There is a well established procedure for these things, happens in hospitals etc. Not a new question a jury needs to address.

Which part of Figma can you build with 20 engineers? I think we're still not close to a small team building real-time collaboration software at scale that actually works at the quality level that customers expect.

I think we can expect a bifurcation: managerial jobs that will require a lot of breadth and engineering jobs that will require a lot of depth. The manager engineers will have AIs doing all sorts of things for them across the stack. The deep engineers will develop an expertise that the AI can't get to (at least not yet).

That's not a plausible explanation. sama knows how good Schulman is, of course he'd be glad to let him not manage anyone and continue his work.

Was Pensando a bad acquisition? Isn't it a bit early to tell?

Still aren’t. Alphabet only publishes YouTube revenue.

I'm saying that the app looks at what you like in order to serve you content in the feed. Do you dispute this?

Ad tracking has nothing to do with privacy. The app is already tracking your every move to serve relevant content. Serving relevant ads is the same thing and is no more of an infringement on your privacy.

Similarly to GDPR - ATT is bad for Meta but much worse for Meta's competitors.

Interesting that you say Node programming is a catastrophe, I think it’s fantastic.

Nvidia has been working on CUDA for 16 years and for the past few years building ML use cases on CUDA. AMD is late in the game with ROCm. That said, I think the future is bright for AMD. The MI300X looks great and they're spending a lot on making ROCm better and fully PyTorch compatible, which will automatically make all of the PyTorch-based software AMD ready.
