sometimes fraud leads to positive outcomes.
imagine a world where SBF didn’t defraud the crypto world.
in that world anthropic may have not existed.
i wish i could codify voice.
probably someone has.
i’m not beyond being fooled, but when there’s voice there’s a human.
this is especially true with certain types of awkward phrasings that LLMs love to correct but humans don’t.
one day my internal filter will fail, but not today.
you are so wrong. this is not ai.
if something’s strategically important for safety it’s wise to have competency in it.
people use outlook when gmail exists.
employees will always suffer.
some employers may like this wishy washy answers.
personally i find this offensive and would disqualify the candidate.
ain’t no one learning all of that
no business person will ever want to consider the right tradeoffs without being forced to
the ai making assumptions can’t get it right
let them launch and fail
it’s the only way they learn
yea find this so unproductive
as we grow we change
that is life
lots of things i cared deeply about 10 years ago that i don’t even remember now
i find self loathing a previous version of yourself to be a by product of religious thinking
yes the original sin is that you were born but for now you can enjoy your life do so
no it is not
profits 3.5x yet stock increased 12x
counterfactuals are hard
adding LLMs to the incompetent doesn’t transform them
if anything it makes the world more dangerous
a reckoning is coming
the top decile will be janitors for the rest
End clients can’t tell the difference between these bozos and me. I don’t know what to do with that information but it feels bad.
this is only getting worse with ai.
all the artifacts of good work are there but none of the depth.
pretty degrading to call what they do useless
we all need to do something
might be too early to standardize
standards are good but they slow development and experimentation
if you have to ask the answer is no.
if you are young there’s still hope that you can change your mindset and approach though.
if software can save time and make money than human capital then there will be demand.
life is phase oriented
when i’m working i find retired people boring
when im taking 6+ month break i find the nervous energy of employed people annoying
ultimately, comfort comes from being around like minded people
then again seeking comfort rings hollow to me, even though it’s quite enjoyable in the moment.
most things don’t endure
greater chance something will if we take more swings
solving users problems vs solving technical problems is likely where your confusion lies
time value of money
we don’t complain that the per unit cost at target is higher than at costco
that’s why acquiring wealth and power is so important
nice to throw off the shackles of the lifetimes of masks we wear and now the normies must adapt to us, instead of the other way around
fellow autists there is hope for us!
i suspect it’s only the minority of people who are normal
everyone needs to learn impulse control
we draw a semi? fully arbitrary line on what too many or too strong
being normal is just the balance of your talent to mask vs the strength of the oddness
you don’t, that’s true
i prefer to say thank you when someone is doing something good
kinda silly given the ability of most people to infer anything substantial through finances and marketing copy
really company reviews is all that matters and even that has limited value since your life is determined by your manger
best you can do is sus out how your interviewers are fairing
are they happy? are they stressed, everything else has so much noise to be worse than worthless
often times the answer is instantaneous but the articulation takes ages to show people how to get from a to z
insight often lives in the ability to skip a b c d, then post processing is to allow mortals to understand
sometimes my verbal skills fail me and the steps are missing
this is why i disagree that if you can’t write it, you don’t know it
in another words, i may know the note to sing but not have the voice to sing it
luckily for sass builders most people aren’t like you
if i write specific questions and people reply in totality i find that offensive and manipulative
(adding another point of view)
ultimately no way not to offend people who are dying to be offended
build something
