"I find it both astounding yet also entirely expected that we are now years into the AI bubble and everything coming out of it still looks like complete shit. And will continue to do so: these companies can iterate and tweak all they want, tell us this is the future for as long as they want and and they'll never learn, because the things they're making are without any kind of soul or spark, and so will always look like shit."

Der Pitch ist klar und sollte uns warnen:
"Egal, ob du neu im Bereich des effektiven Altruismus bist und Lust hast, vielversprechende Karrierewege zu erkunden"

Effective Altruism hat viel viel Geld und nutzt das auch in Deutschland aggressiv zum Lobbying. Wir müssen aufpassen, diese Leute insbesondere aus linken Bubbles rauszuhalten (die Libs sind eh lost)
