| I think I’d take directing big things at Google over riding a dirt bike… I’m not actually sure what you don’t get. I’m all for not living a lower level grind and riding a dirt bike. Most jobs simply aren’t interesting. |

| It’s the lack of imagination that’s sad. |

| If you're a director at Google you can probably afford a pretty damn nice dirt bike if that's your jam |

| Regretting not being able to create more shareholder value on your deathbed. So very sad. |

| ▲ | __jonas 3 days ago | parent [-] | | I can't really tell what you're trying to say, do you really think the shareholder value of Google is positively aligned with the future of humanity?
As in: If Google builds a really good AI and makes a lot of money from that, this will be a net positive for the world? | | |
| ▲ | Klonoar a day ago | parent [-] | | You’re shifting the goalpost to be positive influence or not. That’s not what they were saying though. Their point is that the sheer allure for many people of that level of influence is powerful and makes other options likely less appealing. |
