Nearly all (99%+) people who use this phrase are anti-AI and just looking to show off how much they dislike AI and how clever they can be in insulting it.
So it's a great phrase because in just about every case I can ignore what someone says afterwards.
> PineVoice is in an early-stage development and early adopters will encounter quirks and performance issues. Future firmware updates should resolve issues in time, but like all of Pine64’s products, you’re not buying a consumer-grade product.
Like the Penny Arcade comic about a director who’s making a movie that’s not meant for the critics. “Wait, you can do that?”
My Mac Mini took so long to arrive that I never messed with OpenClaw/Hermes and just went straight to Claude CoWork w/ Dispatch from my phone. One of the biggest blessings in disguise I can remember.
I read /r/openclaw for ideas on automations and 95% of the content is complaints or people having it do things that just don't need to be done.
As a side question for anyone reading this, what are the best agentic AI subreddits for people who are actually using it for work and not just personal dashboards?
So if Jeff Bezos (and every other billionaire) was worth $999,999,999, then the world is much better off?
You’re going to have to explain the logic of that to me.
Do you disagree that (many, perhaps not all) billionaires also create a massive amount of value for society? Would Jeff Bezos be a billionaire if Amazon was a net drain on society?
Jeff Bezos being incredibly rich doesn’t make my life worse. In fact, Amazon makes my life better. I’ve had jobs that existed because Amazon existed. I’ve had things I wanted to buy delivered very quickly. I read my Kindle for hundreds of hours a year.
If we eliminated billionaires would everyone have healthcare, a decent roof over their head, and other basic things?
I generally believe that to not be the case. The government misspends (to an extent) the money it has now. So the solution is to give them more money to misspend?
IMO this would be like in 1997 (or pick whatever year you think the Internet took off) asking, "How do you feel about posts about the Internet taking over the HN front page?"
This is what makes this a potentially (mostly) great interview. If the candidate can’t/doesn’t understand the dynamic of the interview and hates it, they opt out of the process.
Probably only thing I would’ve done differently would have been to limit first call to 30 minutes to save me time when someone is obviously a bad fit.
> I've never understood why people argue that the model of appealing to a landlord to perform house work is psychologically superior to doing that same work yourself.
Because I have less than 0 interest in doing that work myself. If I have to email 5 days in a row to get something fixed, that is a cost I’ll happily pay.
I want to spend 0 of my time on home maintenance of any kind. I’d rather be reading a book, watching tv, shopping online, going out to eat, sitting quietly, etc.
It’s not particularly complicated, we just see the world in different ways.
Exhibit A.
