    How are you trying to help me lol? I brought up Altman because he's one of the heroes of the AI movement. For some reason anything I add to the conversation isn't a part of it thou…

    Yea, because I actually know many, and they're not good people. Also good job missing that this thread is about Altman and friends in addition to every one involved in it. Satvik h…

    That's the larp I was talking about. Following fads and being a scammer is not curiosity in my book.

    Fully expecting to get banned for my comment, but I'll just go on. Look at the silicon valley heroes and they're all business types. There's a few rare exceptions.

    Who are you arguing against? When did I say it wouldn't? I'm glad you like it. No need to fight me?

    The title has always existed. I meant the obsession about being a "a junior" or "a senior", like gaining an achievement in a video game or something. I just thought every young per…

    (I know you're replying to another guy but I just saw this.) I've been programming for 20 years, but I like the LLM as a learning assistant. The part I don't like is when you just …

    When did this "junior/senior" lingo get cool? I don't remember it being used when I was young. Maybe the leet code trend brought on a sort of gamification of the profession, with r…

    New York Post states it in a YouTube video titled 'All About Brown, MIT Shooting Suspect Claudio Neves Valente – who BARKED During Massacre'.
