Just had an applicant who, when given a leetcode problem, genuinely and wholeheartedly went “yeah so this is the prompt I’d give ChatGPT” when asked how he’d verify gpt’s solution he further went “yeah I mean it can write tests too?”

one of the best parts about having a boss who’s completed their AI PhD 20+ years ago is that almost every conversation abt current ML trends goes >“hey have you heard of xyz” >“yeah you mean that thing from the 90s? Surprised it’s coming back” >“what the fuck”

A lot of people romanticize hustling/grinding and don’t realize that a non-negligible portion of it is disciplining yourself to be okay with being boring and lonely sometimes (oftentimes)
