Geez, I hope there aren't people like you working at Google

Why can't Emergency Alert System provide the same service.

As we continue to expand our Satellite System, this becomes even moot as we can broadcast via SOS text messages

Google Search is pretty good at detecting this dual-content attacks. It's not this is the first time someone thought about that and it will heavily penalize websites that do that.

This is just the NotebookLM crawler that is being tricked, which is still in it's experimental stage. Rest assured as it scales Google can easily implement safeguards against all spammy tricks people use

luddites gonna luddite

Dockworkers abusing their monopoly powers and raising prices is price gouging?

Like I said, if you didn't follow Orion's demo and still parroting "Metaverse Bad" you belong in the exact same category as Blockbuster

Ummm sure buddy. Let's bring anecdotes vs real world data

Remember when the Russians mocked Elon Musk for his rocket purchase?

Remember when Blockbuster mocked Netflix?

Remember when Steve Ballmer mocked the iPhone?

Remember when Zuck was mocked for the Metaverse?

I'm pretty sure Sam would have heard similar mockings like "You can't take on Google behemoth, podcaster bro" before.

But the sad part is, the newer tech generation is so brainwashed that it takes the side of the mocker instead of the mockee.

Watch Sam partner with some other fab like Intel and make TSMC irrelevant. Of course HN will then side with Sam

How TF Flight Simulator is not on VR is the biggest mystery to me. It is the most obvious killer app to showcase both the game and VR headset.

Of course, being contrarian and being right is important.

Happy to bet on Sam Altman and go short on Gary Marcus and popular HN in this case.

This reminds of all the anti-Tesla "Tesla is dead/bankrupt" in 2017/18 takes from mostly clueless people (Gary Marcus is a certified idiot) who don't know anything about scaling a business, TAM of Knowledge Industry ($30T and growing).

Always, happy to take the other side of the bet of popular HN comments. (see META, TSLA)

Facebook still has 3B happy users.

It's only privileged, highly-paid coastal elites that hate FB.

Zuck, can literally say GFY as they don't matter in the broad scheme of things and innovations.

Again, it's easy to be a CTO for a startup. You just have to be at the right time. Your role is literally is, do all the stuff Researchers/Engineers have to deal with. Do you really think Mira set the technical agenda, architecture for OpenAI?

It's a pity that HN crowd doesn't go one-level deep and truly understand on first principles

Sometimes with good looks and charm, you can fall up.

Point me to a single credential where you feel confident of putting your money on her?

I can't imagine investor pouring money on her. She has zero credibility both hardcore STEM like Ilya or a visionary like Jobs/Musk

1 you use 1

2 (or even 3) you use "a couple"

A few is almost always > 3 and one could argue that upper limit 15

So, 10 years to 50 years

Some people are quitters and some people push through the initial discomfort

Open Source software works because it scales.

When you build an open source software or creative commons content, it is instantly available to billions.

Cooking, Building, and Healthcare doesn't.

Your free 4 hour per day service to others only scales to the one person that probably benefited from it and for a short period.

A 4 hour bug fix / feature add is benefitting thousands every day.

Atoms vs Bits

This scenario exists only in progressive and HNers heads. Companies make money and Capitalism works by offering more services not fewer. Are there companies that does short-term thinking? Yes. But overall, our standard of living and quality of services has always improved

just because you are anti-social, doesn't mean the general public are

Anyone who uses this line of argument is one of the clueless person about everything. I'd fire them first

ITT : people confusing personal productivity (I finished my given set of tasks) vs company productivity (collaborate to bring new ideas into market) and most modern university educated won't get it

Balls that go in the opposite direction (of normal) is called Googly

Their standard of living has improved dramatically precisely because of access to technology

Ha Ha, French Software Engineers have these protections and their pay is shit.

If you look at what happened to Yahoo, Intel, AT&T with their generous WFH policies, no leader worth their salt would ever give this leeway to employees.

There is not a single company that has had long-term WFH success (that had to actually compete in the open marketplace).

Every employee has good intentions, but entropy is a bitch. The culture of action, innovation slowly erodes every single day and five years down the line it is beyond repair. (see Yahoo, Intel).

I know this is unpopular opinion among progressive HNers, but reality bites. And with coming glut of computer science professionals you don't the bargaining power that you enjoyed the past decade.

Incredibly dumb argument. Technological advancements like the Internet, Google Search, YouTube, Social Media, Smartphones have benefitted the masses -- the poorest person in Bangladesh have the same access to these technologies as the President of US or a Billionaire.

ChatGPT is literally available to everyone, but yet it takes an incredible amount of brainwashing to claim these technologies are not to the benefit of the people. These are also claims made by highly privileged, highly paid, entitled coastal elites.

Go talk to a poor bangladeshi farmer and they will have a different story to tell

You can make a documentary about any person or any company on this planet and make them look evil with the benefit of hindsight.

Engineers always over value their ability to start companies on their own. There is a lot to building a successful company and needs irrationality and risk-taking (not exactly traits of a median engineer).

Engineers like Musk, Zuck, Gates are outliers than the norm. If you are a Boeing Engineer and had above average risk-appetite, you wouldn't be stuck in Boeing for 10+ years.

The article was returning in 2018. The only bias here is from HNers who are massively anti-Google
