Yeah, at the time a huge factor was that I had like 4 years equivalent pay in bonuses that I would have had to forfeit, so a big hiring bonus would have been needed to offset that.

Plus I hate interviewing anyway.

Further I have had some experience with a "hot" employer and my experience was that they knew how coveted they are and generally had an attitude of "you should be grateful you get to work here at all" compared to a "wow, you actually are willing to work for us?" Attitude at a less well regarded employer. I have no insight on SpaceX, but direct or indirect experience with a handful of similarly "amazing" employers, so maybe SpaceX might have been different, but based on the musk treatment is twitter employees, I'm suspicious.

Don't worry, if we are in the bubble popping, we will have plenty of dominos falling and each one will have a chorus of techbro cheerleaders proclaiming that umm.. actually it's not a bad thing for whatever contrived reasons.

Some of our comments don't deserve even one upvote.

Think we have to realistically recognize that not all the people advancing the agenda are bots or even Russian. Even without prodding, pretty much any perspective is held sincerely by someone or someones.

Besides, presumably the campaign would have the effect of converting at least some true believers.

Also, it's a bit of a fantasy to assume that a few datacenters would suffice for fully dismantling these sorts of compaigns.

Funnily enough, some years back a recruiter came knocking for me to interview for SpaceX. I was not especially interested (not due to any particular insight to the true Musk or anything, just didn't feel like it), and the recruitor seemed sincerely baffled why I didn't immediately fall to the floor in awe at the possibility.

I can count the number of people I know who have done that on two hands... Three people.

The neat thing is it can be all of the above.

People who could build homes can get more money to be on datacenter builds instead.

Sounds like ELIZA's turn.

It writes bash scripts just like one colleague of mine has long written. Of all the styles to land on, it managed to land on the worst one I had ever seen.

Resharing your transcode would be a violation, even assuming the original was somehow an unencumbered HEVC. Ripping a VHS and encoding would still be a violation even without any DMCA complications

I don't know about that.

Feels like there's a high risk of the LLM going off script and going against the points they are trying to make.

Just like Trump's AI site saying the 2020 election was not stolen.
