[@FreakyStyleytobby]

Great interview and discussion from both of you, thanks!

[@GNARGNARHEAD]

his enthusiasm is contagious 😄

[@mirobucko]

He seems to have a good mental framework for thinking about things, especially given his age.

Congratulations to Sonya, for sharing this interview and congratulations to Eric for this magnificent work... and How do I show a work that I cannot be willing to do in a problematic country like Brazil, where the legal system is so corrupt that I cannot have the freedom to produce to the point of exhibiting without ending up being robbed almost immediately, I have a project practically ready, and my MVP just needs to be in a geography where I can find security and investment to be able to scale..😅

He is smart, the company not very impressed with, they are either disingenuous in looking for people or they are using really terrible HR people. Either way it spells disaster for the company the VCs may get some money out, but this guy's reputation won't recover, but he will have made tons of money by then, so I hope he will be aright and continue working and building his ideas.

Hey! Who was the terrible HR experience with? I'm sorry you had this bad experience! We worked with a few external recruiters for a while and that was a huge disaster. Or did you mean internal HR?

Huh, what about continuous learning?

[@-mwolf]

You can probably automate 90% of coding tasks without it, but for (efficient) AI scientists, it will be necessary.

Idk dude is obviously smart but seems a bit too aware of it

2yrs and no product demo. Sequoia is not gonna get their investment back. How to turn your mediocre paper into a scamming career 101.

Unfortunately, I am prone to agree with you.
