If you're in it for the pay and work-life balance then nothing generally speaking. Working for a very early stage startup should be difficult. You'd be silly to expect job security and you should assume hard and long hours. The re

Actually, I think it's a little different. During the pandemic personal savings rates exploded and credit was extremely cheap. Companies realised that customers had plenty of cash in their pockets so could afford to raise prices withou

Imo no. Early stage startups should to be ruthless and should demand employees that are obsessive perfectionists in addition to being excellent executers. They also need to be capable of handling high levels of workplace stress and adapting

I think another aspect of this is that people don't just socialise with people in their immediate neighbourhood anymore too. My friends live all over the city, so why would we go to a local pub to hang out? It's just easier for us

I think you're missing my point. LeCun is saying, "ignore the deluge of complete nonsense" while also saying something to the effect of, "they've probably just created an AI model which can plan". I agree tha

I'm confused. I thought people were worried about the danger of some AI breakthrough? If researchers at OpenAI have developed an LLM more advanced than GPT4 which can also plan is that not potentially a worrying breakthrough?
