here's Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan on X: "Whoever made the original graphic (of these kids that Musk told to hack into the machines) doesn’t understand the scale and speed of smart high IQ people who can program, and what they can do in a moment when intelligence now on infinite tap using LLMs" https://x.com/garrytan/status/1886283334466302201 https://x.com/garrytan/status/1886283334466302201 as though "dont worry everyone, these kids are really good coders!" has anything to do with it the tech oligarchs know nothing about wisdom, integrity, rule of law, it's all a big joke beneath their superior brains

That is why they only take from other people (music, PDFs, code, literature, papers) without ever creating anything themselves. Musk is an exception in that he at least popularized and scaled production of the original Tesla inventors from whom he bought the company. SpaceX seems to be run by Gwynne Shotwell.

Don’t need rule of law when you have LLMs! /s

These tech goofs trying to convince “the plebs” that they’re wizards that can cast magic. It’d be more funny if people didn’t actually believe them.

It’s hilarious, I’ve never interacted with Garry Tan at all, my profile is as apolitical as you can get, and yet I’m blocked from him on X and on BlueSky. I don’t know how any of these people can take themselves this seriously. If Claude et al. will be guiding national budget policy we’re in for interesting times…

  yes he actually blocked me the other day on Bluesky as well, however I seem to be unblocked, so I edited my message to not mention that part.

Hah. I'm a pretty good coder and have been accelerated with AI, but it's definitely not ready to make me capable of redesigning the US federal government.

There is a real irony to how clueless he is about the complexity and vast sets of requirements these systems have. High IQs and programming are cool and all, but these systems are bigger than these kids.
