If a good leader is somebody who consistently sets a good example, and is willing to sacrifice personally for their team, I don't think there are very many out there. The problem is that companies still need "leaders" the same way TV stations need programming.

If an company decides to invest some money in the pursuit of an opportunity, some managers might get hired or promoted, and the company isn't going to scour the earth for genuinely good leaders. They'll post a job, take a few interviews then promote the person who was going to get it anyway, or hire somebody who looks the part. Generally, one shouldn't take middle-managers seriously.


Managers are what they are, independently from their position on the ladder.

You can have a shitty or wonderful VP, same for the n+5 manager of 2 people down the pyramid. Position rarely defines leadership or setting or not good example.


given how often these llms are wrong, doesnt it make sense that they are less confident?


Indeed. But I've had experiences with gemini-2.5-pro-exp where its thoughts could be described as "rejected from the prom" vibes. It's not like I abused it either, it was running into loops because it was unable to properly patch a file.

so, new undiscovered vulnerabilities


> how to be a leader: total and complete capitulation while you wait for it to blow over

yep. that's leadership.


I don't know if it's fair to call this a dead-internet thing. Most comments on social media are nothing or misdirection. You might say "well that's easy if you're paying for fake activity from bots" but I've seen plenty of real people have transactional, nothing-exchanges in real life. I mean, the internet isn't the only place where people are fake/lazy.


The author assumes that he's talking to legitimate vote-riggers, and not just people who will screenshot successful posts, say it was their doing, pocket his money and block him.


supjeff, the author has screenshots of linkedin convos transacting with other businesses. there are also actual users on the product hunt site. the grift is real, and not just on LinkedIn.


AGI answer: "Individual people must change their habits"


Maybe it'll be "There is as yet insufficient data for a meaningful answer".


I feel like there was a lot of nonsense ideas for what is such a short, and supposedly journalistically rigorous article


The Hill stays afloat by laundering political operative and rat-fucking articles. Politico to a lesser extent, but similar. Read those two sites with suspicion. Always.


Looking at your post comment history, you've posted the same roles since June, and had a 60 person team for 3 months. Why are you posting if you're not hiring?


If I were to guess, they are probably low-balling people. A range of €60k-100k looks suspicious already.

I’ve seen this in the past only to be hit with “here’s an offer of 70k” after passing every step of the interview. Oh it’s within the range!!


It looks like you copy/pasted this from the post you made in last month's thread. You're still hiring for the same positions? Are you actually hiring? Why haven't you filled any of these roles? Why are you posting if you're not actually hiring?
