chatGPT, like Google search has essentially democratized knowledge and wisdom to every human on planet earth. OTOH, it's the governments that have banned it. Do you think the citizen's of Italy are better off because of chatGPT? C

Yeah, not to mention that good guys far number bad guys and we can develop a good AGI to pre-detect bad ones and destroy. Even with AGIs, there is still power in numbers. We still understand how all the mechanical things work. The first att

Don't worry about the US. It is still the greatest country and will remain so for at least 50 years. It's reddit/HN who have never traveled or lived outside US that has jaded your view of US. You know which country released c

Classic fearmongering article targeted to HN crowd. i) In this world, there are very few people whose private conversation is worth anything to anybody (celebrities, journalists -- so around 10,000 people) ii) A tiny tiny %age of informatio

I'm probably one of the five people on this earth who gets Elon (not in a way his fanbois do). Let me point out the negatives of Elon i) He is a bull-shitter. He has no clue about a lot of things, yet he has plenty of hubris. ii) He is

I admire both Elon and Bill. They are both geniuses in their own respects. Elon is more anti-social, but probably because Bill had a much comfortable childhood.

Google's cloud revenue is almost same as Oracle. If Google Cloud was it's own company, it'd be a fortune 100 firm. But you keep doing you, living with outdated information and grandma tales. I bet you'd still be telling

I always encourage people who want to join FANG companies. OP is the typical 'sour grapes' dissing on FANG. Why would I want them to work for FANG, if they don't appreciate it? You have to be hungry for it to want it. They ar

The only thing that matters in a layoff is "severance package" Everything else is useless. If your co-workers liked you and wanted to say goodbye, they will call and throw a party. If I'm fired, there is no reason for me to l

Once again recruiters emails almost everyone with a pulse. I met a guy on a train, who was working as a server, but just had some HTML on his resume. Like OP, most of these people wear that as some badge and can get into FANG anytime. Reali

This is a perfect example of how mainstream doesn't get eccentrics like Balaji, Trump, Elon.... Through this bet, Balaji instantly increased FOMO among a lot of people waiting in sidelines. This bet has gone viral (and contributing to

Getting recruiter email is the same as getting spam, everyone gets it. FANG still has a very low (<1%) success rate. So, don't assume that just because you got a recruiter email you'd be qualified to make it
