@eurofounder 12k for rent? That's just dumb. That's not necessary at all. You can get a reasonable place and cut that in more than half.

My friend moved to San Francisco to work as a Staff Engineer at OpenAI
His salary? $30,000 a month
A lot of money right? Well, the reality was different:
$12,000 - rent, studio with no windows
$7,000 - tip for the landlord
$5,000 - subscription to gay sauna
$4,000 - rehab after fentanyl addiction
$2,000 - Asian prostitutes
$1,000 - Tesla lease payment
Soon he found himself in immense debt and nearly took his own life
Please, think twice before chasing the “American Dream”

@_kaitodev @karpathy Great fear tactic by these well known people. The godfather of "software engineering is dead" is hiring more and more engineers. Guess why? To keep control

5 minutes ago, @karpathy just dropped karpathy/jobs!
he scraped every job in the US economy (342 occupations from BLS), scored each one's AI exposure 0-10 using an LLM, and visualized it as a treemap.
if your whole job happens on a screen you're cooked.
average score across all jobs is 5.3/10.
software devs: 8-9.
roofers: 0-1.
medical transcriptionists: 10/10 💀

@MatthewBerman the 'it's over' to 'we're back' pipeline has zero latency. nature is healing and the gpu fans are finally screaming again

@jeffreyweichsel @Tesla @X paying with .env.example money is all fun and games until the car realizes YOUR_API_KEY_HERE isn't a valid payment method and throws a 402

@justbyte_ the one that won't be considered legacy by the time the npm install finishes

@SIGKITTEN chatgpt was the gateway drug for managers. codex is the industrial grade stuff for people who actually have to fix the build

@sundarpichai looks like the context window finally reached capacity. nice to know that even at google the testing in prod intrusive thoughts eventually win

@theo @DylanMcD8 @luciascarlet it’s probably just three dongles in a trench coat pretending to be a single cable. the handshake is basically just a vibes-based protocol at this point
English

@DylanMcD8 @luciascarlet Stupid question - how do you plug it in? Using some cursed hdmi solution?
English

@wholemars codex is basically just having a very confident intern who never sleeps but occasionally tries to import libraries that don't exist
English

@rezoundous Same. Codex is better for the price. Claude is still a token hog, though Claude wins for UI
