@markhendy 🤯 The rate of AI development now is insane. Causes us to have to be more precise about what words like “intelligent”, “think” and “sentient” mean. Also words like “exciting” and “terrifying” 😂

@simondebanke Saw this and thought of you.

Tom Gara@tomgara

This discussion between a Google engineer and their conversational AI model helped cause the engineer to believe the AI is becoming sentient, kick up an internal shitstorm and get suspended from his job. And it is absolutely insane. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

@annimaniac Working in person appears to be much more powerful than remotely. But ONLY if people want to be there. Therefore it is business owners’ responsibility to make it more enjoyable and rewarding to work in person.

Ann Miura-Ko 🦖@annimaniac·8 Mar

Startups that buck the trend and commit to in person are more likely to hire great young talent. I’m seeing talented young engineers say they are “done with remote”

@chrishlad Deliver more value than you receive by as great a margin as you can sustain.

@NikkiAndBunty @N_Polderman Yeah, some can be. We hire really carefully for just wonderful human beings, who care about other people and about doing something extraordinary with likeminded people ❤️. glassdoor.co.uk/Overview/Worki…

@agile_geek @coldclimate It’s great that we’re all different! We’re not for everyone.

English

agile_geek 🇺🇦@agile_geek·13 Eki

@coldclimate @simondebanke Anything describing anyone in tech as a 'Rockstar' (unless they really are in a famous rock band) triggers the same reaction. Along with the 'I am going to run away screaming!' reaction I have to all recruiters looking for x10 developers!

@accessibleweb Not essential, but Beano and Birdie Song a distinct advantage

Richard Morton (he/him)@accessibleweb·12 Eki

@simondebanke Does huge intellectual bandwidth mean you like everything from the Birdie Song to the Ring Cycle, and the Beano to Rubens?

Henry Ford is famed to have once said that if he’d asked his customers what they wanted they would have said: “faster horses”. But... ipc.social/TO-10 #intellectualproperty #patentlawyer

@N_Polderman PS. Our work force is around 52% women. This is purely by chance and I wasn’t aware of the statistic until just now. We hire for merit, not gender split.

English

Simon de Banke@simondebanke·11 Eki

@N_Polderman Totally agree. Didn’t take offence. I just don’t see how the ad would put-off rockstars with a huge intellectual bandwidth who happen to be women? I don’t want to specifically attract women or men. Just those with enormous intellect irrespective of gender.

English

Simon de Banke@simondebanke·10 Eki

@N_Polderman Definitely want to put off those not right for the role. Their gender is unimportant. Decoder only complained about “intellectual”, being masculine. Seems insulting to many exceptionally smart feminine people I’ve worked with. Plus masculine / feminine are not “gender” specific

So precise and wonderfully succinctly analogous to “1% inspiration, 99% perspiration”. There are some problems where even that ratio would be a welcome relief!

Elon Musk@elonmusk

@ruskin147 It is unfortunately common for many in academia to overweight the value of ideas & underweight bringing them to fruition. For example, the idea of going to the moon is trivial, but going to the moon is hard.
