Analysis from a time before the birth control pill is pointless. It's an alien society.

This idea came from musk wanting to fold his X and xAI investments in with his (likely successful) spaceX IPO.

Closest I guess is hiring of juniors is down, but it's possibly just due to a post COVID pullback being credited to AI. I definitely think a lot of junior tasks are being replaced with AI, and companies are deciding it's not worth

He's not in the book or miniseries but the film adaptation gave him some arc iirc about doing something heroic on John Malkovich's planet to get the girl (Trillian). That all seems highly intentional based on the OP.

Yes the hope is that the institutions under attack can rebuild or be replaced by ones with better alignment with social good. There's a lot of disagreement about what that means and that's part of the chaos, but yes.

I definitely thought there were adults, who are basically gods when you are a child, that were in charge of or steering these institutions and they had principles and values beyond careerism and greed. Go talk to any academic about how they

Hacker news is good for one particular use case: reasonably informed discussion of technology industry news. I don't view it as a community and every time a topic goes outside that space (e.g. society, culture, economics etc) I'm

I don’t really get why it’s a bad deal for GS or how “Apple outplayed them” based on that article. Just seems like a frayed partnership cause they didn’t hit their numbers.

The "non-denial denial" seems like a denial to me if you take him at his word that he is unable (presumably due to legal reasons) to comment about a specific project.

There's a sweet spot they want to hit, where their internal scam ad reduction efforts do enough to make sure people don't leave in droves, and they are totally fine with the scam ads that make it through bringing in revenue. The l

I actually think it's a narrative that should inspire public resistance, at least genuine public resistance, not sitting around and complaining online.

A lot of people believe in comforting justice narratives. The truth is there is no justice, there is only power, who has it, and how they wield it. That is what collectively drives civilization.

They should at least understand why they are getting paid and basic business logic instead of thinking they are above it because they are 10x or whatever. You are a cost center unless you are making that line go up.

It's an overcorrection for years of western arrogance being expressed in the past decade+. I think most people have woken up by now to the reality of Chinese manufacturing dominance and what that implies, at least those in power and j
