    TLDR

    In a 289-second video, Sabrina Halper, Stanford radio host and podcaster, stated that half the co-founders of Anthropic were theoretical physicists. She said Jared Kaplan worked in the same area of physics as she did. Halper added that Dario was in physics at Princeton but more on the bio side. She described an exodus of physicists toward more interesting problems.

    @SabrinaHalper"I think half the co-founders of Anthropic were theoretical physicists. Jared Kaplan was exactly in the same area of physics as I was. Dario was in physics back in the day, also at Princeton, but he was more on the bio side. There's been an exodus of physicists to more interesting problems, and I think that's for a good reason" Why @matanSF dropped out of his physics PhD at Princeton
    @andrewgwilsHowever the exodus of physicists has had a transformative effect on the rest of science: neuroscience, biophysics, and, of course, AI. The technical foundations, intuitions, and creativity brought by physicists has raised the bar across the scientific effort. 2/2
