I agree. I just wish others in my company did.
It’s hard to be the one not doing it when C Level people are demanding that you do everything through Claude code first and fall back if you can’t get it to work.
Don’t get me wrong, I know that a large part of this is me holding it wrong
I don’t think it is. I think LLMs have hard limits that people refuse to accept.
You get walls?
I’m shocked he took it down to be honest.
Whelp that’s fair lmao. I should check those more often.
I wonder if this is like the Boris Johnson strategy. Where you do something ridiculous so you can hijack SEO to point to the stupid thing.
Which makes me wonder what Obama story with Trump was coming up.
Coming out against the billionaire tax in California also doesn’t help.
They also could just be new…
When they raided Chicago ICE specifically stayed away from the really bad parts because they didn’t wanna get shot.
Estrangement FTW
Why do I have a feeling it’s gonna go like this?
No Twilight Princess? That was the reason everyone bought one at launch lol
I mean astroturfing reddit was never new. It’s why /r/HailCorporate existed and tools tried to disenfranchise that sub so much.
It’s just 10 times worse because of the phenomenon you described. It also doesn’t help that reddit and walled garden social media killed traditional forums so you don’t have those to index anymore either. You either have SEO garbage sites trying to bombard you with ads and referral links, links to a walled garden you can’t actually see, or reddit posts.
It’s a cycle that’s bound to repeat, especially with AI. Because that’s how MBAs and snake oil salesmen get money, by ruining communal spaces.
“Why can’t I get insurance for hauling away children from their mothers???”
You can tell they were having fun with this review
The “film” is part propaganda, sure, and part sop to Big Tech companies who require constant regulatory approval for financial manoeuvrings. Even then, it is bad. It will exist as a striking artefact – like The Birth of a Nation or Triumph of the Will – of a time when Americans willingly subordinated themselves to a political and economic oligopoly. Organising plans for his return to the White House at 2am, after the Starlight Ball, Trump announces he will immediately “begin straightening out the nation”. “We’re all very grateful,” his event producer whimpers sycophantically. It is a visceral moment where audiences, around the world, will begin to taste the boot that the American establishment so blithely licks.
I don’t see this as MTG being a good guy.
I see this as MAGA eating itself. And I’m here for that.
How much do fake user ratings go for nowadays?
Given that numerous people, not just me, misunderstood your intent I’m gonna go with that purpose was not well communicated.
If Netflix paid $75 million for a worldwide theatrical release of that documentary that would be an apt comparison.
They did not and it is not.
TL;DR it’s a way of indicating VP level positions at Amazon. It’s someone really high up the chain. To put in perspective Andy Jassy is an L12.
Longer answer. At Amazon every position has a level. I was a software engineer so that’s what I’ll speak to here but these apply to non engineering positions as well.
L1-3 are non engineering positions.
L4 is junior engineer
L5 is mid-senior IC (individual contributor) and the lowest rung for Engineering management.
L6 is Senior IC and middle rung for managers.
L7 is Principal engineer and Senior Manager. For context only about 1-2% of the company ever get this high.
L8 is Senior principal and Director level management.
L9 you skip because that was Bezos’ level and everyone just doesn’t use it.
L10 are VP level management. You occasionally get an IC this high when Amazon wants to poach talent from another company but generally this is reserved for management.
And for advertising so that they can bucket you accordingly.
Gotta juice the B2B spigot for the upcoming IPO
