> The winners begin to think there success is their own doing, forgetting the luck, good fortune, and many people who helped them along the way. They grow arrogant and full of hubris, looking down on and belittling others.

This line from the poster. Its been my experience over 30 years.

People stand on the shoulders of giants and bitch about the view

They aren't cutting staff because they made a ton of money. They are cutting staff because they see trouble on the horizon and are positioning themselves for that. Layoffs are rarely lagging indicators. They are more often predictors of trouble coming. This bubble will explode, MSFT wants to survive it. Thats all there is to it.

Token Ring was always a bad idea, even before IBM screwed it up. Tanium still does this crap and it's awful.

The price hikes drove me back to windows. If I'm paying those prices I may as well be able to play games with my kid again. I see no advantage to using Apple right now outside of the iPhone.

This sounds awful. AI Chatbots will be everywhere Shopify is. I just see a lot of popups in our future with fake names and faces pretending to be people asking us how they can help us.

The oldest supported kernel is 5.10 and that loses support in December. That's wild they are using a 3.X kernel

“There’s no such thing as bad press”

It was "garbage in, garbage out". That's the only conclusion I've been able to draw from all the propaganda around it.

Everyone that will now pick sides. Just wait, I’m already seeing it on Reddit.

This time, until they dont anymore. The next stage is people attacking the mathematicians and accusing them. The OpenAI fans come out to attack, then the masses will pick sides and it all just becomes a mess

Everyones outraged all the time. It doesn't mean anything anymore. It's that meme from years ago about the red ants and the black ants living in a box peacefully until someone shakes the box and they start trying to kill each other. They go after each other and not the one shaking the box.

OpenAI/Anthropic are shaking the box.

That's kinda what I feel like telling him. He has a lot of passion and he's a very smart kid. I don't want to crush that, I want to nurture it. I think being real about things is important though and he has a lot of years still to ultimately decide.

I got him a ChatGPT account with parental controls on it. I'm just hoping he uses it as a tool and not a crutch.
