Many people try to gain employment through the front door:=
they find
a job advertisement, send their resume, and hope that someone =

entrances into the building. Conversations at parties, warm

alternatives. Some=

THE SIGMOIDS WON'T SAVE YOU (8 MINUTE READ) [13]=20

decline in bi=

<strong>A revolutionary cancer trea= tment could transform autoimmune disease (15 minute read)</strong>
</span>
<span style=3D"font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
CAR T cell therapy was originally desig= ned to target and wipe out cancer by reprogramming patients' immune cells. =
It is now being offered to patients in clinical trials for autoimmune condi= tions. There's still uncertainty about how well the treatment works for aut= oimmunity and how any benefits might last, as well as what long-term side e= ffects might arise. Another major challenge is that the therapy can cost hu= ndreds of thousands of dollars after accounting for hospital stays, cell en= gineering, and other expenses.

<span style=3D"font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
Agents have gotten really good in the l= ast fifteen months. They can now be used for real work with light supervisi= on. AI can now be used for writing code changes, investigating and fixing b= ugs, research in large code bases, manual testing, and more. It still isn't=
suitable for writing public communications, unreviewed code, or testing UI=
s, but its capabilities are improving quickly.

<strong>How to enter side doors (17=

</span>
<span style=3D"font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
Many people try to gain employment thro= ugh the front door: they find a job advertisement, send their resume, and h= ope that someone on the other side notices them. Most people don't realize = there are other entrances into the building. Conversations at parties, warm=
introductions, cold emails, and visible proof of work are viable alternati= ves. Sometimes, it's about creating a signal that attracts the exact person=

</span>
<span style=3D"font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
The idea that all exponentials eventual=
