I was listening to Andrej Karpathy's interview on the Lex Friedman podcast. Karpathy said that Elon's superpower is "human engineering" and limiting "entropy" in large organizations.
If you trust Karpathy as a source, it seems like working for Elon would be the opposite of working for a bureaucracy.
- kaba0 4y agoSurely seems like such a smart guy, randomly turning off prod microservices and driving Twitter to the ground in record speed. Honestly, I can’t even imagine running that company worse than what he does right now.
- spaceman_2020 4y agoI don’t understand how he has driven Twitter into the ground? It only feels even more active than before
- kaba0 4y agoPlenty advertiser pulled out due to ultra right wingers, then due to this whole twitter badge controversy (which did at least result in many genuinely funny posts, r/realtwitteraccounts ). Also, one can only imagine the lost business knowledge of all the fired people that will soon creep up on the remaining team.
- spaceman_2020 4y agoAdvertisers will come back if Twitter still has users and engagement. Imo, if you're running a social media business, a key metric to optimize for is traffic and engagement. Elon seems to be doing that well enough at least.
- mudrockbestgirl 4y agoYou realize nobody like that would ever publicly say anything bad about Elon, right? It's all driven by incentives. Just like would publicly say anything bad about FTX's SBF because they need to stay on his good side. Statements like that from people who have a horse in the race are totally meaningless.
