Ah yeah that explains my experience a bit better. I was there in the COVID wfh time, 2020 or so, then rejoined 2024 when I experienced things not too unlike what you described. (except I joined as a principal, ~8-10 years of experience, and

Ah, I see. I didn't specifically think Capital one was toxic, though, more recently after sharing about my experience more I've been realizing it may have been. I can see how that technique works great at a non-toxic company. Than

Have you worked in corporate recently or at a particularly toxic one? Asking because when I was at capital one, certain comments or questions about topics like this, would actually get you noticed negatively by your manager and being disrup

Isn't trust fundamentally about honesty, reputation and good will? How can you restore trust by ignoring the past deception, bad will and abuse - Is Dario saying you simply ignore that, and deliver on an outcome later? If I break my ag

Nice. I've been making a version of this that I submitted to ycombinator, testing the thesis "If we schedule our life around the sun including afternoon naps" we perform better. Check it out and give me feedback. It has a lon

The word I use a lot is "training". You are training an eager intern. Sometimes the AI actually gives you value, many times it does not though. And you are training an intern that simultaneously works for another company and is gu

All these sites have hype about AI features like AI Chat. however I use the chat, and it wastes about 3-10 seconds just to load, then I ask for the price, and it fails to understand even the page we were on (edit: "I don't underst

I get the help I need. You have engaged in bad faith, made false accusations, and attempted to discredit my character rather than address the substance. Ad homoninems, straw mans and in general a violation of the hacker news rule to engage

This doesn’t just apply to ads. It’s been a single piece of a larger systematic attack on your thinking. Have people become more or less free over time as technology and progress came to help improve our lives and make things easier or more

Part of the problem is self confidence bias. Everyone things they're the good engineer, while dunning Krueger would say maybe you are the bad engineer. Prove who's good and bad. And you can't really, because there's al

Isn't that the problem with this whole thing? The ethics of the people has been left unquestioned. While we were given this straw man - "Hey look over here at the ethics we are working on fixing about the AIs" as if the AIs m

You keep inflating "your" car with someone else's car. Who's car is it? You seem to portray high confidence in your opinions and misrepresent your statements while fundamentally misunderstanding ownership. The moment the

Good ideas. These could work. Also, at least today, the solution to give ownership of any vehicle-properties to an LLC, and ensure it by vin may still work against flock as we haven't see any evidence they data-share between the insura

So is murder and suicide by the CIA. That's very sad too. I hope you never have to experience knowing a family member, friend or a class of people that have been attacked by a group like that - lots of innocents get hurt in crossfire o

Yes. I saw that post, it was still up. I can see that being true. Did you see my posts? I was targeted by the CIA or an intel agency, as a pakistani-american US citizen who has committed no crimes and only spoke up against calling my own go

That's insulting. And offensive. I think you should be the one asking the psychiatrist or psychologist to diagnose you whatever I deem fit - but, since I'm the one who shared something weird and you hide behind insulting others I

The open AI engineer who was ready to testify in a copyright case against them, also died in weird circumstances. His mom is out on an anti-Altman campaign. Man this stuff sucks to be so out in the public and out of darkness. I mean we knew

I want to read your original claim but it was censored. I am aware of the IC community being active on these forums and using algorithm/actors to downvote and hide information. Would you share it again here or send it via DM? Sorry you

I talked about the CIA very negatively after having a top secret clearance (never actually used it but it gives useful context). They then showed up in my commune and after a while of unusual behavior and psyops and pretending to be hippies

Isn't that always how corruption/devolution has worked? Why not use the same tools we always had: accountability via transparency and then if needed shaming. Don't want strangers to abuse your resources and community and hide

Does this beat self-stewarding my data, and placing relevant protections around my data instead. Then the UI's, the "Apps", are just ephemeral instances over my live data whose permission I am consistently setting or reviewin
