Why do some founders and investors repeatedly make great decisions under a lot of uncertainty? They have an intuitive understanding of "startup risk".

I wrote a deep dive that demystifies what I believe is going on in their heads and shared it privately earlier in the year.

By popular request, I'm posting it publicly now. I hope it resonates.

I love this project and Robert is one of the most awesome, thoughtful people in the security world.

My $0.02: A). join (or start) a startup. I suspect most would love to have someone like you or B). at a larger organization, join a team that is carved out from the overall org working on a new initiative. Depending on the company, job posts may specifically call out this sort of team.

Thanks for sharing. I'm a sucker for anything advancing causal reasoning amongst technical folks :)

This is delightful. As someone who uses AI/ML/MI/... for security, I find there is not nearly enough understanding for how attackers can subvert decision systems in practice.

Keep up the good work!

Be very very glad citizenlab exists in the world. They're doing good work against very strong, very well funded adversaries.
