That inspired me to copy your comment as a prompt in ChatGPT: Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to impact various aspects of the commercial real estate industry, but it may not have the ability to save or prevent a commercial real estate bubble on its own. The state of the commercial real estate market is influenced by a complex interplay of economic, financial, and market forces, and the rise or fall of…

Oh wow, another useless ChatGPT text prompt answer... Good job... ?

None of the output touches on AI being a catalyst for people returning to the office like the article is clearly trying to do

> Is there value in moving there for an individual who’s an employed swe, but trying to break into AI? Yes. If you’ve never experienced the value of an industrial cluster, it’s exhilarating. You still have to hustle. But the payoff on a single day well executed is exponential; meetings beget introductions and actions are decided on handshakes.

So if I move there I should maximize meetups? How does one filter meetups? I only ask because I do see a large quantity of meetups, but having never been there before I’m not sure what to expect, and I’m considering a short term (30-60 days) trip to determine if moving there is a good idea for my career or if I should just stick to remote work in the midwest

> should maximize meetups? How does one filter meetups?

Yes. And don't. Also, aggressively reach out to arrange bilateral meetings and ask friends for introductions. When you're at a bar, engage with those around you. (Genuinely, I might add. There are a lot of smart, interesting people in San Francisco. Also douchebags. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

What if what you can build based on humanity's collective "intellectual property" is worth the discomfort of not "owning" the work you release into the world?

Suppose you could use the argument for robbing everyone of their possessions. I believe communists did that. Imagine if the state built based on humanity’s collective property. Didnt go well did it?

Not a great argument.

Completely agree, I hate it when people post college-sophomore-quality walls of AI text as if it’s adding to the conversation or is even the least bit insightful.

Walking by crypto meetups attended by people that mostly looked like buttoned up bankers sure was… something.

Let’s not try to write off all the ridiculous crypto bullshit as “buttoned up bankers.” There was (and is) plenty of bona fide Silicon Valley nerds in on the cult/con.

That’s not what I said or meant. At the end of it all the meetups went from nerd to mostly clueless “investors” and apparently we were all suppose to believe the tech utopia narrative that late into the game.
