@karatalaamalaka hmm i would argue its way easier to bullshit software than other engineering disciplines in fact the industry norm is to ship broken stuff and fix it in prod

@ctjlewis yep. options is an cash cow + the cultural caché among younger people means it can grow in a million directions i give it 25% chance that i'm banking on robinhood in 5 years

is interesting but i dont understand doing a bio of highly dynamic people while they're still alive and have many productive years left even jobs only agreed to talk to isaacson after he was sure he was dying https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1423104512479334402

all tech journos would be out of business if it werent for their full time career comparing random things to Juicero. so really it was one of the most effective investments of $120m ever made

Juicero is the definitional hobgoblin of small minds "a pimple on the ass of history"

when im feeling blackpilled on tech i just need to go find someone talking about juicero. makes me revert to the most hypertechno-optimist bubblegum pop retrofuture outlook. its therapeutic

for a long time the reputation of tesla engineering was bad bc the software side kinda sucked (relative to other players) and that’s what tech people are trained to look at. but clearly the other engineering divisions were running on high gear

@bayes_baes yeah i mean working you to the bone is orthogonal to good engineering right? and side note I don’t think any of them are complaining after their stock appreciation lol

@eigenrobot sales is very specifically a job that they know nobody cares about. there is nothing fun about it, just doggedly chasing people down who mostly hate you. thats why all the energy is in the commissions / money-making. mini wolf of wall street in every sales dept

@SatyreContraire dont know if its bad engineering to have some quality issues when you perform an impossible ramp up if they had a slow ramp up and also quality issues then i might call that bad eng

@ollyrobot yeah I mean maybe but I can guarantee you pro-Brexit would not be a popular thing in those communities so that’s all him

@ollyrobot my read is that they’re all hardcore on freetrade shit so you’d be hard pressed to find one that likes brexit
@ollyrobot im not trying to put him in or out of any bucket tbh I don’t care i just think the fact that he read some blogs doesn’t make the blog responsible for everything he does especially when the blog might have endorsed the opposite

@ollyrobot @LudditeHacker @effendleton maybe. but you could probably categorize this guy in several ways, the least legible of which to the average Brit would be “rationalist”. even interpreting more favorably to you he would still be one politician among tens of thousands
· ↳ reply to @krishnanrohit
@krishnanrohit @LudditeHacker @effendleton @ollyrobot disagree, I think it’s actually far from the broader AI push — you will rarely find Facebook or google people talking about “agi xrisk”. They don’t even take the concept seriously. Rather they are concerned about introducing model bias

theory being away from the center of the empire is good for heterodox thought / having different intellectual fashions India is "crown jewel" so the colonial elites are making enough money to fund their side ventures https://x.com/TenreiroDaniel/status/1423390362366849027

wonder to what degree access to the arxiv firehose is making everyone hang out with brilliant people constantly when i was researching i acutely felt the urge to google the vast trove of literature to solve various components of my problem instead of thinking through it myself https://x.com/erf_of_why/status/1423399763416784896

@halvorz there are no "cultural islands" anymore, even at <creationist school> i'm not exactly sure how research worked in the past but i'm guessing it relied more heavily on physical journal subscriptions
