On 9 October 2026 I posted two X updates: a reply to @ankitkr0 about Jack Clark’s career trajectory and a repost of @Sakowsk1Michael’s comment on the opacity of career‑choice information in emerging AI fields.
Jack Clark moved from being a Bloomberg journalist to studying AI for a few months and then co‑founded Anthropic.
He still writes a weekly newsletter, which I used to read in the 2015/6 era.
I only discovered his Anthropic co‑founder role many years later.
Nobody tells you about these jobs when it’s time to choose a career.
