- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 1 day ago:
If you have those skills, you can apply them to yourself. You can make people value your contributions enough to pay you for them. You can convince people to give you the chance to make larger contributions to the company.
If you can get that kind of experience and are technical enough to identify an emerging idea, you can convince a banker or investor to help you start a business.

I’m retired from a technical field. I know lots of folks that hold this opinion.
I have also seen excellent technologies and fortunes wasted because technological experts thought that marketing and finance weren’t important. They thought that because their technology was better than anything else, people would want it.
People are busy. Marketing is required to give people a chance to understand what they might get if they spend their time and money on your product.
Finance and leadership are needed to build and fund the human machine that is the company producing the product.

True for the US
According to a BMW spokesperson, seat heaters were offered in subscription form in the UK, Germany, New Zealand, South Korea, South Africa, etc.
They stopped with the seats but are still trying
- Comment on What was the internet like before Y2K happened ? 1 week ago:
This is true.
It originally came as an email attachment.
Windows was wide open and the attachment would run a script to turn your volume to full blast and disable your ability to turn it off.
That song was considered so cringy but it would blast the entire office from your cube and you couldn’t stop it.

- Comment on What should we actually turn our aggression towards? 3 months ago:
Without chemical companies, the modern world wouldn’t exist.
It’s easier to say OK let’s go back to the Stone Age but who’s going to pick the 6 billion people that have to die so we can do that because there’s no way that subsistence agriculture can keep 9 billion people alive.
Sure, there have been plenty of evil people who work for chemical companies have done evil things.
But no more than the evil bankers that allow cities to exist, and they are high density, housing, and sidewalks that everybody loves.
This is just sentiments of a child who doesn’t understand the world they live in.

I keep hearing how Claude is so much better and I need to try it. Furthermore, last night I had an AI Expert spend an hour telling me how Claude could just do things by itself and how great it is.
So I paid the money got Claude. I gave it a task to summarize a bunch of press releases and put them into a newsletter. After spending a lot of time getting the formatting, perfect I went to fact check what had been written.
About a third of it was totally hallucinated
This was today
All it had to do was read press releases and make a summary and it couldn’t do that without hallucinating a bunch of fake DEI facts that just weren’t true
So I tried to give it the task of verifying all of its declared statements and it ran out of juice so I have to wait till it resets.

I grew up in an Italian community where peacocks and peahens were commonly raised for food - exactly like chickens are now raised by hipsters.
