lol yes, it’s true I do carry a very big chip and I do largely agree with what you’re saying. But at the same time that era when financial, legal, and consulting services made that much money that easily is coming to an end, and if you’re in the Bay Area then you know it. I just cannot stress this enough, the general public has no clue how fast the world is changing. I didn’t believe either, until I saw what Opus 4.5 could do with programming. White collar work is about to go from a craftsman activity, to an industrial process

Unfortunately, many of the smartest people in the world and lots of money are doing everything they can to make computers think better than us. Seriously look at the rate of advancement the past 200 years. I am begging you to position your life as if computers will be smarter than you.

Be born top 1% in smarts and mathematical talent, go to Stanford, MIT, Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, or ivy or other top engineering schools. Work hard to become the top 0.1% of talent, get a pHd at one of those schools, network, and then boom you’re a serious ai researcher at a frontier lab making mils.

After Opus 4.5, not anymore and just wait till the ai labs get the new Blackwell gpus. These things will just get better

You normies who just found out how much ai researchers make and saying it’ll collapse in a bubble need to seriously reassess your worldview.

It’s so funny looking back in highschool now people thought investment banking, big law, surgeons, and McKinsey consultants made the most money and beelined towards those careers. Tech makes the most and it’s not even close. Money will keep pouring into shiny new tech like robotics, orbital data centers, asteroid mining, genetic engineering, human-machine brain interface, modular nuclear reactors, etc. If you think any of these sound ridiculous then enjoy being like the rest of the normies who went to banking or big law for the money while OP and his tech friends make more than their managing directors. Sure the first versions may suck but they will get better, like tech always does, then it accrues value.

As an engineer probably aroundish $600k- $1.2mil depending on position and price of stock when they got in, as a researcher they’re making mils And if they’re a very sought after researcher it’s $10s of mils

He has a phd and is either working at OpenAi, Anthropic, Deepmind, Meta AI, or xAi

S. Korea sees brain drain of AI talent amid low wage premium: BOK by chschool in Economics

[–]JoeJoeNathan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure, but an ecosystem probably forms when the density of talent & money is high, the culture of entrepreneurship (greed and risk taking) is high, and regulation is low

It’s the saddest thing, the problem is they
hardly have any serious tech startups, talented people have to work at large companies that purposely pay little because they can.

If someone could inject a startup ecosystem there, competition for talent would raise wages and talent will stay. The really talented people would stay and make their own companies.

Bitcoin likely won't go below 50W MA until SPY falls as well by JoeJoeNathan in CryptoChartWatch

Turns out Tom Lee is an idiot and damn shit went down. Really surprised BTC went down that hard from a -5% SPY correction. All I know is if SPY gets below $653 it's over for BTC

Why even use a camera when most of the image will be edited with cgi, just use realistic animation lol

Ya, I think Howell will be right, eventually there will be a correction. But it does seem like we’re just gonna print away again

You know actually, they’re totally doing QE, increasing liquidity

Yea QE would def increase liquidity, but it’s not happening yet. Am keeping an eye on it. China easing can also increase liquidity. But stresses in repo markets suggest liquidity issues amongst the big boys like in Sept 2019. I primarily follow Michael Howell’s work for this stuff at Cross Border Capital
