If physical engineers understood everything then standards would not have changed in many decades. Safety factors would be mostly unnecessary. Clearly not the case.
It reads like a sales call where they’re getting customer pushback and responding with something quantitative - not a good opener at all, especially for this audience. The GPT tone pushes it over the edge.
What they built looks great and I don’t disagree with their take in substance, but you get one chance to make your open source announcement good - don’t blow it like this.
I very much dislike the way this article blurs religious and doomsday thinking with conspiracy theory thinking. There’s nobody conspiring on the other side of AGI. Other than that it makes many good observations.
Yes I think that’s what it is - only the writing on the map uses a horizontal baseline whereas the real script uses a sloping baseline so it looks weird here.
Where do you guys get this nonsense from? Is there some sort of conspiracy theory factory? Do you have any idea how the rest of the world behaved during this time period? You are aware that the Muslims literally had multiple empires?
Quick back of the envelope calculation based on FEC data for 2022 says that SBF’s $40m donation accounted for about 0.03% of Democratic-aligned PAC donations. PACs across the political spectrum raised over $7bn and spent over $6bn.
Holmes was only found guilty on 4 of 11 charges, totalling around $300m raised from investors. SBF is guilty on all counts of stealing 26 times more than that - $8bn of his customers deposits.
I suspect your fears are well-placed. Whoever is hiring this team has no idea how to hire for those roles and that suggests that those roles might not be valued within the larger company. Though sometimes the hiring manager has just lucked out and hired a great team so far. Still, will that team be listened to? Will that team be respected?
I don’t like this approach because it doesn’t provide measurable or repeatable criteria for comparing candidates. It also suffers from a sort of Gell-Mann amnesia where a candidate who spouts good-sounding BS about a topic you’re not familiar with is assumed to be competent across the board.
