Jesus, can we find a phrase like "tech giants", rather than changing the acronym according to the stock market?
I typically use "F100" or "F500" to refer to the space of all large corporations. This feels to me like a happy blend between explicit naming and including everyone with an LLC.
> The air crackles with an almost Beatlemaniac energy as the star and his entourage tumble into a waiting Mercedes van. They’ve just ducked out of one event and are headed to another, then another, where a frenzied mob awaits. As they careen through the streets of London—the short hop from Holborn to Bloomsbury—it’s as if they’re surfing one of civilization’s before-and-after moments. The history-making force personi…

i highlighted this last night which seems to be making the rounds - https://twitter.com/swyx/status/1699369076529971545 Alec's CV ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/alecradford/ ) seems to be: - 2011-2016 BSc Eng from Olin College - 2013+ started a data/AI consultancy as a sophomore that turned into a vague startup/product? - 2015 first paper on GANs coauthored with soumith https://arxiv.org/pdf/1511.06434.pdf%C3 - 2016 f…
They all have crazy CVs. If you're really talented in the US you can get very far on talent alone. If he was in Germany he's be a Ph.d or Postdoc toiling in some outdated research field that nobody cares about. The CTO has an even crazier CV. Born in the poorest European country, BSc at Dartmond (is that considered a good uni? idk), internship at GS, a stint at Tesla, couple of startups and hits gold with OpenAi. A B…

maybe Europe needs to lighten up a little on the credentialism. (i am not at all saying this is exclusive to europe tho)
It's all caused by the same risk averse mentality, though.
A 9,500 word article about what OpenAI and Sam Altman want without mentioning Worldcoin/UBI is quite a feat... especially since it seems to be a major part of the end state he's aiming for. See the description in Sam's blog post "Moore's Law for Everything"[1] (cf. "dividend") The dichotomy of aggressively pursuing "AGI" while simultaneously warning that it is an "extinction-level threat" is bait for regulators who m…

That's if they are not ambitious. Might also be trying to become the new Google, or at least put the O in MANFANGO.
Lol I did always wonder how Netflix qualified for FAANG but little ol' Microsoft didn't.
It has nothing to do with tech, salary, talent, or anything like it. It's purely based on stock growth in 2012/2013.
