    Tech Bros know fuck all about science. All they know is what they want and their ability to spew bullshit about how easy it is to make it happen. Self-driving cars. Mars colonies. And especially “AI.”

    It is long past time we got over our child-like worship of billionaires.

    A tech bro who used money to buy tech doesn’t mean they are smart, or even understand how the thing they bought works. Usually they just end up ruining the products they bought. For example, Tesla and Twitter. #notsmart

    The tech people are smart. Technically smart.

    That does NOT mean they’re wise or have common sense.

    You need technical skill but also a mature adult in the room.

      No they’re not. They’re mostly CEOs. Their main skills are bullshitting, delegating and taking the fall when things go wrong. And they aren’t very good at the last one.

        i am not going to reserach every pick and i am in no way agreeing with the picjs but i do know off the top of my head that jensen huang and sergey brin are technical smart.

        also didnt marc anderson create mosaic with just one other guy?

        regardless, no one on there is a scientist.

          I mean doesn’t mean he is “smart”. I know I’ll get hate but look at apple Wozniak was smart and Jobs was an asshole and good at sales. Before anyone complains Jobs was notorious for not being nice.
