@OrevaZSN Golf courses use 2x more water than data centers. Nice strawman 😭

Jesus the intern won’t stop asking questions like dude we gave you the Claude log in and unlimited usage

Honestly feel like this trend has to do more with lots of people in tech being fairly uncultured than anything else.

Successful people in finance often have these high cultural taste hobbies like art collecting or fine wines or literature.

Extremely rare in tech to see someone with that kind of interest. And I think that manifests itself physically in these low taste spaces that they curate. But it gets painted as a virtue to cope

glad to know Mythos' safety concerns have been addressed right as Anthropic also secured tens of billions in inference compute 👍

@NipseyHoussle AWS, free lunches, and 3 hours of work all in the same sentence. I’m glad everyone caught the larp quickly.

[zek @zekramu]

yeah so we are actually going to be employed forever lmao.

every single week I have interviews dog. if you can’t find a job in tech rn maybe consider learning the skills that are in demand instead of being stubborn and prideful.

or leave. more for the rest of us.

@_rondizi @zekramu Many such cases it’s actually ridiculous

Everyone is always rooting for you. Your parents want you to be a great son. Wife wants you to be a great husband. Your boss wants you to be a slam dunk hire. Every first date you’ve ever been on they’ve been rooting for you to get laid. Every time you started to tell a joke people hoped it would have a hilarious punch line. Your proximity to anyone is a reflection of themself, meaning the deck is never stacked against you, and your failures are completely your own

when google did layoffs a few years ago tons of people found out they were laid off because they couldn't badge in after commuting to the office

multiple people on my team and neighboring teams were affected by the layoffs but the crazy thing is i know people who were rehired within a few months of being let go

i think companies just have a large margin of error when they do these things. they figure the handful of people they incorrectly lay off will pale in comparison to the cost savings they reap by removing a large percentage of the workforce

these layoffs feel so dystopian nowadays especially since meta employees ended up learning the exact day the massive cuts would happen

imagine having to do your job the last few weeks knowing that thousands of people were going to be laid off by the end of the month

i actually don't think these layoffs should surprise people since businesses will always do what's best for business and it's best to accept that notion when you join any company

never be loyal to a company because a company will never be loyal to you

you have a 9+ digit employee number at these companies for a reason because you're literally just a number

these companies don't owe you anything and this should feel freeing since it should make you realize you don't owe them anything either

don't feel bad about quitting
don't feel bad about taking vacation
don't feel bad about signing off early

employees should min-max employment the same way companies min-max employees

@learntToCode @bizlet7 Sure I agree, but does he not expect this to backfire hard when he tried to get any AI infrastructure approved? Or when his house gets attacked like Altman?

@DmytroKrasun The real blackpill is realizing your tracked by so many mediums the real anonymity is being part of the crowd

“Hey Peter, what’s happening… I noticed that you only used 2 million tokens yesterday. The company minimum is 100 million per day…. So, uh if you could uh, just get that token spend up a bit, that would be great…”

[ℏεsam @Hesamation]

“businesses have a strong incentive to talk about layoffs as if they were caused by AI. After all, talking about how they’re using AI to be far more productive with fewer staff makes them look smart. This is a better message than admitting they overhired during the pandemic”

If you stay at a company for longer than 3 years without whole percentage point equity you are being actively raped

[Ariel @redtachyon]

This is 100% on the companies btw. They create the incentives, the employees simply react to them.

If your employee can get a 30% pay boost by going to a competitor and you offer them a 5% annual raise...

@scaling01 Ive seen like 20 variations of this graph and our position within it, only for us to probably be in a S-Curve

Oh wow, I wasn't aware that agentic coding increased the load on GitHub THAT much.

No wonder they're losing nines. This is a completely different scale.

Graduated college

you get a short period after graduating to hyper gamble into elite status, and if you fail you just end up a wage cuck for life.
