Are you fucking kidding me?

OK. OK. I’ve said this my whole career.

Engineers are the most emotional specie of worker. There is a grand delusion that engineers are rational.

This just goes to show how irrational they are. Snap reactions like this: sign of a brilliant but fucked up engineer.

I am an engineer. I am under no illusion that I’m rational. Quite the opposite.

It wasn't engineers that did this bullshit, it was one scientist, an ethics researcher, an mba, and an art school grad.

Yes, clearly all categories of loathsome lower castes, worthy of your disdain.

VS what, a Stanford dropout who made buds with Paul Graham? That's better and more respectable because he's cooler and connected with YC/VC hipness, right?

WorldCoin is So Awesome!

I'm responding to a post by a self hating engineer that seems to think that this specific debacle was caused by engineers. No, it was caused by non engineers. And while yes, I do have disdain for people that spends thousands to study skills that contribute nothing to their fellow man or woman, I don't think scientist or artist are those things. (Mba and ethicist definitely are mastibatory self important bullshit)

The real reason I disdain the majority of the board of openai is that there are clearly 3 people on the board that have accomplished nothing and are clear trust fund babies.

Thinking about life in such narrow group identities is a failure of imagination in my view.
