I don’t like nonsense PR stories or myths about people’s extraordinary prowess.
I just respond badly to BS and these statement have obvious BS if you stop for even a second to think about them.
On some level too, it offends me when I see right minded intelligent people in my community lapping it up.
So a couple of things.
Say I were to tell you that he was the President of openAI but he also did 80 hours of janitorial work per week.
Would you say that was a good use of his time?
Would you say that maybe he should be spending his time on being president of the company and not mopping up? You would be right.
Now substitute programming for janitorial work.
Now be a little more critical about things you see online.
