I wouldn't care if they know what I do, as long as they do something actually productive. You may disagree, but the "NPC" comment comes from the widespread belief that it's easy for low-performers to stick around at big

It was only when I had kids that I understood what this means. My children are not "my purpose." I mean, that would be a lovely sentiment, but it's not the actual truth. But having kids (and being a hopefully-good father), m

Let me present a more charitable phrasing of what OP wrote: He is going through an unanticipated personal crisis, and decided he needed to be alone at this point in his life. Should he have kept the relationship going because he has money n

Given the context (him not wanting to stay with the acquiring company), I'm pretty sure he was referring to the large number of people at big companies who don't seem to do anything, but get in the way. I think most people who wor

You are misinterpreting. He’s talking about how at big companies, you always have people who don’t seem to bring any actual value. They're in every meeting, but don't say anything, don't set any direction, don't produ

American culture is very prudish, courtesy of its Puritanical roots which even today cause us to label a woman sucking off an enormous penis (like in "Deep ASCII", referenced in article) as so-called "pornography".

It's absolutely bonkers to think that the leadership of OpenAI thought to themselves: "This employee who spilled the beans on our use of copyrighted material, we better off him before he says more." That's just nuts. I
