The less in shape you are, the sicker you can possibly get.

Probably a continuum of causal arrows pointing either one way or the other, in the group.

But do they establish a causal arrow? If you're in chronic pain because you're dying of something you're not exactly going to be likely to do a lot of cardio workout. :)

Without care you might conclude, for example, that rock climbing prevents becoming a quadriplegic since there aren't any quadriplegic rock climbers... when in fact to the extent that they're related at all rock climbing sometimes causes it.

Because you couldn’t say “in mice” :-)

What a psychopath.

To anyone who may be in this kind of situation, trust your instincts and leave. It will not get better. You will find other, better opportunities elsewhere. Best lesson I ever learned was from a high level exec that had just started at the company where I worked. He quit in 2 weeks. Impressively, he did it without drama or really even causing bad will - he just told the CEO it wasn't a match, and that the longer he stayed the more detrimental it would be to both himself and the company. I wish I had followed his lead - I was too worried about what it would look like to leave a company so soon after joining.

Execs can have bigger voids due to gardening leave, non competes so it looks OK. But honestly because you can (in theory) lie on your CV it ain’t worth worrying about. So the scenario where you die because you run out of money and need a job because of a gap can be remediated that way. Change the dates or something.

I mean, maybe you shouldn't sell of the right to buy your company.

The accelerator sounds scummy, but at the same time i can't help but wonder wtf the owners of these companies were doing. Did they just not read the contract? If you own a company i think you have a lot of responsibility for the shitty business deals you make. Its not like we are talking about some senior citizen hoodwinked into signing their home away.

Every contract has some crap in for what seems like unlikely scenarios. If you can’t negotiate it out it is either that or the highway. If these startups could get YC funding they probably would have. So for some it is accept a possible imperfect contract or back to employment. Employment itself being full of contracts with crap clauses as well as common law itself having crap. Show me the perfect contract!

Would have been nice for the bankruptcy company (what is the term… administrator? receiver?) to try to sell the portfolio of investments as-is to another VC. This may have both kept the startups alive and got them more $ overall for creditors. Maybe this would have been more doable in 2020!

How does it compare to “just” using vagrant, docker, firecracker etc.

Lol obvious misspellings: "perioid," what a professional product. Or how about "comphrensive."

And the AI is... somewhere, I'm sure.

You're just selling a shitty course on a poorly put together page with rampant, egregious spelling and grammatical errors, calling it AI for some reason, then posting it here like it's a tool for the community. How nice of you.

I ask you this serious question: Is this really what you want the Internet to be? Just people selling other people slapped together courses with likely fabricated testimonies, claiming they're something magical, and trying to fool people into buying it by calling it AI? Dude, you yourself admitted you're just taping together OpenAI features and using images from Midjourney's stolen content library instead of hiring a human artist to create authentic content.

This is an Andrew Tate, Alpha Influencer level of embarrassing. Honestly, I consider this a case study in how far we've fallen into the "AI" hype bubble, alongside selling (what I'm _sure_ are professionally done) "courses" full of plagiarized and repackaged information freely available from reputable sources online.

Weird thing is the sales video is quite good so they just need to spend a bit for an editor or proofreader to fix it up.

Whats the AI bit? Seems like a straight up course.

Gaussian splatting feel magical, and with 4D Gaussian splatting now being a thing, 3D movies that are actually 3D, and in which you can navigate could be a reality in the coming years. (And I suspect the first use-case will be porn, as usual).

Movies can become games as well.
