I don't know if borders matter much in this case. It's approximately just as easy to travel to England from many other countries as it is to travel to England from the rest of the …

4% drop is a nothingburger. Stocks drop more than that for overreactions to random news all the time.

We know he's definitely stepping. That's a start.

I think Demis has been way more influential in the past decade. Jeff and Sanjay built a lot of Google's foundational software, but that was a long time ago.

What do you mean?

Even if that's the way it should be, it's not reality. You can study for the interviews you'd like to have, or the ones you'll actually have.

If you expect Leetcode-style problems in the interview and are actually interested in doing your best there, why wouldn't you prepare for that?

We're specifically talking about people who are interviewing for jobs - I'd expect a lot of them to have done leetcode before the interviews. Also: when we think about whether we'v…

Plot twist: the interviewer despises the internal culture and did this as a way to send a signal that the interviewee shouldn't work there regardless of how well the interview went…

Great show, great reference.

Then I have to deal with whichever random person they decide to send. I can't be the only one who finds this annoying (even if I'm not in the majority).

I don't want a person I don't know very well in my space. That aside: if I'm lucky enough to find a person who's good and reliable, they might move away, switch jobs etc. It has al…

> Hell, the only ones that can afford them will be the same that would hire human household help. But maybe they'd rather deal with a robot than a human?

Another way to look at it is that they're avoiding some of the expensive parts of making products that use AI, while leaning into their strengths. No Tesla required within the expl…

These robots look slow and not very fluid in their motions, but LLMs like ChatGPT also looked very dumb initially. If progress is as fast as LLMs , this could have massive applicat…

Yes. That's a whole other level of difficulty to accomplish safely.

Why does it raise alarm? Pretty sure all this spending was planned.
