Call me weird, I know absolutely nothing about what you just wrote but I'm super intrigued now and would love to know more, ah. But that's just because I'm generally curious about pretty much everything. But I can see why it can be hard to find people to talk about that. Heck it might be hard to find people who even know about that topic in general.

Not many people without at least a masters degree in physics know what "ergodic" means.

I can imagine. Well, in that case I hope 2026 will bring you some human connection that does have a masters in physics.

To answer a few people at once: I did mention compensation as a factor in the post, but I didn't elaborate details, so easy to miss. Comp is important of course, but so are the other factors. It feels like I can't go for a day without reading about the cost of AI datacenters in the news, and I can do something about it.

This article is so full of itself I can hardly stand to read it. I had to just sort of skim it instead. Sorry! This style just doesn't do it for me.

Vital clarification in this context, thank you so much

Again, many comments here saying I only care about the money, and while comp is an important factor I think it characterizes me as someone I'm not, and forgets what I've been doing for the past two decades. I've spent thousands of hours of my life writing textbooks for roughly minimum wage, as I want to help others like me (I came from nothing, with no access tech meetups or conferences, and books were the gateway to…

You deserve a good compensation as you've obviously put in the work.

I like how my eyes went over the first sentence, barely parsing it and already discarding the information, because its obviously ai generated. Its like the circumstances we live in added a new layer of perception to my brain to guard itself against the flood of useless information!

It isn't AI generated it is just plain a vacuous cliche. Seriously what is with people who think 'they can always tell it is AI' when really AI is living rent free in their head and they fixate on anything they don't like and are oh so convinced it must be the AI they hate. They're exactly like Fundamentalists and the devil. Or Communists and how they think capitalism literally intentionally created everything as har…

Holy mother of ai psychosis

It's raining anyway. If I piss on your face, I can at least try to make the experience as positive as possible for you.

I apologize for the obscenity. I hope it's clear that I was trying to make a point in relation to the article.

Ignore the downvotes, this group is finicky.
