The how-to-become-a-gardener meme comes to mind. But I feel you. Feels like a golden cage currently. It's very comfy, but you waste your life in front of screen.
I am banned from the tech industry circles for picking fights with Elon Musk. Got kicked out of everyone's discord server. I just want you all to know that I have nothing against you or yhe tech industry. It's just that I have been working in machine-learning for the past decade and even I know a pure computer-vision approach is a bad idea. FSD is worse than OceanGate. There were kids in those cars and they never could drive themselves. Especially on older hardware.
I started keeping track of the cases of vehicles steering into trees and poles and other things and lost my temper and went on a rampage that lasted like 4 years, until the people woke up and started raging too. They set his cars on fire and stuff and I was like "OK, we can calm down now", but they keep going at it, and ok. I can stop fighting now.
My company published a report on complaints filed by customers that has been shared with universities, lawyers, and news outlets around the US.
I once looked up to you. I thought you were cool and had humanities best interest. You inspired me to get into Ai and machine-learning about a decade ago. I have been doing it since then.
But things have changed, and I learned you lack the expertise to lead in this industry. I learned that you do not have our best interest. Parents buy your cars for their teenagers. For whatever reason, you did not age restrict FSD. We don't even let teenagers use calculators on parts of the SAT. But you... don't know what you are doing.
TechnoKing,
I am here to give you a chance to prove me wrong. Accept my challenge.
A duel. On Kaggle.
I will let you use the Dojo supercomputer. I will take you on with a ROG Ally. If you beat me, I will bend the knee.
But if you lose, you must move your rocket. That is my favorite beach, you see. Have been fishing there since I was a child.
TechnoKing, I am the King born from the woman dressed with the sun, with the moon at her feet, and twelve stars in her crown. The Rio Grande Valley is not big enough for two kings.
Don't worry about it. I recommend not working for Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, or any major tech company. You are disposable at these companies. Rather than take one for the team and put back some of their ridiculous salaries, they'll throw you off the boat and gaslight you to believe you are just inadequate.
Nay. I found education, healthcare, and other industries that are not tech focused to be much more rewarding. You are the expert in those industries and are given a chance to lead.
I build ML for healthcare orgs. Different things. An immunology prize needed a model to filter out applicants because they were overloaded. A nurse staffing agency wanted to measure burnout in nurses using the data they had. A speech therapy provider. A school district. And on and on.
I'd rather work for them than bend the knee to Tesla's Technoking.
Actually, there's a rumor that if you punch the world's richest man in the face, his wealth rubs off on you. You will spend some time in jail, but you will be rewarded. Make sure they catch it on camera.
I agree. I used to live high class. Then the Mafia came at me. I learned to lay low and appreciate poverty. Also, my ex and I bought a house, but then a richer man came and she kicked me out on Valentine's day. Now I despise wealth and luxury and now date only women at the flea market, cashiers and walmart stockers. Highly recommend. The devil wears Prada.
I feel you. Used to work 16 hours a day. I quit my job and started freelancing. These days, I only commit 20 hours a week to work. Still make enough to pay my bills and live a little, but I won't be getting a boat anytime soon. But with that extra time, I go to the gym, play video games, or blast the neighborhood using my brand spanking new Eric Clapton Pewder Strat.
I have 15 years in data, and 10 years in machine-learning. Back in 2016, I couldn't find a job doing machine-learning. These days, I don't worry anymore about finding work. Things have improved.
