    “Technologist” is a hell of a glaze for this douchebag.

    He’s a child that thought AI was magic and could fix everything being taken advantage of by the worlds richest man to tear down necessary functions of the government.

    He doesn’t have the life experience to realize how awful his choices have been. He has two paths ahead of him. He can either double down and make money continuing his grift with people politically aligned with the horrible project he aided. Or he can try to learn and grow and somehow come to grips with the shame of what he’s done.

      He’s not going to learn and grow when they’ve elevated his positions and, therefore, his ego and sense of importance. People talk about empathy, but having a high EQ is not as easy as people make it out to be. The average human does not have the intelligence to understand the hardships of others without ever having experienced those hardships themselves.

        It’ll be interesting to see who wants to hire this guy going forward, who wants to work with him.

        I’ve worked in startups for about 20 years, I can’t imagine him being very welcome at one of those.

        In any of the larger tech giants I imagine he’s going to run into plenty of engineers that don’t want a thing to do with him.

        I imagine he’d be welcome at the right wing tech dumpsters that shit out things like truth social.

        The thing is after this “high” I would think he would be insufferable even to those that could stand his politics, I can’t imagine going from riding high thinking you could rewrite the social security office with AI to doing your weekly standup about how many sprint points you accomplished on that bug that keeps showing “No Truths” under trump every time there’s a surge in traffic.

        There’s a reason so many child stars crash out. Reaching those heights, being told you are some sort of wunderkind that early in life doesn’t set you up for success.

        He may have to learn humility and grow through sheer necessity.

    Balls are actually weak and sensitive, if you wanna be tough you gotta be a vagina, those things can take a pounding.
