@RainResignation @ThePrimeagen The real question is why were they hired in the first place?

Wait so why were 500K people laid off between 2022-2023 in Silicon Valley?

If "day in the life videos" for office workers were honest they'd be screen recordings with a webcam feed in the corner
The primary domain is slack channels & jira boards, they should be full screen. The neon cafe sign on the fake plant wall is relegated to a small pixelated box
English
@TheMindScourge This feels like a significant paradigm shift because only a couple decades ago or so most would have picked yellow
You don't hear "in 50 years we'll have x" used for positive predictions much anymore
English
All things equal, you should do better 50 years ago than traveling 50 years into the future
You know nothing about that world, while 1975 is quite familiar. You know where to invest. Where to live. You buy Apple early and hold it. You buy Bitcoin
You gain a reputation as a Nostradamus by predicting all manner of events - election outcomes, the collapse of a superpower. You become a guru. Everyone wants to talk to you. You can’t fail. No one knows how you do it, and everyone wants it
Whereas the future is necessary opaque. You won’t have any money. Your skills likely won’t be relevant. People will even speak differently and you won’t understand. You’ll feel like an alien, whereas in 1975 you’ll feel like a god.
Or you take the $100 million. You can live on that. It won’t be so bad

@kalomaze What was he supposed to do?
Yell? Walk out? Go Heisenberg's "Tread lightly" on him?
English
he spends several minutes not so subtly alluding to Sam Altman being responsible for the coverup of a murder and he just stonefaces him in response. unreal

i have theory that The Algorithm exposes you to more of the worst parts of your outgroup than your outgroup sees and this does absolutely terrible things for communication and theory of mind
English
@lennysan Now realize the Internet/Google was already doing that to you for over a decade albeit lesser so
English
I don't know if I can think deeply about stuff anymore without involving Claude/ChatGPT
English
@iamgingertrash As soon as they got into sex chatbots I knew it wasn't adding up
English
If you want to comprehend
Why I think OpenAI
Eventually implodes
Try digging through
How their financials work
You’ll find that
They’re essentially
A highly levered bet
On the conversion to
A For Profit entity
If that doesn’t happen
The entire AI trade,
will blow up
simp 4 satoshi@iamgingertrash
@zerohedge Sam doesn’t have the funds But is attempting to produce Promises As something to point at To raise the required funds The problem is, the funds are contingent Upon completion of the For Profit entity Which means that if OpenAI doesn’t convert It unwinds And blows up
English
@goof_iest People forget there was lag to the camera anxiety. Early Facebook people would post drunken photos of each other and it was taken stride
The anxiety came from seeing previously forgettable social mishaps get immortalized and subsequently mobbed, with real world consequences
English
its crazy how much of a 4hl activity true crime podcasts are
the clock strikes 5 on friday and i just dont want to hear about it, im relaxing here

@MatthiasReedV once you know the lay of the land there is nothing to fear

@smorgandev What about like, Port-Au-Prince, or the Darien Gap, or the Donbas

@wavelettes Spoke to a guy who got stationed in Sierra Leone and when he recounted what he saw there it was one of the only times I've genuinely seen someone with a 1000 yard stare

@sonyasupposedly @shakoistsLog The game project zomboid also feels like a celebration of the suburbs

@shakoistsLog I love suburbia-core. the peak might be It Follows

This only looks ugly if you lack imagination. I see myself at age 16 making out with a girl in her basement while watching Futurama. Or walking with my buddies at 2am while smoking weed. You just gotta look a little closer.

@wanyeburkett @poorlyreasoned I don't disagree with that, it'd be fine to discuss with his neighbor
I just disagree with the framing of "have a right to know" which makes it sound like some sort of privacy violation, whereas it's on a sign in public & he's taken the minimally invasive option
English
@smorgandev @poorlyreasoned The issue is that he’s under no obligation to do that, it’s not in his material interest, and, contra the advice he got in that thread, it’s fine for him to chat with his neighbor about removing the flags
English
@wanyeburkett @poorlyreasoned This is such a strange thing to take issue with. The neighbors politics are on a sign outside his house. Some buyers don't like that. He decided it's better to leave it be so they can decide if they want to live next to a political lawn sign type of guy
Where is the issue?
English
@poorlyreasoned I mean, you don’t have any *duty* to act such that your neighbor’s politics are maximally legible, which is what’s being implied here. That’s just silly.

@growing_daniel Checked a fbm room once. Small SFH. Spiritual healer woman. 6 dogs. Barked entire time I was there. Place stank of piss. She's visibly stressed/unhappy
Struck me how the hell she lives in is entirely her own design & could be fixed in a 1hr trip. Made me wonder my own blindspots

Get rid of the animals. Just bring them to the pound. Not your problem. There, your life is suddenly peaceful.

@von_froth @Empty_America And the equator.
Huh, people are happier where it's warm and sunny, what a shocker

@Jonathan_Blow “That’s a great question” to the good questions
“That’s a good question” to the bad ones
English
At the top of the list of people I don’t trust are speakers who say “that’s a great question” to every question.

@valhalla_dev A bot to auto block engagement bait questions would be cool, there's def be a few false positives tho
English
block all of them. anyone who does this played out engagement bait slop.
