Corporate treason has been not only legal, but encouraged for hundreds of years. This is not new, nor will it be addressed.

Oh gods, not the “Think of the blind coders” just stop. Stop using the disabled as a meat-shield for reckless foolishness.

That’s the ones. The actual progressive/left party are the NDP party up here. Canadian conservatives used to be much closer to the centre, but they fell quick under the onslaught of American propaganda recently. Liberals are the ones who don’t care what you do in the bedroom as long as their donors are making money. NDP are the tiny voice of the people who think the Epstein class needs to go, and wearing rainbow socks doesn’t make them “One of the good ones.”

People need to flood this guy’s mail with angry letters. No not emails, they’ll block those. This legislation needs to be stopped.

That’s one of the most humble CEOs I’ve ever heard of. Most will spin you a yarn a mile long about how all their success was their own brilliant strategy. Their survivorship bias regarding all the ones that were just as capable and worked just as hard, but never got their shot or were effectively given a field promotion to captain of a sinking ship is wild. Their self-awareness, and recognition of the field of corpses they happen to be the last-man-standing in frequently seems to be lacking.

And as for the parasites in the boardroom, the decision to move executive compensation packages to stock options instead of a salary decades ago had consequences I don’t think the Old Money folks fully respected. How the parasites came to control that grade of F.U. money is not trivial.

I’ve worked for quite a few major companies now, and the one thing that always gets me is the top brass always think they have magical intuition about people. That’s how they justify it, both to themselves and to others based on what I see. The ones they’re promoting are the ones they think are just smart enough to keep the wheels running. What they actually are are just straight up idiots who are very good at taking credit, and deflecting blame, and have no other notable talent. And then they just keep failing upward, leaving a wake of failure that is always someone else’s fault or “valuable lessons” that didn’t have to be learned the hard way if they were actually capable of thinking critically.

These people don’t “Fake it 'till they make it” they just fake it, and keep faking it, because they have no idea what they’re doing, but they’re a much more successful predator than their peers as they cannibalize the company from within. And then these parasites make it to the boardroom and any chance to slow them down vanishes. I’ve seen it play out exactly like that a dozen times, at promising startups, and venerable old-guard corporations, Fortune 500s and corner stores.

I mean no disrespect to Carl, but he has a very generous take on how we got here. I’m sure it’s happened that way somewhere, but how common is it really? I’m more inclined to believe people are more easily suckered by confident incompetence than they like to believe.

I just want to be clear, most CEOs aren’t smart. They have a slightly higher median intelligence than the wider population, but by and large CEOs are no more talented than your average used car salesman. While there’s certainly outliers (on both sides), most intelligent people don’t start careers in a field with an 80%+ chance of failure in the first 5 years. Altman’s success in particular is 50% luck, 50% being a very convincing liar. These people aren’t geniuses, they pay people to think for them, which is why having a machine think for them sounds like a great idea.
