So glad we can finally notice this! :)

You don't think they can write or create images/music/video? If you are being seriously, you should try some of them out - they are incredibly capable now.

Yeah, they can technically create those three things. They are in no way up to par if you have a single bit of artistic taste.

I think their question is whether it's replaced work in industries focused on that - AI movies becoming popular and very profitable, AI written books selling large numbers etc

Very possibly on the way but so less uptake than software engineering for sure.


It's on the verge of that. If I open X then quite a few posts in the feed will be AI generated music videos right now, and for some reason people doing gender swap fanfics of Draco[nia] Malfoy/Harry Potter romances. People are finding them entertaining.

Ahh, got it. Even if it not a fully AI generated movie or book, I'm sure it is common for people in those industries to use AI.

I literally just said AI's can also create images/music/ and video/ trust me i've seen the dogshit they produce

Even the best ones really aren't very good at this yet.

The volume on this seemed so low and wouldn't get better even on max on my MacBook Air M5. Hoping it isn't my ears lol

Do you call it Facebook or Meta?


Depends on the context and who I'm talking to. That one makes a bit more sense because it is renaming the overarching company to separate itself from one of their products that is declining in popularity in some circle. It isn't unusual that people outside tech forget WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram are all the same company.


Facebook. I'm _kind_ of surprised they haven't changed it back yet, tbh; it is quite weird that the company is named after a failed product.

Brand name changes actually quite rarely take, in the long term. No point being over-eager to adopt them.


Do I call what Facebook or Meta? You are talking about two separate things.


Facebook. But Meta is slowly creeping in. Renaming a popular term takes years or decades.


Not OP but I do still call it Facebook.


Faecebook



but doesn't his karma farming count for something?


The LLMs actually do a better job compared to humans.. and it will only continue to improve

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm not sure what the pivot is.


wouldn't they do that at the time of the surgery as opposed to finishing one surgery and then doing it all over again later?


A final comprehensive pathology report can take a week or more.


what?


lol, what really happened at this non-profit? do they share their funding and operating expenses?

The “president and ceo” is bringing in over $500K a year.

Total nonsense.


500k to the CEO of an organization bringing in $25m/yr in revenue isn't that crazy.

In hindsight, it doesn't look like they did a great job running it, but the comp package doesn't seem crazy at that scale.


For comparison, the CEO of the wikimedia foundation (wikipedia) makes 520K in an organization that brings in roughly 190 million per year.

I dont really know what is normal for these types of things.


I suspect that when it comes to CEO pay "normal" might be very far from "reasonable"


I would think "reasonable" is more about pay equity than pay scale. As in a CEO shouldn't be making like three times more than their direct inferiors, for example.


Would you say the captain of the ship brought $500K of value to the team? $25M/yr in revenue is very different when it comes from charity and memberships as opposed to building and selling something.


I have no idea if this person brought 500k of incremental value to the org, they could have been actively destructive, but they certainly have enough leverage to easily pay for themselves many times over.

Often in nonprofits, the person in charge is mostly an exceptional fundraiser and so their contributions are easily visible in that realm. The corollary to that is they are often a bad manager of the org.


> Often in nonprofits, the person in charge is mostly an exceptional fundraiser and so their contributions are easily visible in that realm. The corollary to that is they are often a bad manager of the org.

Well in this case, going off of their public message, we can safely assume: (1) not a very good fundraiser (2) not a very good organizer


while not crazy, it can still be in excess, would $250k been insufficient to make ends meet? I'd be curious to know who decided that was the appropriate compensation


Nothing in that budget makes sense. 2.39m executive compensation? 7.4m wages? -14m net income with 23m total assets?


> Total nonsense.

Isn't that the entire point of foundations and non-profits? Massive salaries for their EDs.


Foundations yes. Not most nonprofits. The vast majority of nonprofits are tiny mission driven orgs that pay nearly or actually nothing.


You haven't seen San Francisco non-profits. There's a web of them controlled by the same gang of people who are taking in billions from the state and the city.


That's why I said "most".

Scammy nonprofits exist.

For every one of the ones you describe, there are a hundred other 501c3s you never hear of run by unpaid passionate people and with an annual budget under $20k.
