> Imagine you are the CEO, and you are struggling with vocal and distracting luddite engineers. How would you handle the situation?

I would focus on upskilling, get engineers more comfortable with AI, and find a middle ground - move fast but don't compromise on security.

> Kudos to him for being candid and direct, knowing that the chat would get leaked. Honestly I wish more leadership would just keep it real.

I don't think he knew the chat would be leaked, and there is a difference between being candid and being a dick

> Team management here.

Open hostility is the hallmark of a bad leader

Synthetic7346··on Investor-owned utilities charge 23% more for electricity than public providers
Is this a serious take? Citations from DOGE and American perception?
Synthetic7346··on Investor-owned utilities charge 23% more for electricity than public providers
That doesn't explain how Silicon valley powered, owned by the city of Santa Clara, can provide electricity at 18c/kwh while the next city over PG&E charges 48c/kwh

Has Santa Clara diversified their energy and Sunnyvale did not?

Synthetic7346··on AnyPS5: Port PS5 binaries to PC without emulation (87% system libraries mapped)
Your post makes sense, but most software was moving to the cloud even before AI. Why sell someone a copy of ms office when you can get them to subscribe to O365?

Synthetic7346··on I quit OpenAI because its culture is broken
Return or donate? Won't OpenAI profit from returns?
Synthetic7346··on We're going to need default hard budget caps on pretty much everything
Yes and no. I suspect many of the hard limits were set arbitrarily, and we'll see a relaxation of limits as people get frustrated with the limited use they get out of them. And some services will genuinely need to be re written to support higher rps or risk losing customers

As a hiring manager, I would love to hire only citizens, but only the underqualified apply. I guess the qualified citizens all just go the Frontier labs. We don't have the time to train folks, we need them to hit the ground running. Real conundrum tbh
