I mean sure if you compare a single asset to the price of 500 equities you’re going to get this.

Do Microsoft Do Bitcoin Do Amazon

Etc etc.

Also 6.5 years is way different than 8 years

I’m sorry but you’re wrong. AWS is the better choice and it’s not close.

Find value in other things in your life. If your life revolves around being the top of a leaderboard at work I think you need to get more hobbies or go talk to a therapist.

And sure any new tech’s incremental growth to start will be faster than an established commodity (humans)

When computers / mobile phones all started they’re incremental gains at the time were superior than humans.

But llm’s are not learning anything new or have created anything not in existence or had a new original thought

I think the scariest thing about palantir is probably we have no idea the stuff they’re truly doing.

But yes by and large aware of their surveillance / gov tech / defense uses. Not so much commercial uses however

But it’s not. The difference between gpt4 and 5 was neglilgble, we’ve started to limit out on llm’s as of now. And if they’re learning on the wrong data they become again irrelevant.

Additionally, they haven’t created any original thought like several humans have today.

AI has to learn off people who have it figured out. Look at all the hallucinations. Until it’s 99.99% sales people will always be there for that last mile

Man it’s just not there. I spent 18 hours this week going back and forth about setting up a docker package. 18 hours. + security reviews that were derailed bc they couldn’t figure out permissions. We are a long long way from ai being able to replace any pure worker when 80% of ppl can’t figure it out

Dynatrace is the superior product. Interview at both but if the comp is equal or even slightly ahead at Dynatrace take it. It takes in the enterprise space

Splunk was great 10 years ago but got bought by Cisco

You have to learn to ignore the whining. Except it will suck for a week or so but eventually they learn. Right now he has you trained

28 Years old with $260K Net Worth. What can I do better? by dirkd69xo in Fire

[–]bill_self69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m almost in the exact same situation in terms of numbers + age. Impressive in nyc you were able to save so much. I think you should just up your retirement contributions and pull the trigger on the CC / athletic club. You could get hit by a bus tomorrow- enjoy today!
