I think AI will be underwhelming but will have real applications. Crypto has always been a pure pyramid scheme

People are very susceptible to ideas. That's the premise of political propaganda and the entire advertising industry. It's not clear what the solution is but most people are consumers of ideas, not producers.

US universities don't really have research focused masters so they are shitty cash cow degrees. I think a research master's from a good European university can teach you a lot and make you a better programmer. It's kind of li

Not even close to true. I've received about 20 recruiter messages this week and most of my colleagues have had the same experience

The blue checks were given to public figures and serve a very valuable purpose. I'm not sure why people are so mad at the "blue checks".

Most exciting player I've ever seen on a football pitch. Messi is better but for pure entertainment value no one beats mbappe right now

Yup I don't like Elon but I assumed twitter would mostly stay the same with a bit more trumpism. I was fine with that but after the sheer stupidity of the last few weeks I'm going to have to leave.

Yup our current version of AI is great for cool demos and very bad for real world use cases.

Why would they when you could just google the answers to these questions the whole time. The point is to see if the candidate understands algorithms not to solve a novel problem.

It's not running well. Far more glitchy than it used to be. You couldn't reply on iPhones a few days ago. I constantly get page load failures on web. It has a decade+ of engineering work on it so I don't expect it to just col

An AI PhD from a reasonable university will easily make 200k + at SV companies

I think it's more likely because PhDs in AI/Ml are extremely expensive to hire. A PhD in AI generally does more than string together pytorch and tensorflow.

There is both an individual contribution and a societal contribution. No one is denying the individual contribution. But none of YC types had anything to do with inventing the internet but feel like they are the only ones who deserve it

Claude Shannon was able to do what he was able to do because of the ample research funding and the academic environment. I have great respect for people like Claude Shannon but they require an ecosystem to be able to do their work.

Who's saying anything needs to be banned. We're talking about who can reasonably claim to be contributing to the progress of society. Go ahead and smell the farts my friend

No not all work is equal. Progress is a rare thing. Do not equate all forms of work to progress. People will pay good money for women to fart on their faces. That's not valuable work. Neither is building shitty apps.

Most progress has come from universities, defense and government funding. These losers build an app and proclaim themselves gurus on the future. It's insane that people fall for it.

Most Founders are interchangeable. The entire business of YC is paying for a ton of people to found a ton of companies and hoping one hits. Luck is a huge factor. The issue is the 1 guy that does hit has an outsize impact on society. Someti

Pretty clear that these are people who want to fuck you over. Silicon Valley elites have accumulated enough power to come mask off. Entitled dirtbags who profited off government funded science and technology who've never created an oun
