9/11, 2008, and now AI job displacement is also bad luck

Maybe I've always been a terrible engineer but I'm humble enough to admit the way I code has always been exactly like the LLM. If it's something brand new I'm googling it and pattern matching how to write it. If it's based on existing functionality I'm doing ctrl + f and pattern matching based on that and how to insert the minimal code changes to accomplish the task

Under the Biden/Harris administration even software engineers were hurting and couldn't find work. Unprecedented

Infinite loss multiplied by small chance is still infinite risk

This is an aircraft worth taking great lengths to avoid. Cancelling important trips, meetings, etc.

To avoid getting scammed never answer any call or engage with any email you don't expect. As a bonus, ignore anyone at your front door you did not invite

Yep. After xz we don't need a bot mindlessly fixing all suggestions from malicious actors

Very lenient and it doesn't set a deterrent at all for people like SBF. Basically you can go off the charts on the sentencing guidelines and commit 3 counts of perjury in court and still have the same Expected Value as if you stopped the crime at a smaller scale

Anyone else think of themselves as a GPT? When I write my brain just predicts good words that come next based on my experiences. No doubt in my mind AGI is coming.

Makes sense why we are seeing mass layoffs. It feels like the end of a tech era and companies must rapidly shift priorities

Apple and their fans always represented peak arrogance to me. Idiots who would spend $1000 on a phone and $3000 on a laptop that had more bugs and compatibility issues with hardware and gaming than Windows. Only decent product they made was the iPod

Since gold reached 10 trillion market cap I am very confident BTC will too. Mainly due to the inflation hedge trade

Luckily Bitcoin can be sold on a Sunday afternoon at market price with plenty of liquidity in seconds. Good luck lining up a deal like that with the items you listed.

It's hard for humans to put ego aside and admit they were wrong. Also hard to put emotion aside and forget the pain of missing out from $100 to $45k.

I think there's still an easy 10X to match Gold and 100X is possible if it becomes the world's preferred reserve asset
