Exactly, and especially SV and the US has seemingly been almost entirely locked down by Indians.

At some point, everyone on Facebook realized almost at the same time, that it was no longer a place to share, but a place to compete.

Then everyone basically stopped sharing and started curating.

This is what "ESG" is in practice.

Its insanity.

Give powers to idiots and they will come up with stuff like this.

Trumps Playbook will actually work, so MAGA will get results.

Tariffs will force productivity and salaries higher (and prices), then automation which is the main driver of productivity will kick in which lowers prices of goods again.

Globalisation was basically the west standing still and waiting for the rest to catch up - the last to industrialise will always have the best productivity and industrial base. It was always stupid, but it lifted billions out of poverty so there's that.

The effects will take way longer than the 3 years he has left, so he has oversold the effectiveness of it all.

This is all assuming AGI isn't around the corner, the VLAs, VLM, LLM and other models opens up automation on a whole new scale.

For any competent person with agency and a dream, this could be a true golden age - most things are within reach which before was locked down behind hundreds or thousand of hours of training and work to master.

omg notion is horrendous

This is from the All in session? ;

Seems to me that this is just another level of throwing compute at the problem.

Same way programs was way more efficient before and now they are "bloated" with packages, abstractions, slow implementations of algos and scaffolding.

The concept of what is good software development might be changing as well.

LLMs might not write the best code, but they sure can write a lot of it.

Margin Call hits the spot without becoming overly pompous like The Big Short. Its story is centered around Goldman Sachs.

And make no mistake Wall Street gambles full well knowing that the government will save them - Steve Bannon was right on the spot about that.

LK-99? The room temperature superconductor made by some guys in a small lab in Korea after 20 years of attempts - who doesn't want that to be real.

Won´t say people fell for it though it was just the current happening at the time.

> who doesn't want that to be real.

I think that's exactly the point the person you're responding to is calling out. That's a massive bias.

Uh… what do you call mass downvoting anything reasonably skeptical? I saw comments saying “I’ll wait until the data can be replicated to believe it” turn grey almost immediately on most threads. And after we knew it didn’t replicate it took the community the better part of a week to grieve and admit that the “it’s not a superconductor” results were real and not operator error.
