OpenAI exec highlights the rising importance of AI compute in tech job compensation.
In other news, Roblox executive thinks that having companies pay employees partly in Robux would be a great idea.
It’s a really dumb way to frame what the OpenAI people actually said on this - they are saying that the people applying to them want to know how many tokens they can use as a tool to accomplish the job they are applying for. There’s a fundamental difference to compensation here to compensation, where tokens as compensation would be how many tokens the people applying for the job would be able to utilize for their own purposes, whatever they may be.
To illustrate - I would probably be reluctant to work for a company which would not be willing to spend the amount of money that would get me a more or less top of the line computer with which to perform my job. Not because I consider my company-provided development machine as a part of my compensation - it is merely a tool I use for my job.
The people applying for these jobs are the kinds of people who think that burning an exorbitant amount of tokens will make them quite significantly more productive, so the metaphor of having the best tools available to accomplish the task at hand extends here, in accordance with their belief system.
There’s then the quote from the VC ghouls, but I don’t think anyone could accuse them of being competent to any significant degree, so their quotes are most appropriately used as toilet paper.
“Random bullshit Go!” meme…
They’ve finally proven that ALL they care-about is preventing integrity from having any root in any economy they’re infesting, & that ANYTHING that displaces correct-view is worth pushing, to prevent correct-view.
That changes the framing, in my eyes:
That means that it isn’t what they’re pushing that is The Problem: they’re simply too machiavellian to bother negotiating with.
THEY are the problem.
I’d want private-investigators on them, & I’d want a good war-chest for prosecuting them, once their corruption’s evidence was unearthed, enough.
People THAT anti-integrity consistently create evidence of their corruption.
The state won’t prosecute them ( big herds ONLY respect big herds, & corporations are herds, which is why when accountability threatens, they simply “dissipate”, and … “nobody is responsible!” … same as herds ), so activist-groups are going to have to do it.
Totally different framing.

Mate, I don’t want to be mean or give unsolicited advice, but I do want to help.
Your comment is well meant and I kind of get what you want to say, but it’s so hard to follow. It shows signs of incoherence and hyperassociativity. You’ve also written hundreds of lines of comments in the past few hours and they are all in a similar style. This might just be your style, but it is often a sign of schizophrenia, psychosis or mania.
I really hope you will talk to a doctor about this, or at least a family member or friend that you can confide in.
Thanks, but the medical-gaslighting my life was subjected to, is done.
Absolute-healing or death, not their gaslighting “help”.
I find it nearly-impossible to translate complex thoughtshapes into linear-English, & there is no language for expressing thoughshapes themselves.
Also, having survived literal brain-decimation ( 1970’s-1980’s, epigenetic-disorder ) force-fighting my remaining-brain to work is also exhausting.
I’d rather evolve & die-alone than compromise my life the way your desired “help” of me, would molest my life again.
You probably don’t have the decades of experience with being as-forced-as-possible to just drug myself into being an acceptable psychiatric-zombie,
instead of forcing my brain to improve.
I spent literally years much-of-the-time-catatonic with brain-injury, & they wanted me warehoused & on-drugs for the rest of my life.
Fuck that shit.
Feel free to terminate my life, if my life, itself, its-own-way, offends you, though…
Not that I expect you, whom I’m replying-to, would,
but all the people who find “me”/my-life unacceptable/intolerable …
… honest breaking my life, instead of trying to enforce drugged “living”, being animate-but-not-ALIVE…
…would be more authentic, more honest.
& if anybody ever does smash my life to smithereens, no matter what reason they had for doing it, I don’t want them prosecuted for ANYthing.
Because it’d be honest.
& honesty is something that this-world has nearly-none of.
Doctors doing all they can to enforce drugged-zombie condition on a life because brain-healing “isn’t real: belief in brain-healing is itself mental-illness!”
Go read Dr. Norman Doidge’s books, & see that brain-healing’s real.
Better to die clean, than to “live”, drugged, for the “mental illness” of having a literally-decimated brain.
Brain-injury is brain-injury, not “illness-of-mind”.
So, while you mean well,
I’d rather you axe-murder my-life, than drug me the way they drugged me, because honest condition is better, for me.
Cheers.

If this is what makes you happy, be my guest. But I can’t imagine that where you are now is a good place: living with thoughts that are incomprehensible and impossible to put into words, not to mention the hate, fear and paranoia.
There are more medications than the ones that make you feel like a zombie and there are better doctors out there who provide helpful cognitive behaviourial therapy instead of just pills.
