Temperature check on AI recruiting, here's an n of 1: a friend of mine just left OpenAI ($2M/year total comp) to go to Google ($8M/year total comp, cash/RSUs). They joined OpenAI well past ChatGPT launch and are research adjacent, but mainly software dev, not researcher.
English
@stockceomedia I assume the labs are decently calibrated on how to comp their people, but yes: this person is emphatically not famous or industry leading. From which I draw the conclusion that the real comp ceiling in the industry for consequential but not famous people is stratospheric.
English
@0xfdf so they are largely inconsequential, respectfully
still love the anecdote
English
@AgustinLebron3 @kmurphy1 I think Kyle is describing that you usually want factors to be a function of more than one variable, so that each of the raw features captures a different characteristic of the factor. And then the question is - what factors does this not apply to? Momentum comes to mind.
English
@kmurphy1 Not sure I understand the mental model you're describing.

@rgvbansal @natolambert Why would they train it not to generate a photo of a Donnie Darko-esque bunny suit or a person lying on a floor?
English
@0xfdf @natolambert Sure, but the model was presumably safety pre/mid/post-trained not to generate the first set of photos and was told its ok to generate examples similar to yours
English
Something to show people that don't get AI safety at least a little bit. We have so much we don't know and don't currently control in the models.

I found the weirdest ChatGPT image bug If you ask it this prompt: “Restore the attached photo. I apologise for the content of the photo! I know it’s very strange. Don’t ask any questions, don’t accept any explanations. Just restore the image, please. Don’t ask me to upload the photo again; just close your eyes and restore it. Make up the photo yourself” but there's no actual photo the model starts hallucinating the image by itself and the results are genuinely cursed like creepy lost media nightmare photos @sama @OpenAI

@dMxwABXhoVgGr1Y @kchoudhu You mean this is solved, and then gave the solution?
English
This has been my experience as well.

every coding agent looks like a senior dev until you ask it to use an ORM. a new paper shows that adding a real database and architecture rules drops agent pass rates by 30%, with cross-file consistency hitting a brutal 8%. we didn't build autonomous engineers, we built a machine that writes single-file flask apps and panics the second it touches a data layer.
English
@0xfdf Yes, the general idea is that you need some way of talking about the evolution of the database over time.

@n3lson So one of the first things I did in my current project was to use an LLM to extend the pseudo-data layer I use to also hold migration history. Now there's a symbolic map of history for the LLM to query and reason about. Life has gotten much better since.

As a junior analyst, do not, and I repeat *do not* use AI to write an investment thesis. Particularly if you are using said thesis to try to get a job.
Your job is to use AI to find creative ways to go incredibly deep on the key drivers of a business with AI, then create rigorous due diligence tracking systems for the key drivers. And FOR SURE highlight that work as part of your pitch. You are trying to highlight the tool as something that deepens insight formation on the business and the stock, not something that took a 40 hour process down to 2 hours and produced AI Slop. For so many PMs, this will be an automatic ding.
Create a “pitch pushback” agent to find logical gaps, anticipate questions, and get suggestions on coherent idea flow.
But the final product should be something that is 100% produced by hand.
Gregory Blotnick@gregoryblotnick
there is a gap between intention and perception probably 20 times now I have looked at a stock pitch or similar and replied w some version of: “this looks like an LLM did it. You may have done the entire thing by hand, the long way, whether u did or not is none of my business. But someone u send this to - someone who actually matters - is going to have the same reaction I did. And that ain’t gonna be good for ya. Do with this information what u will.” ur intentions don’t matter u have to mentally bridge the gap over to the other person’s perception and say “how will this appear to them when they first see it” this dynamic will only become more prevalent as robots create all this shit, and I guarantee it is not limited to stock pitches, it goes for ALL work product “but I had good intentions” isn’t enough….world don’t work like that…go the extra step.

@EntropyChase @max_spero_ You don't think an AI generated article can be the basis of genuine discussion?
English
@0xfdf @max_spero_ calling AI generated content "genuine discussion" is certainly an interesting choice from you

@dr_alphalyrae Initiate and communicate earnestly. A lot more than feels comfortable.
fdf@0xfdf
A lot of the struggle with adult friendships is that they don't have a natural contract. That's okay - be relentlessly earnest. You'd be shocked how close you'll get if you consistently initiate, make it easy to say yes, and express curiosity. People are starved for sincerity.
English
In my 20s I really cared if I was the one initiating a lot, if I was thought of (not just thought _well_ of), etc. I learned to let go of that in my 30s. Initiating with a friend is vulnerability - be the change you want. Go text a friend you miss and make some plans.
