#142As a big fan of you; There are a lot of things feels off in the post, and as others mentioned it feels like you’re trying to convince yourself that you’re going to save the world but everyone knows it’s something else.

I meet people like this irl. I block them.
Do you think some of them are honestly like that? I can never quite figure out how many levels of irony^H^H^H delusion there are. Spoken as a person that would totally have his job, but just because it most certainly pays plenty and is likely fun to do.

#145> She was worried about a friend who was travelling in a far-away city, with little timezone overlap when they could chat, but she could talk to ChatGPT anytime about what the city was like and what tourist activities her friend might be doing, which helped her feel connected. She liked the memory feature too, saying it was like talking to a person who was living there. This seems rather sad. Is this really what AI i…
It's sad that we aren't all rich enough to have a personal assistant to tend to our sides 24/7? mean, it seems more useful than, say, cruise ships, but they get to exist.

Reminds me of the TechCrunch episode of Silicon Valley TV show. Everyone was there to make the big buck but all collectively pretended they were doing their work for the good of humankind. This guy and Rob Pike should have a talk.
"Making the world a better place by constructing elegant hierarchies for maximum code reuse and extensibility"
Beautiful satire in that show. I'm still throwing my own version of this quote every now and again at the office.

I use it as something to talk to about incredibly nerdy and/or obscure things no one else would be willing to talk about.
Same. I have a lot of ideas I like to explore that people find boring or tedious. I used to just read, but it's pleasant to have the option to play with those thoughts more.
I love pitching scifi premise/half book ideas at ChatGPT and having it write short stories that end the way I want them to, dammit.

I'm fine with people never justifying their personal choices. It's their business. But if they do bother to justify it then it's a show they put on for me. And reading this kind of explanation is like the show runner takes me for a fool. The net result is that I lose all respect for the person.
Unless they put on a show for themselves and that's who they try to fool. Probably why nobody mentions money in these shows. They're self motivational.

Firstly, you would do well to read the guidelines about avoiding snark, and then actually say whatever it is you’re trying to say rather than make insinuations. As is, this response comes across as a very shallow read. It’s hard to get to the root of what you’re actually saying in your post other than it quotes two paragraphs about how it’s not fun to push through the bureaucracy of a large organisation, which - I wo…
