the shitheadery is probably? due to the author being 19.

I mean sure? Swapping the pointers recursively is also fine. It's a question meant to see if the interviewee can talk about data structures or code, not to come up with a perfectly optimal working solution. Having a lengthy discussion about what "inversion" of a binary tree even means would even be totally fine imo.

I've interviewed a fair number of candidates and I ask them a very simple question with a bunch of edge cases and grade them based on how they talk about it, not the final solution.

I get the feeling that Max got frustrated and wasn't able to coherently speak about the problem, or the interviewer was dumb as rocks. I think both are equally likely.

Dude couldn't invert a binary tree in an interview and so couldn't get a job, allegedly.

how are all of the AI girlfriend services doing? The last time it hit the news, one service ("replica" or something silly like that?) cut off the lewdness which angered users greatly. Are there new players in this space?

the hypocritic oath

(the joke doesn't really work but I had to do it)

can't wait for impotent blubbering about alignment while everyone's lives are made measureably worse by greedy failsons throwing AI at every conceivable problem it can't solve.

do I also detect a hint of "failed to be a engineer/scientist but desperately still wants to appear like one"?

I'm sure Paulie G understands the necessity of regulators in a market which has real world consequences and is just being disingenuous here. If he actually believes the things he said i wouldn't care much, but he clearly knows what he's doing (as evidenced by replies). Fucking scum.

Midjourney is profitable, so they fucked up BIG time. Imagine going bankrupt while someone else uses your technology to make money hand over fist.

What's wrong with the weed advice? Seems reasonable enough to me.

The 2 page treatise on inequality which is primarily impotent faffing about from "first principles" definitely hurt me though

just looked the guy up. He's handsome. He literally looks like Jerry Seinfeld (actually, he looks even more like Pablo Schreiber who played Nicky Sobotka in The Wire). What a god damned twat. (Not that being attractive makes any of his arguments any worse than they already are)
