How come some 25yo person is a director at Facebook?
I mean, even if she is a child prodigy genius, which she obviously is not as she is face first fist deep into AI, how the frack do you have even enough life experience to become a director of any large organization at that age unless you somehow cheated your way in?
Then reading the hat she's doing and how she resolved it tells me she doesn't know shit about computers, she just know how to type commands into AI systems
Is this the future? Am I going to end up being one of those long bearded magicians that still know the old technology, that still can still save the day by using shell commands?
Don't American companies give a loooot of people director or executive director titles just because it sounds impressive? In roles where you gotta talk to corporate customers at least
In American banking companies, Vice President is usually the first promotion you get.
More like the long bearded homeless guy because you aren't sycophantic enough to get hired by these fuck ass companies
They need to have some kind of AI safety team, as a fig leaf. But they don't don't want it to slow them down so they make sure it's incompetent and ineffective.
Just a theory.
Maybe she has met the Suckerberg at some time when she was ... younger?
This reminds me of my 25-year-old coworker who was laid off recently. I once had to take him to pickup a scuba suit from Enterprise after he'd forgotten it in the trunk, and about a month later, his bicycle from police impound after he'd chained it to some random businesses door one evening and forgot to come back and get it for several days. He'd also go out late every night and then regularly fall asleep at his desk.
He's a great guy but I can't imagine how someone that age becomes director of anything let alone one at a conpany with 75k employees and a market cap of $1.6T.
