<p>I wonder about the "psychopathy-sensing special abilities" being "conspiracy territory."<p>Let's say there were a sub-species of psychopaths.<p>Let's say, for you to be "evil-beyond-reason" it takes M chromosomes having N genes.<p>As a psychopath, you probably want to associate yourself with other psychopaths, but maybe not live/work among them, except to breed.<p>Why would you want to associate yourself?  Because if you work in tandem, you can exploit the rest of us with less friction, i.e. make laws.  Each psychopath draws their own little kingdom, for them to rule.<p>Hmm, I guess, if the psychopaths could "feel" that another was "one of them" they may indeed work with one another.<p>--<p>It is hard for me to think, that given the huge advantage of knowing "your kind" that you wouldn't somehow sense it.<p>This is crazy talk isn't it.  But look at the world.  It looks just like this.</p>

<p>Here's a question- and while I admit it is quite extreme- I've wondered this for quite some time- do please tell me why I'm wrong, because I feel as if I've started believing this more and more:<p>Could 5% of humanity be a psycho-path-subspecies?<p>These psychopaths are basically leeches on the rest of us, maybe even a cancer.  Not only do they feel no guilt for enslaving other (wage-slavery), but they are also fine with poisoning the body and the mind (too many to list).<p>Perhaps they can even identify others with the same causal DNA segments.  Sight?  Smell?  Micro-movements? Perhaps they <i>really do</i> see all non psycho-path-bearing-DNA-offspring as worms.  Perhaps they intentionally breed with each other to avoid spreading the gene to vasts numbers of people.<p>Could this explain the vast majority of suffering?</p>

<p>This is just another move in a game played by the tech overlords.<p>It has never been so obvious as now, that justice is not blind.  Without justice there is anarchy.<p>And at this point, to be honest, I say bring it on-  let's have the day of retribution before the billionaires have their AI robot armies.</p>

<p>I'm not sure if Plaid still is- but when they first came out they were pretty evil.  They would go into your accounts and download all activity.  I spent many hours e-mailing them, trying to get a clear answer of what data they collect- and they never said no to anything.<p>Whenever I've been forced to use Plaid, I use a throw away "free-checking" bank account that has $1 in it.<p>I guess birds of a feather flock together.</p>

<p>Am I correct in my understanding that- they had specialized software that not only tracked the ball, calculated spins using the logo, and fed calculated trajectories?</p>

<p>How did you decide to work at Meta?<p>I'll be honest, just the idea of working there makes me feel like vomiting.  For me, they are bizarrely evil.  They're not evil like, "we're going to destroy our competition through anti competitive practices," (which they do), but "let's destroy a whole generation of minds."<p>And now with the glasses.  I mean, jeeze.  Can there be a stronger signal of not caring for others?<p>It's as if Meta sees people as cattle.
Though I think a lot of techies see humans as cattle, truthfully.<p>What was your rationale?<p>I guess this question is out-of-the-blue, and I don't mean for you to justify your existence, but I've never understood why people choose to work for Meta.</p>

<p>This sounds like another "don't be evil."  And we all know how that ends.</p>

<p>I've read the blurb from previous years about doing one-shots with threats of death, or etc - but I've never seen that for long many prompt sessions.<p>I wonder - if you hired a programmer for a day, trapped them in a cage, and then threatened them, maybe it would be more productive for a while.  I mean, if I were writing that book, I could see how they would do <i>great</i> work for a bit.</p>
