ill share my experience and my work with you guys and i did had an internship at Starbucks. ill post the offer letter and the entire kit in a picture maybe and i also did get selected for TIFF and it was send out by an official tiff id
if you need proof, DM me and I'm happy to screenshare the emails or any credentials i just don't think it should be public and if i trust you shouldnt post it publicly too
i also felt dishonest about writing the "how to be good at research" article with AI assistance even if it was only for style, grammar, or polish. so many people have no problem with that. but I felt guilty. I had put in all the reading, all the references, tried to connect everything but using AI afterwards didn't feel right to me. I should have kept it in my own voice. I'm sorry for that too.
I won't be engaging in any further discussion. the hate has spread far and some people even doubted my panic attacks those are real, and have been since childhood.
I've never faced this kind of hatred before. but even through this, I want to thank @anpaure for making me realize something important which was when you accidentally do something wrong, clarify it openly. be more upfront. own it. although his post ruined everything but its totally fine.
I'll be focusing on my research. when I come back, I'll come back with solid work. I don't know exactly what's next I may step away for a while or dont continue with anything or just run away from everything i really have no idea i dont wanna put anything emotional because people in the comments will say i am a crybaby or i deserve it
but thank you for everything.

getting an immediate answer can solve immediate problems, but if instead of a solution, you came upon a chain of reasoning, you might actually solve several future problems for yourself too. that chain of reasoning is the real learning. one of the advantages of intelligence is that its not context-free, just-in-time delivery. good thinking builds on itself. AI, like all summary, strips context.

Do yourself a favor and block 15 mins to read this and many hours to act upon it.
We are now way too dependent on LLMs and have outsourced our thinking there. Time to get back to thinking with a piece of paper. Long form writing pushes you think hard and think clearly.
And remember, at the end of the day, the person you are fooling is yourself.

i think we need to be just as critical of our voices as they are of us. don’t let them get away with flimsy arguments for why you suck simply because those arguments feel “right.” that’s bullshit too ~ something you’ll realize the more you cultivate an internal taste for truth and see how fast that “right” feeling fades.

I made a free guide to AI fellowships, for anyone early in AI who keeps hearing "apply to a fellowship" without ever being told which one, for what, or how.
Here's what's in it.

I turned @itsreallyvivek's “how to be good at research” essay into an agent skill.
research-craft helps agents plan better research loops: choose problems, forecast experiments, keep logs, inspect failures, and tighten iteration.

the thing to understand about being quiet is that when you do talk, people tend to listen. the first time, at least. if what you say is interesting, they’ll keep listening. “you’re so thoughtful” is how most people frame it.
naturally, they want more but what they don't understand is that those opinions are like lotus flowers. they’re surrounded by mud, not more blossoms.
i promise I’m not cherry-picking from a sea of perfectly thought-through opinions ~ i'm just spending more time polishing each one that does spring up to perfection.

to live, fully and deeply is to be, in one way or another, at constant risk of having your heart shattered into a million pieces on the floor.
the nature of true love is the risk of deep heartbreak.
the nature of starting a business is that it could absolutely fail.
remember: no one can sell you anything to prevent that.
and nor should we desire it. those very failures are the portals through which we find the most expansion and growth, if only we have the humility and the patience to allow it.
