I don't work there, my ethics forbid it. Mostly because of their business attitude and history. Turned down an offer during the Travis years.
What does Uber have to do with hallucinating sycophant machines?
- salawat 7mo agoSorry. Was talking a few steps ahead of everyone else not realizing I hadn't filled in the gap. Was referring to executives fascination with AI to replace human beings. It really doesn't matter the name on the building. There's a type of person elevated to those management positions, and it's specifically for their disconnection from the rest of humanity conferring them the capability to take risks other people bear the cost of. We're going to see a huge uptick in horrible things coming out of non-risk-averse people, because AI tooling won't say "no". As long as they can get away with it without being hindered, the only remaining feedback loop to hold them back is personal blowback. They'll optimize themselves ahead to the point they won't be able to stop the system in the time it takes to realize something is going wrong, and the only thing to warn them that anything is going to happen will be "You're right! Let me get right on that!"
