I did it a couple of years ago. Just left and accepted a slightly lower compensation in a non-FAANG company, but still a very respectful salary. Didn't regret it for a moment. My a…

> I couldn't imagine being forced to work in a job that I no longer wanted to work. Well, that is easier. Just show up drunk and tell your boss to fuck off. Piss on his door if his…

The UK, thankfully, is not part of the EU anymore however. I don't think labor protections are eroding however. Those tend to be very popular among the population here. Perhaps I a…

Yes, that tends to be true. On the other hand, a lot of things influence employment beyond labor protection as well.

It doesn't really matter either way. Unemployed people in most EU countries do have access to healthcare, benefits that keep them from starving, etc. Not a paradise, but not a hell…

Is that not related in a roundabout way? Part of the reason the US has dismal social security is the same "dog eat dog" hyper individualistic mentality that is also present in peop…

I never had a problem with extended notice periods. The companies hiring me know full well how the law operates. It offers me no disadvantage. Only upsides.

> How is this legal, in the famously pro-labor EU? Because it's actually pro-labor. I go into a job knowing an employer cannot simply fire me out of the blue. Meaning I have a litt…

> I don't understand why it's necessary to treat employees with such sudden distrust To be honest, every employee should treat their employers with the same level of distrust. It's…

> Each to their own, but I wouldn't hire you It's okay, a lot of other companies do. There's plenty of fish in this particular ocean. Even if you would hire him, nothing meaningful…

As I said, this makes me very confused. Face to face communication tend to be absolutely inefficient in my experience. They are a hindrance more often than not.

You just described with incredible precision my approach to jobs and career. The only difference is that I make a point of leaving my current job in 18 to 24 months. That is the sw…

> Face to face collaboration is a lot more efficient. That's really not my experience. I'm always very confused when I see this statement being thrown around as if it was a univers…

I actually think AGI will bring about the collapse of civilization, and perhaps the end of humanity. I'm okay with it. I also think it will solve things such as energy and space tr…

This is actually an interesting reply, and something I did not consider. To me, the most impressive part of ChatGPT was not that it could give mostly correct answers to known probl…

And I still need to hire and accountant to do my taxes every year. Just throwing numbers on a spreadsheet didn't do the trick.

> Sure. But will that be the case 5-10 years from now? Not with language models. A language model can parse natural language, and with enough training data, give out what it thinks…

When all you have is a hammer, all problems look like nails? I'm genuinely impressed about ChatGPT, and have been thinking about many times in the past when having such a tool at h…

Correct me if I'm wrong, but answering questions for known answers is precisely the kind of thing a well trained LLM is built for. It doesn't understand context, and is absolutely …

Probably even more upvoted? That's the pattern I normally see online, people tend to be sympathetic to victims.

The only thing insane about this election was how he blatantly disrespected the law by increasing government spending in the months prior to the election. Multiple institutions ver…
