Yes, because they’re so bleeding edge and powerful.

Whether you believe that is another thing. But that’s the signal. It’s amazing marketing for them, even if a pain in the ass for customers rn

Large volume of text for a fellow who apparently lacks familiarity with the study of consciousness in the first place.

This is how a lot of regular people are engaging with AI, whether you consider it silly or not.

to be clear, the work you’re doing is only relevant to the extent it produces product

nobody cares if you use your brain or not. they do care if you’re efficiently delivering reliable product

Fully agree and am pretty disappointed reading replies on here. Anyone familiar with the demographics of this forum? What % male is it? If you have women in your life, ask their thoughts on this. It’s easy to not understand problems that don’t exist for us.

agree here

vehicle safety improvements are one of the primary motivators (for me) to drive new cars. driving is dangerous and i want the best odds when the inevitable occurs

It criticized the potus, and threat of his ire is enough to scare corporations in 2025. A fairly concerning development

i guess it will depend a lot on where you bought

some parts of california have been affected by insurers more than others, but in those more minimally affected? prop tax is suppressed via prop 13 (for better or worse), and the cost of insurance is a drop in the bucket relative to what id be paying for a roof over my head otherwise tbh

yep

my life cannot be uprooted based on the whims of a crummy landlord or because my obligation has crept out of my budget

i bought conservatively and now have a tiny payment relative to what i’d otherwise have to pay to live in the bay area. peace of mind is hard to put a price on

it’s wild seeing this forum both-sides-same itself into overlooking the hate this dude put into the world

Job market seems healthy for anyone with sufficient experience.

My company is hiring, my inbox is slammed with companies hiring. And this is for product engineering and leadership.

The market is cold for juniors, and unclear when/how that’s changing.

Edit for context, but this is in silicon valley. Never relocated during the pandemic - always suspected this might end up being the case.
