Controversial take:

If someone calls himself "chief wizard" you should immediately assume he's a dishonest scumbag. He could put the emphasis of his role anywhere he wanted, and he chose to emphasize the hype aspect, because he knows that's what's more beneficial for him personal in financial terms.

It'd be nice if people didn't believe that the problem of ordering a pizza remotely and the problem of making an app were similar in complexity for automation. Still, venture capital market working as it should. Often it bets incorrectly, and wastes only its own money.

I saw a recent stat that the British police were arresting 1000 people a month for posting unacceptable things on social media or private emails. Can technical innovation occur in a world with such repressive laws?

… I mean, the lesson there is to stop reading whatever told you that, because it’s nonsense.
kbelder•1d ago
They should arrest whoever posted that.
