Getting Back To It

AI researcher and writer Sarah Constantin has broken a long silence with a new blog post, marking her return to public discourse after a period focused on personal life, including having a baby, and a solo consulting stint. She announces she is actively job hunting for team-based AI roles in research or applications, with a preference for science-connected work, and outlines her skills in running ML experiments, building LLM wrapper tools, and life sciences due diligence. The post serves as both a professional update and a re-entry into sharing her perspective on the fast-moving AI field.

Technically, the post is notable for detailing the personal AI tools Constantin built during her hiatus. She created an all-in-one life-tracker app using Claude Code to replace Roam and Complice, and a sophisticated personal CRM that used Claude to analyze her email text and web search data to categorize contacts by profession, employer, and location. She also shares her nuanced opinions on AI, expressing enthusiasm for use while valuing critical 'grognard' perspectives, her disdain for AI-assisted writing, and concern over the DOD's reported order for Anthropic to remove Claude's safeguards. The post signals a respected voice re-engaging with the community's technical and ethical debates.
