I'm a CRO/CGO – a suit. My biggest struggle with HN wants-to-be-hired threads is that I desperately want to work with small and midsize startups who are serious about growth – but most of the JDs are for technical jobs. Besides th

Evidently you missed the part about grace and empathy? "But they started it" "They do it too" "They are meaner" 'They they they' is the problem.

No it absolutely does not change the facts - but I’d be willing to bet people are more likely to change their minds (about policy, politics, their way of life) if folks didn’t look down their noses at them. Of course everyone knows this, bu

“You made your bed, now lay in it” is neither constructive nor effective in changing minds.

When everyone sh*ts on your culture 24/7/365 for decades and decades, it gets pretty hard to separate the condescension from the genuinely good advice.

Sure seems to me like any time the technocrat/commentariat/coastal crowd point out the various problems with the American South, it's always with this patronizing schadenfreude vibe. "Haha guys look at the poor dumb hick

I think you're probably right in that there's no one answer, but when we expand our thinking to encompass the impacts the Information Age has had on a number of other aspects of society – politics, learning, business, language, th

Embracing constraint has been, in my experience, a far more effective driver of innovation than any other tactic. I think of Muxtape far more fondly than I do of Spotify or iTunes.

Agreed! But there is no evidence of the eventuality described by these AI doomers. The same hyperbole was employed by Ehrlich in the late 60s when we were talking about the population bomb, or Nevil Shute in 1945 on the nuclear apocalypse -

The chain of 'logic' that leads to the outcome you propose is bonkers, though. Here's Elizer's logic from his recent polemic in Time https://time.com/6266923/ai-eliezer-yudkowsky-open-letter-no... &

By that rather sloppy logic, we should be urgently working on capping the Yellowstone supervolcano and constructing impenetrable meteorite defense shields. I acknowledge that it's a possibility; that's not the argument at hand.

That it is completely uncharted territory is exactly my point – which is why when people string together a series of predictions to build a narrative that happens to appeal to our most base instincts, e.g. fear, we should be highly skeptica

Sure, 05-trivet.turner@icloud.com And yeah that's a no-go inside this system thanks in large part to the WGA. A lot of my work is defending, justifying, and otherwise 'handling' feedback from people who think they know better
