Fuck coding

Any job that involves interacting with objects rather than people is on the chopping block. Maybe not in our lifetimes. The jobs that involve talking to people are also going to get hit with substantial splash damage, as most of the talking jobs involve talking about ways to direct and organize humans.

I just saw some window washers, their jobs are safe for now.

An offer he couldn’t refuse

This isn't really going to succeed until they rename it the "hyperintelligence" group.

Incidentally, I Googled 'AI models'. Holy shit, some of them are really lifelike.

About "50% from China" ... even among those labeled "American," many of them have Chinese-sounding names.
A little surprised that there aren't more Indians (of South-Asian descent).

Not sure what "L8+ Level" means, maybe a reference to Meta's pay scale.

I was wondering what MTS was… just means Member of Technical Staff at the company, such as OpenAI.

[Axtremus]

Some companies throw around the title "Engineer" rather casually (e.g., "Software Engineer"). Some other companies are more careful with the title, reserving the "Engineer" title only for those who are state-licensed "Professional Engineers" (PE), and use some other title like "Member of the Technical Staff" (MTS) for those who are not state-licensed PE.

I’ve never seen the latter except in civil engineering. State licensing was seen as totally unnecessary when I graduated BSEE in 1990.

I remember my grandfather (BSME from MIT class of ‘28) implored my mother to make me take the exam. He didn’t realize how irrelevant it was in the EE space.
