I’ve given up trying to convince people. If you can’t use AI and immediately grasp how it could be valuable I can’t help you. Best of luck. I’ll be using it.
it's pretty bleak to me how unpopular AI is in spite of how transformatively useful it is

This will be played like the european rocket guy one day
JUST IN: SpaceX needs at least $200 billion to enter wireless once you add up spectrum, towers, and antennas, according to Deutsche Telekom CEO, who says "welcome to the party" Tim Höttges (CEO): “And by the way, I take his attempt serious. He has now bought 76 megahertz of spectrum. By the way, we have 400 megahertz. So if you now say, okay, he can buy the spectrum prospectively, do your math. These are kind of triple digit billions, which are needed to gain the spectrum position. Okay, if he has the money, go for it." "Then he has to build a network. I can tell you, we have 85,000 towers. No, he can rent towers, no question. But this is another 20 billion to 30 billion, which are required. Put antennas on it. Okay, you can buy antennas and you can get maybe even in a cheaper way or you construct it in a new way, but you need money for that." "So therefore, my assessment is that SpaceX at least if they want to play in that industry needs at least minimum 200 billion, but even beyond that to play in an industry, which we have, let’s say, professionalized over the last twenty years. Okay, welcome to the party.”

The default human state for most of existence was abject poverty. Total peasantry. 7 year olds working in a coal mine that was 3-4 feet tall was an improvement on this. Be grateful for everything.

I think AI played a way bigger role in this election than people realize 99% of normal people I interact with are very scared of AI - horrified even when I express optimism about it

Hard to swallow pill: A calorie deficit describes what happens when you lose weight. It doesn't explain why it happened, how your body regulated it, or why eating less would necessarily be the best way to make it happen.

One of the sweetest things in life is going with your gut when you get bad vibes from a person And it turns out later that they were a huge asshole

Really bad vibes from a CPO I interviewed within Jan He asked for a bunch of work examples before next round - I said no, not interested. Hiring manager reached out to see if I'd be interested in replacing him rather than working for him
