10 weeks of 100h work weeks so you can have a 98% (publically disclosed) chance of being denied a Golden Ticket to the AI factory.
This is very weird but not particularly notable, other than that these guys have apparently been YC funded in 2017, and I canāt find anything about the company in the directory: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies?batch=Summer+2017⦠until I looked at the CEOās name. Lambda School Bloom Institute GauntletAIās latest pivot is asking for 1000 hours of voluntary unpaid labour.
e: apologies for the vaguepost, I couldāve sworn I put down the name, but in any case, itās the return of PGās favourite guy not named Sam Altman, Austen Allred
Being paid to reddit has to be the most pathetic thing you can do, and I say that as someone who once reddited unpaid.
This almost reads like tptacek doesnāt understand why lucidityās piece a year ago was so effective and tried to write it from the opposite angle by punching down instead of punching up.
Iād have thought that a guy who writes on the internet like itās a competition sport could recognize the obvious problems of this, but maybe Iām just a vibe coding Youtuber.
Being the worst and the biggest studios arenāt unrelated concepts, theyāre the biggest because theyāre the worst.
I donāt get it, how is every one of the most touted people in the AI space among the least credible people in the industry.
Like literally every time its a person whose name I recognize from something else theyāve done, that something else is something I hate.
Reminds me something F.D. Signifier said on a music podcast.
Progressives are losing the cultural war in a lot of ways, but theyāll always need us because weāre the ones pushing the boundaries on art, and it turns out, no matter how ghoulish people want to act, everyone has genuine love of fucking awesome art. The true loss condition is being captured by the tools of the master.
Listen, Iām just saying that this never wouldāve happened with hg.
If youāre referring to genetic algorithms, those work by giving the computer some type of target to gun for thatās easy to measure and then letting the computer go loose with randomly changing bits from the original object. I guess in your mind, thatād be randomly evolving the codebase and then submitting the best version.
Thereās a lot of problems with the idea of genetic codebase that Iām sure you can figure out on your own, but Iāll give you one for free: ābetter codeā is a very hard thing for computers to measure.
Iām just glad all my friends are such smart rational independent thinkers that weāve all independently come to the same conclusion that the status quo is perfect!
āChatGPT is good, but only if no one in a position of authority uses itā
Cool.
This caused me to reconsider something. I had kinda assumed that everything sucks because the bar of quality for software is so low, and thatās pulling it down for every other field now that software proliferated into eating the world.
But I didnāt examine that the relationship could work in both directions. Software sucks some of the time, but it doesnāt excuse shit like how Crowdstrike can still be in business, and we should probably look into whatās caused us to develop the attitude about not caring that shit is shit, just because the shit salesmen told us itāll be less shit in the future.
