Honestly it sounds like you don't know what you're talking about.

So surely there's more demand to hire junior engineers and their salaries have gone up?

Are you asking a company to kidnap a child? What's the ask here?

So then shouldn't someone be able to see these huge mountains of grains of sand?

> Thus, a human would've likely made the same mistake.

The AI industry and all of its sycophants in the Trump administration are working very hard to make you believe this.

Are you sure about that? They're in the middle of a huge marketing push to get people to buy into their IPO. That's "marketing for investors".

"Curing" cancer is actually a gigantic societal coordination problem.

They're the same thing, the "altruists" just lie more effectively.

He absolutely thinks we're stupid.

The only thing David Sacks ever calls for is more money and power for David Sacks.

> As Zuckerberg notes, concentrating power in the hands of an enlightened few has rarely produced the promised results; the practitioners turn out to be less enlightened in practice than in self-conception.

Pot, meet kettle.

This guy has his head in the clouds. He doesn't realize who created and fueled his "crisis of trust".

Presumably Wirecutter would need to find a way to make money recommending the universities that they have affiliate deals with. I imagine the results would be the same as the products they rate.

I'm honestly mystified why anyone ever thought it would lead to some kind of positive outcome.

Leopard who eats faces surprised to find out other leopard ate his face.

The US urgently needs coherent national policy; add AI to the (long) list

I agree, it is a beat 'em up.

Bumper sticker with a picture of Count Binface: "Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy!"

It's actually pretty easy to read. I wasn't sure how to at first, but I asked my hyperswarm of Claude Mythos bots, and after several hours they recommended I use my eyes to look at the words, and then my brain could read them. As an AI skeptic I wasn't so sure, but it indeed worked.

Looking at a kid in his 20s that says "AI will make infinite money" and then loses all his money:

> It's generational foresight not available to 99.999999999999999999% of 25 year olds.

Sounds like a fold to me.

Hollywood films and 30 second advertisements are different categories.

When someone makes a prediction but is off by a decade+, that prediction is, necessarily, wrong.

Reminds me of the engineers/designers who regularly announce they've created a new revolutionary form of bicycle. Turns out the bicycle is a (nearly) perfect design and making it more complicated and expensive and less efficient is not an improvement.

I have a bachelor's and masters in engineering and was never taught to "hack it" without regard for how a solution is reached.

Documenting and analyzing your solution is an extremely important part of managing risk, which is what engineers actually do.

"Somebody might do <bad thing> and get rich, might as well be me."

I just call these people "cowards"

This accurately describes a large portion of the people working in "tech", and it doesn't look to be getting better anytime soon.

Effectively the same thing that happened to the US: a coordinated right-wing project executed over the past fifty years or so, enabled by a society that looked at the aftermath of World War II and concluded that leftist politics are dangerous.

Capital cannot achieve absolute domination if egalitarian projects like universities persist.

Where are all the big world-changing apps that were vibe coded on this platform?

He's one of the best characters on the internet: A 48 year old man who has spent several years and many millions of dollars to look like a 48 year old man. I guess that money also built him a big, stupid business along the way.
