IMO a large part of the reason people are struggling and strung out is because they don't take the time to get right answers, but rather stumble from thing to thing declaring good enough. This accumulates technical debt that inevitably comes calling some time down the line. So while I'm a quite understanding person in general, I'm not going to have much grace or sympathy when someone is trying to offload their own stress onto me by shortchanging an interaction. And I'm not talking like I give them one strike and they're out, but rather being patient, attempting to engage about the subject matter, and just getting persistently rebuffed.
replyThe same exact people who the person before you is begging for empathy/forgiveness for are also MASSIVE gatekeepers who are BIG MAD about rapid AI progress. I have negative empathy and what I would call "extreme prejudice" for these roaches. I claim trying to shed even a single tear for this ilk is justification for all hierarchy in the world, namely, one of the worst called "Meritocracy".
replyMost don't realize that "Meritocracy" was coined and popularized as a slur and was meant to be a dystopian concept.
