Then companies will move out of California. Employment law here has become very adversarial to employers.

The problem is that hard opiates aren’t a drug in the sense that alcohol or mdma are drugs. It’s straight up poison. It should definitely be controlled and possession should be prosecuted.

It’s not those in power wanting to oppress the masses. Humans with too much free time cause trouble. We don’t want that.

Exactly, this topic requires purposeful journalism. Otherwise it’s just doomerism.

This is just the reality of the impending job displacement. Trying to prevent technology from advancing is not possible, and even if it was, it would limit everyone’s standard of living, which is undesirable. We have two big problems to sol

Why are there so many socialist tendencies on hacker news. Engineers are among the most privileged professionals on Earth. It’s great companies look to reduce costs. Lower cost of goods and services help everyone. Countries that meddle with

The post argues that it’s management’s responsibility to make sure employees are adding value. This idea that managers shouldn’t care how many hours someone works as long as they get their shit done, goes counter to the idea that managers s

You have the CEO of a public company come out to play and address a public post, which is pretty cool! Your attacking style of questioning just makes people like Jeff less likely to engage with the community. You could frame the same questi

There’s nothing new here. Socialism vs Capitalism. The revolutionaries will lose, and they should. If they want to fight Reddit, they should start their own enterprise and compete in the market. I’m in full support of owners getting rid of

Google has the right to do this. Employees have the right to quit. It’s okay to want your team to be an actual team and not just a group of people getting paid by the same employer. Team building works better in person. Just because some as

I suggest this is the wrong way to think about this. Alexa tried for a very long time to agree on a “Alexa Ontology” and it just doesn’t work for large enough surface areas. Testing that new versions of LLMs work is better than trying to ma

You have to play hardball. If someone else is being political and you try to avoid politics, you’ll get crushed. The fact that your co-founders are not getting involved means they don’t think your CUXO’s claims are outrageous— that’s a prob

I assume you are all board members also. It’s the job of the board to make sure silly stuff like this doesn’t get out of hand. Force the leadership team to make a decision. By the way the sort of rules that dictate everyone will be equal or

I think the interpretation is that there is a certain statistical distribution of statements that appear “more broadly true” than they are. I think there is some meat to this, even with code that works as intended. The degree of creativity

Even though we live in a world where it seems everyone shares opinions freely, that’s mostly just the internet. IRL most people won’t look at you in the eyes and tell you what you think. A healthy workplace is the opposite, where your manag

I agree. I understand there’s a diverse set of people in the world, with various degrees of interest and passion in their work. But I only much prefer to work with people who are intensely attracted to their work. It’s contagious. Passion b

If you tell a human to speak differently from how they usually do, they will still regress. How is this uniquely AI?

There’ll be a bunch of people here saying that capitalism is vicious and people should earn more. But actually what will happen is that they will get automated and then have no job. When automation is the alternative, collective bargaining

The best way for everyone to live a decent life is for our technology to keep reducing costs of everything. Unfortunately, a big driver of costs is employees. But if we replace all people, then medicine and education become very cheap. Can’

Lifestyle costs will always escape minimum wage because it’s such a huge lever that the entire economy gets propped up on higher min wages. The only way around it is for people to after jobs that earn a premium to minimum wage. I don’t thin
