The point is to show that these are not random business types, but those who come from high class families with connections.

stoly@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Sam Altman’s coworkers say he can barely code and misunderstands basic machine learning concepts2·13 hours agoThat’s how tech works today. Huge capital pumped into useless projects.
stoly@lemmy.worldto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Local hospital wants to make it *really* sure nobody is taking the shortcut to the morgue in the basement...214·20 hours agoThis means that someone jumped, the family sued, and your local nonprofit hospital had to spend money it didn’t have.
I actually did LOL
stoly@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Sam Altman’s coworkers say he can barely code and misunderstands basic machine learning concepts3·20 hours agoBecause when you’re in a small, scrappy tech startup, everyone is expected to contribute. It is only when the company launches and the founding CEO leaves so that a professional CEO can take over that you would not expect them not to have to code.
stoly@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that Sam Altman and Sam Bankman-Fried are two different people!English1·21 hours agoThey don’t fail upwards. They corner the market. You can get your MBA from Wharton and won’t get a job on Wall Street because those are reserved for the friends and family of people in the upper echelons.
Add to it that the BBA and MBA are basically the most useless degrees ever. Sure you can make a nice spreadsheet but can you do something useful to society?

stoly@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump is burning every bridge America had left2·21 hours agoI have long thought that the Civil War was a mistake. We could have rid ourselves of them a long time ago and really been a progressive country. The South would have quickly collapsed and become part of the third world.
stoly@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump is burning every bridge America had left3·21 hours agoSpeaking as someone who is often ashamed to be from the US, I am glad that our global standing is finally dropping like a rock. We have spent a century bullying the rest of the world, but that will not happen anymore. Fortunately, the likely replacements–China and India–seem to be able to think in the longer term and should help create a more stable world.
stoly@lemmy.worldto Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•Lesbians Like Me Joined Forces with Conservatives. Now They’re Turning on Us.English11·21 hours agoWhen people marched in NYC after Stonewall, it was the whole community: LGBTQ. Once the police let off, all of the LGB types abandoned the rest of the community and went back to their well-paying jobs. This author is just like one of these unempathetic sorts.
Is that for one person? I get that there are lots of vegetables, but it seems like a lot of food.

stoly@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Amy Coney Barrett Unraveled the Case Against Birthright Citizenship With One Question8·6 days agoYeah. I seriously find it offensive when people post articles that nobody can read. WSJ and Economist are other such examples.
stoly@lemmy.worldto Autism@lemmy.world•It's unacknowledged how much of civilization operates on "pretend to be working"3·7 days agoI’m into my second professional job and I feel like I’m working in highschool projects where no one actually does any work.
In my experience, most people never develop much past their high school years. They are just sort of stuck as the person they were when they turned 16 or 17. the fact that you are asking these questions means that you are capable of growth. I always recommend getting through college and getting a masters if you can just so that you can work around people who have developed further.

stoly@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Suspension lifted for helicopter pilots who hovered near Kid Rock's home3·8 days agoNo, you were under the impression that you could sow doubt where none is due.
