I expect this theme to continue and expand across many "jobs". There are a lot of people who are just plugging numbers into spreadsheets all day and you would think "yes but when something doesn't fit they have to be sma

Anyone who has ever worked in an office knows that this is not a black and white issue. There are times where in person ad-hoc 5 minute conversations solve major issues, while at WFH that conversation would have never happened and it leads

But it is a business. We are not talking about a YouTube channel of lecturers, we are talking about an organization with 2.7 billion dollars of annual revenue.

In the early 2000s people were also annoyed about all the internet hype. "DotCom this and DotCom that" and it was stupid that a company could announce they were adding a DotCom to their name and the stock would go up a bunch. So y

Good for him. He seems to be a very thoughtful person that would let the world know if things got out of control.

At one point people said that computers could never beat a human at chess, then it was GO, now it is reasoning, then it will be intelligence.

If people are always "protected" how do you deal with low performing companies? If Zoom becomes unusable because it is crashing all the time and everyone switches to another service where do you think the money is going to come fr

This is no different than professional calligraphers losing their jobs because of the printing press and then later due to customizable fonts on printers. I have a ton of respect for calligraphers and believe they are artists, but at the sa

I don't want accrued benefits. That means that someone owes me 1000s of dollars and I cannot have that debt honored unless I quit my job? I generally try to work at places that value my contributions but do not try to micromanage me. I

Unlimited is such an absurd word. It should be "Flexible". It should be we will NOT fire you if you take 23.5 days instead of the ideal number of 22. Also, if you take 18 that is not a problem either.

This sounds right. Management may believe that they are severely underpaying their top performer and as soon as he starts interviewing he will see a huge offer that they cannot compete with. The new hire friend on the other hand is expected

AGI was here all along, humans were just too self important to realize it. Any network with feedback loops and memory is intelligent, there is nothing special about human intelligence compared to a mouse or a bacteria other than the size o

Society in general has norms around drugs, sex, finance, law. He believes that all norms are not based on reality but arbitrary and can be easily ignored.

It is valuable for SPAM filters, and other fraudulent activity. If you get an e-mail from someone you know and it says "I need itunes gift cards right away!" most people know that is a scam. But if you get an e-mail that appears t

I have been the "victim" in a few cases like this. Usually it ends up with lawyers getting paid 100% and the victim getting $15 or 6 free months of some service. I suspect the same will happen here, the problem here that the prose

Unfortunately this is the right answer. Over the past few years many engineering organizations no longer value anything beyond surface level understanding of the technology used in their stacks. You would think that is would still be advant

Honestly, I was very scared too, when I saw it coming over a year ago. I see where it goes next, and there are enormous consequence for society and humanity in general, far beyond art generation being much easier than with photoshop. My adv

It is an emotional reaction. Logically these people know that Photoshop is very powerful without AI and they know that plenty of Artists need Photoshop to do their work, but they are not calling for a ban of Photoshop created art. They are

The creators of photoshop didn't build it intending that the output be used to create labels for counterfeit products. But that is what some people use it for. The creators of stable diffusion didn't create it with the intent help

I think your problem is that you are taking things at face value and believing the things people say, instead of seeing the world for what it is. For example, VCs and Angel Investors will say they are looking for good business plans and goo

Given how humans treat pigs,cows, and many millions of poor or marginalized humans today I would agree. Actually it seems more likely that we would disregard a digital consciousnesses feeling even more than a physical one.

Sales people are the exception to this. If a salesperson has a 10M deal that he is about to close within the next 6 months, it is a really bad idea to fire him, since he will probably tell the customer that your company isn't that grea

There are a lot of people high up in large organizations that do not care if the company loses individuals with high output and high skills. All they care about is making themselves look good and get promoted. So yes, if they can get a list

The big difference is that the Mechanic has to manually do that for every single customer, where a software 10xer identifies a crazy hard bug once and fixes it for all 10000 customers at once. And that is where the finances come in. Why pay
