Some quotes from the article:
There is something very strange about having this very intimate view into someone’s life. It feels odd to see someone’s daily drive, but it’s also an important part of correcting and refining the program.
We review about five and a half to six hours of footage per day. It can be very hard to focus. You can get in this kind of fog when you’re just watching clip after clip and it can be difficult to keep yourself sane.
Anytime you’re not clicking around in the software program, it tracks you as if you aren’t working and it basically sets off an alarm to your superiors.
These jobs sound very dystopian to me, and a bit psychopathic as well. All the movies I watched growing up about dystopian societies is reflected in what this guy says about his job.
Well, now that’s obviously not true. They wouldn’t have drivable cars if they had no idea how to engineer one…
I once paid an electrician to do some electrical work in my house, therefor I am an electrician, otherwise, how would I have working power in my house?
Would you claim the company he worked for has zero understanding of how to do electrical work?
I would claim you have near zero understanding of how to comprehend anything that you’re reading…
Maybe, but I’m more thinking you’re too dumb to understand an analogy.
He’s referring to Elon himself, and I presume whomever else instantiated their productivity metrics.
Ok, so another of Elons companies sends rockets to space, so again, they clearly now engineering…
The engineers who work for him know engineering. Elon fancies himself an engineer, but he comes across as someone who knows about as much about aerospace as any kid after a few rounds of Kerbal Space Program. I’ve listened to his technical interviews on the Raptor engine and other stuff, he just spews pseudointellectual boilerplate you can get from any generic sci/space YouTuber.
I’m not talking about Elon engineering fricking rockets by himself, I’m talking about the dude in the comment thinking that Elons companies doesn’t have an engineering culture that can deliver, which is plain just not true.
I mean hate on the man, I don’t give a damn but don’t be dishonest is all I’m saying
So you’re talking about something different from Dinckel.
No? He claimed they have ‘zero ideas of how to engineer’ I disagree. I don’t even know what gives me the energy to go against the incessant Elon hate cirkle jerk, but it is so tiresome
If it helps i can explain how lemmy thinks,
Elon does nothing at his companies and is lazy and stupid, also Elon is intricately responsible for everything which happens at his companies and so everything they do is bad.
They will believe any ‘Elon bad’ story because they’re desperate to, largely because he said some bad things on Twitter and is bad at memes. They will also assume any Elon related thing is bad because to them reality is a team sport and if someone has differing political opinions they must be not only ontological evil but stupid and bad in every way.
