Every now and then I enjoy the opportunity to build things without planning around them. No ceremony, no tickets - just pure code and building things people are interested in or are looking to solve problems.

I'm in the same boat. 15 years of work and I'm very burnt out now. Any development process stresses me out these days.

I'm in the same boat, this is a requirement to save for retirement and there's very little else that can compete - despite the fact that inflation is outpacing nearly all the efforts I've made thus far to have a reasonable re

I'm very close to being completely done with tech. This whole career has been stressful and the ROI is debatable

Imagine actually thinking that you can search for something and you are always going to get a correct answer on the internet. At least with LLMs you can fine tune or at least pick different models you want to use and communicate at will wit

Diffusion models still have plenty of room to grow (vision/video is orders of magnitude more expensive and larger) and we're only beginning to experiment with agent (AI -> AI Agent) workflow communication and automation.

This ^, the models are getting larger and we don't appear to have scratched the surface on Video / Vision models yet. Energy consumption is accelerating along side that at 28% YOY https://www.weforum.org/agenda&#x2

On a fundamentals basis, the demand is there for the compute. NVDA will likely get somewhat overbought in this cycle, but at some point here it should follow the same trajectories of the big 7. We don't appear to be anywhere close to a

I wasn’t aware of significant cuts to those teams. How much did we lose there? Could that have been mistaken as limited to Origin devs?

People are wholly naive if they think the main reason mainstream America watches the news in the US is for the news. Anchors and casters are like local celebrities. Going to be a * long* time before AI has that kind of following

If we saw a wholesale exit of our MLI platform teams I would be concerned. But many here are waiting to see where our CTO is going to lead. Eng was spread very thin attempting to commercialize. CTO's approach appears to be much more me

Our CTO is leading very well through one of the roughest times in our company's history. Despite what many are saying about Cruise right now - it's not down for the count.

Silicon Valley is plagued by over promising far too early and fooling everyone we are years ahead of where we actually are. Estimates are always way off, and claims and even fake demos are almost always oversold to get investors.

Saying this as someone who lost out on this program mid stream (meaning I signed a tender offer but the contract was canceled days before I was due to receive funds) - this is something that is out of Cruise’s hands from the looks of it. GM
