It’s fine for the resolution to be going elsewhere. But it’s also very reasonable to say “hey, you guys are dickbags” as you go. SO encourages dickbag behavior.

That’s great but sales data is much more clear than your anecdote

The M1s were briefly popular but they’re now back to exactly where they were before.

Apple Vision Pro was a flop, iPhone sales have been weak for years, the Apple car got canceled after ten billion dollars, Apple TV has largely flopped considering the insane spending, and they are blatantly at risk from non compliance the d

Apple, Amazon, and Google are examples of companies that struck an absolute gold mine to the point at which it doesn’t really matter how badly they fuck up, they’ll be fine. Google and Apple have been flopping for years. They’re poorly run.

If I could instantiate 20 clones of the smartest person I know to work 24/7 without distractions or fatigue that could write code at the speed of compute, it would utterly demolish any team of humans of any size. Like… I’ve had a TODO

Yes but it put people out of work by making the people more efficient. As did computers. AGI does not make people more efficient. Even if wealth accrued to the capital holders, it still drive a large demand for higher value human labor. AG

Highly doubt it. It’s not activist shareholders. It’s incompetent leadership. Same at pretty much every company.

Amusing that it starts with this claim > Since 1937, the only "deathless" Isle of Man TT's happened in 1982 and 2024. And then has a death for 2024 in the list

Your posts here don’t seem to qualify the statistics for the fact that American football is probably 10,000x more popular than MotoGP. A quick google nets me this link https://www.motorsport.com/motogp/news/atrocio

If an AGI isn’t way smarter than the smartest person I’ve ever met, it’s definitely not a super intelligence. The very nature of a super intelligence is one that far exceeds human intelligence, including the the ability to rapidly design sm

All of those revolutions have largely exacerbated wealth inequality and were driven by _gradual_ transitions with build out of capital. The shift away from subsistence farming was a huge deal. But AGI would be way harder. It’s immediately d

I don’t understand how folks think the economy will survive the advent of AGI. Imagine if you could spin up white collar workers at whim for a fraction of the cost… how do we think the economy is going to work if that happens?

A superintelligence, at a bare minimum, equates to an exponential increase in software development capacity for everyone to the point at which we don’t need devs and we very quickly don’t need anything that devs can automate. Even that is s

Accomplishing goals is fun. Doesn’t really matter what you do to achieve them. “Fun” almost doesn’t exist as an isolated concept.

Don’t think so

I do think it would differ significantly if you were trying to garner interest. Flexibility would help vs. a more structured presentation. I can’t say I like the linked deck too much. Titles with no thesis. Visuals that don’t demonstrate an

I can’t say I agree with that. Frankly even most of the haters will dryly concede that the only thing McKinsey is good at is making powerpoints. In my experience the slide decks are pretty solid, with occasional exceptions. For whatever rea

I’m only skimming the article tbh but all of the slides I’m seeing look terrible and useless. I don’t see much text about reducing arguments to one sentence theses. A one sentence thesis is good communication. That’s the point of a thesis s

Perhaps this belief contributed to your lack of a credibly titled career.

I’m a McKinsey consultant and this reads as kind of crazy. Nobody is ever doing anything with 50 distinct slides. My general advice is a title that is a sentence that explains your point, then a visual that proves it and a sidebar of suppor

Not that weird. The English language emerged from the needs of people from various linguistic backgrounds to describe things. It was not cleanly designed with top down clarity.

It’s probably not possible if you also throw in internal actors seizing power. Communism suggests an absence of concentration of power. If an internal actor wants more power and starts making moves, you’d have to have consensus and collecti

Does selecting standout quotes to the forefront not foster curious conversation more than headline reactions?

I don’t care! I do not want them helping themselves to representations of my data. I don’t care if it’s encrypted or run through a one way hash. I don’t care if they only interact with it via homomorphic methods. They can, again, fuck the h
