Death by KPIs. Management makes it too risky to do anything but benchmaxx. It will be the death of American AI companies too. Eventually, people will notice models aren’t actually getting better and the money will stop flowing. However, thi

So big tech wants to court Trump with millions in donations and now that the big bully they supported is bullying them.. we’re supposed to feel some kind of sympathy? Am I missing something here? Why did Anthropic get involved with the mili

> What's the last 10,000+ employee org you founded and scaled? A lot of smart and talented people could do this if given the opportunity. Jack was at the right place at the right time and had enough talent. Same with Elon and others

Enough is enough. Executives need to do jail time, no bullshit slap on the wrist nonsense.

So what you’re saying is technology can be abused by bad actors and the solution is.. stop developing technology? Good luck with that.

I appreciate the author’s work and he seems like a good guy. In spite of that, it’s incredibly obvious OpenClaw was pushed by bots across pretty much every social media platform and that’s weird and unsettling.

With technological improvements, we could work far less than we do and enjoy a nice quality of life. Those excess gains were slurped up by the ruling class instead. And the 2nd question looks like American propaganda where if you don’t spen

A feel good article where you can choose to self insert as the wolf or the wise manager who knew to be “hands off”. To someone actually running a company this looks like absolute corporate nonsense. Don’t categorize people like this, it’s d

You have to give credit to Sam, he’s charismatic enough to the right people to climb man made corporate structures. He was also smart enough to be at the right place at the right time to enrich himself (Silicon Valley). He seems to be prett

There is zero chance this is worth billions of dollars, let alone the trillion$ OpenAI desparately needs. Why are they wasting time with this kind of stuff? Each of their employees needs to generate insane amounts of money to justify their

How is this not considered destruction of property? How about big tech plays by the same rules as everyone else?

The person replying was trying to turn the conversation into some sort of IQ pissing contest. Not sure why, that seems like their own problem. I was reminding them that there is always someone smarter.

Seems like they’re trying to hire nerds who know a lot about hardware or compiler optimizations. That will only get you so far. I guess hiring for creativity is a lot harder. And before some smart aleck says you can be creative on these typ

I think the standard terminology for these are harnesses. No reason to invent some new term.

You can absolutely criticize your hero’s and know they’re flawed humans like everyone else. I thought the author was pretty generous to be honest.

The greatest trick management ever pulled was creating arbitrary ranks for software devs to chase while they make the real money.

TensorFlow lost because it’s an inferior API and dev UX. Hate to break it to you. I’m sure it got Jeff a lot of high-fives because it’s very complicated though!

Jeff Dean is a lot smarter than me, more accomplished, and more talented. But let’s be honest. He was a big part of TensorFlow and TensorFlow sucks. And I imagine it reflects a lot about Jeff Dean internally. Smart, clever, but maybe over c

This sounds like an accumulation and reiteration of other peoples ideas and blogs, barely changing or adding anything. Fair, but I was interested in the author’s own ideas or how those ideas they’re reiterating matter within the context of

Perhaps some would prefer to “fail” than everyone talk like a politician or corporate PR robot. Perhaps talking authentically and genuinely curates an audience worth having.
