oh to be clear I mourn the career I had too. I take zero joy in the new world we live in.
I've never heard from so many engineers who are considering taking up pottery, wine making, hermit-living, etc.

just curious have you got data for how much AI is being subsidized? The last thing I saw (think it was Dylan Patel) was saying they are all positive margins on the deployed compute - the only negative was the huge capex for new data centers?

Do people actually think when the AI bubble pops (it’s a when for me, not an if) all the AI will just go away?
Like the dotcom bubble before I think this is for certain a sea change and our industry (and probably many more to come) is never going to be the same again.

This is a shit on top of an already heavily laden shit sandwich.

Before starting paternity leave: “I’ll get so much stuff done with my two months off!”.
Currently two weeks into paternity leave: “I’m so happy I managed to get dressed AND showered today!”.

took him for a run cause he gets this feral energy after a cluster like this. Hopefully he’ll sleep deeply now and be calm 🤞
