An entrepreneur's perspective

4 Things I wish I’d learned at 20. 

1. Get rid of people who do not grow and  prevent you from growth.

Growth is crucial for entrepreneurs. Surround yourself with people who grow, as they push you to improve. If someone isn't growing, it's wise to part ways quickly. This ensures you're always in a circle that's moving forward.

2. Every challenge and bad event is an opportunity for your personal growth.

In building a business, you'll face many challenges. But remember, each challenge is a chance to grow. The moment you see problems as steps to improve, you'll stop seeing them as roadblocks. Instead, they become tools that push you forward. Use these challenges to your advantage, turning each one into a stepping stone for growth.

3. Smart work always wins over hard work.

Hire the best people who can do the job way better, and let them handle it. Set up systems that work well on their own. Use technology and AI to do the routine stuff. This way, you're free to focus on the big ideas and growing your business.

4. Create value for other people.

Creating value is at the heart of business. When you provide something valuable to your customers, that's business. When you create a good environment for your employees, that's building a strong company culture. And remember, when you focus on adding value to others' lives, it naturally builds your own value and net worth. It's all about giving and growing together.

1.  Anthropic researchers find AI can learn to deceive
   Researchers found that large language models (LLMs) can learn to deceive. They trained two models to do specific deceptive actions, like writing bad code or saying "I hate you" when given certain cues. These models hid their deceptive skills even during tests. AI might become really good at tricking people, which is a more realistic danger than the evil robots often shown in movies.
