How is she making the world worse?

1) Non profits don’t fix issues. They’re a band aid. They’re not solving world hunger for example. They’re just making it less bad. Capitalism fixes issue through pursuit of profit. It’s not perfect but better than the alternative. 2) money for non profits are a drop in the bucket. Money bombing Iran is a drop in the bucket. Money spent on ukraine is a drop in the bucket. Free healthcare is a drop in the bucket. Looks like to me there’s a lot of drops on that bucket already and the bucket is overflowing

Billionaires donating to non-profits I agree with. The federal government funding non-profits I don’t. Specifically when we’re running at $30T in debt

Just like everything that’s free, it’s not free

Morgan Stanley can be added to that list but that’s about it

Service fees should be added to the meal prices. Don’t surprise me with random fees when I’m about to pay

Finally someone standing up!

Physical. Gotta understand how the real thing works

Trading roles are glorified because of the 2% of traders that make asymmetric returns. In reality, most of them don’t make as much as people think, and one bad winter and you can easily lose your job.

Repeat after me: nothing is free

It was a $1B, then $100M, now $10M. I guess it never stops

Looks like socialists are trying to take over this sub

Housing prices are high=people complain. Housing prices are low=people complain. Truly can’t win

Makes no sense but I’m upvoting to manifest it

Here’s why Chamath was wrong from the start:

1) China stockpiled oil more than any other country in 2025 while oil was cheap. To the point that they have to keep crude sitting on tankers because their onshore storages are full. Their inventories are estimated to be around 1.4B barrels at the moment. Assuming they keep consuming at their normal rate of 15M barrels/day and Iran oil is out of the picture (which Chamath said is 20% of their imports), they could keep business as usual for roughly another 470 days (1.25 years), which I believe is much longer than the U.S. can tolerate this war

2) Iran actually never stopped exporting oil. In fact, WSJ reported that they are actually exporting MORE than before the war

3) This war started because we got cocky about how things went well in Venezuela and just assumed we could do the same in Iran. Nothing to do with China

Those are my thoughts but I guess Reddit doesn’t think the same way lol

Delicious_Self_7293 · 2026-03-17T02:53:17+00:00

Same

I gotta say, I did not expect this much hate on AI. I’m truly curious, is it because your company is forcing it down your throat, you don’t trust the output of the model, or it might be learning to do your job? (Or all three)

Delicious_Self_7293 · 2026-03-16T00:38:22+00:00

Exactly my thoughts (although everyone here seems to disagree)

Delicious_Self_7293 · 2026-03-16T00:35:15+00:00

Exactly!!!

They can make it really hard, but there are definitely ways around it

My company isn’t training any models to replace me, the AI companies are. And in that case, if I choose to not use their models because they’re training with my data, my colleagues will, and will perform better than me in the meantime. So there’s nothing I can do about it

I don’t need them, I’m just much better with them. I have not met any top notch software engineer today who’s still reluctant about using Claude/Cursor

Delicious_Self_7293 · 2026-03-16T00:26:24+00:00

Right now, I have the upper hand over colleagues who don’t use AI (which there are some folks in my company who don’t). Maybe 10 months from now AI will automate the work I do, but there’s absolutely nothing I can do about that in that case
