Ok, let's continue the analogy. The house cleaners weren't the problem. They are the best of the best at cleaning the pool. You have the pool but now want to get rid of the pool. You thought you liked the pool but you don't.

Yes, and being mad is not 0 or 1. Investors are mad to a certain degree for a mishap, but then investors are also happy about something else. To continue analogy, Zuck has made $10,000 for shareholders and had a mishap of $1000. How much sh

If you hire a house cleaner, and the house cleaner doesn't do a good job, would you fire yourself from the house? What repercussions will you personally suffer?

I still remember when Sam tweeted about how gpt-5 was so smart it scared him. Then, I only switched from gpt-4 to gpt-5 because the price was cheaper lolz

That's just being pedantic for the sake of it. Git is decades old. Of course, there are tons of contributions after the first 10 days. Everyone knows that. He started it and built the first working version.

People like to gatekeep coding as if it was some sort of mythical skills that only extremely smart people could do. Tons of people can code. Coding is not some sort of mythical skill. Millions of people can code. For some reason, this narra

> how Musk treated the engineers Probably the least impactful factor for most users. Unfortunately, independent of the politics, Musk destroyed X with many many odd decisions. Rebranding from Twitter to X is one of the top ones.

It's a telling that you picked an example where one user could access another user's private info in an unauthorized way. No famous app does that. When I say privacy, I mean supporting the company promises a stronger privacy mecha

I've built many apps throughout the years. One thing that I've learned is that privacy is a secondary concern. It's never a primary one. If your app's main differentiation is privacy, it won't sell. Users just don&#

> The most plausible explanation is that Satoshi is either dead or incapacitated. He could have lost the key and doesn't want to be a target or ridiculed. Happened to a lot of people.

Probably never. There are a couple reasons: 1. We pay for saas, so we don't have to manage it. If you vibe-code or use these AI things, then you are managing it yourself. 2. Most Saas is like $20-$100/month/person for most Sa

Founding his own company would be one alternative. Full control. No stigma on the non-profit part. Probably get the same paper money as he got now at OpenAI.

Yes, and it seems people hate him more than Google co-founders, for example. All the downsides without much upside...

by ergocoder 6mo ago
I wonder if Sam might abandon the ship soon. Other co-founders already did. The main reason is that he gets all the downsides without the upsides. I know $5B is a lot but, for a 700B company, it isn't. If OpenAI was a regular for-profi

It's just so amazing that 5 years ago it would be extremely to build a conversational bot like this. But right now people make it a hobby, and that thing can run on a laptop. This is just so wild.

I feel like this is legal i.e. we allow it. Stanford wouldn't blatantly violate laws like this.

Stanford also filed an H1B this year to hire an IT person. https://x.com/chrisbrunet/status/2037376353461567734 Apparently, no citizen wants to do this job? Why do we allow things like this?

That's the issue with allowing people to bet on public events. It's odd that we allow this to happen.

How did Starlink get so far ahead of everyone that everyone else is 20 years behind? We like to hate Elon, but damn this is impressive. Even China cannot catch up, and they can direct their resources and people to do anything.

I unfortunately don't want to work on an untyped codebase anymore. It's been 20 years, and Ruby/Rails still can't get their typing working.
