Amazon trying to rehire people it laid off lol (Blind)

• pknbgt (ex-Google): After getting laid off from Google, my ex-boss wants me back at Google. In his dreams 🤣😂🤣😂
• Anonymovic (Amazon): In my team we laid off one L5 to almost immediately fill the position with another L5 (external hire). Makes no sense to me, lost a person with multi-year context and ops experience to a newbie.
• Layoffzon (Amazon): A recruiter reached out to me for L6(same) position. Life has been great for the past 6 months… I’m getting my work done with 40% effort compared to my days at AWS, no pages, not doing any PM work as there is a dedicated PM, no RTO (fully remote). Took a 30% pay cut on TC but Mental Health +++. Fuck Amazon!

I’m a reverse software engineer (Blind)

• ITqF35 (Adobe): Story of my whole career even before AI…
• grok8899 (Walmart): Seems like this is a new Avatar of Quality Analysts aka QA
• pqs888 (Broadcom): True. Many software companies have a lot of bloat and either it has to be cleaned up or simplified. I do same. Possibly it was added because of legacy architecture and no one bothered to change

Elon wasn’t joking, data centers in space is happening (Blind)

• rm -fr * (Anduril): how do you cool data centers in space? how do you transfer the heat?
• pwdsales (Salesforce): I don’t think Elon is wrong about wanting to do this, I just thought his timelines sounded super optimistic
• blindly__ (Airbnb): Lol even the Google article is like “we have no practical application in mind for this yet, idek why we’re doing it tbh” how exciting

Being early to the Singularity won’t give you personally any sort of long-run personal advantages. Use your current advantages well. (r/singularity)

• lil_peasant_69: Yeah I mean, I know the project I’m doing with Codex that I have spent 100+ hrs on would’ve taken me 5000+ hrs a few years prior, I also know that soon enough, anyone will be able to do similar in one prompt. And that’s okay.
• Separate-Ad-9633: Better start this AI phishing fraud campaign now to purchase your doomsday bunker in Argentina for the 2030 social riot and the one way ticket to Mars colony for the 2035 AI rebellion!
• NervousAd1013: The advantage people have at the moment isn’t in the process of using AI, it’s in the judgement and skills that AI doesn’t have yet in that field. But it can kinda be a different way of thinking for how to work and collaborate in an AI centric environment.

How did the Chinese labs catch up so fast if most of the early training work was in the US? (r/artificial)

• BarnacleBasic1988: US data labs are selling out our country to make a quick buck selling them training data. They are actively working against the US maintaining a lead in the race
• loudgodbolt: Mostly distillation on US model but American data labs have been ramping up selling training data overseas to anyone with money. Concerning considering the top labs also have contracts with the US gov
• Fun-Astronomer5311: Apart from distillation, there is also a huge STEM workforce. In the USA, there are comparatively fewer 10x engineers that it can throw at a problem. Also, instead of 10x engineers, China has many more 5x engineers say that together make up for any shortfall. Similarly, they may not have (or not many) latest GPUs, they make good use of older GPUs just by being resourceful.
