Nice to hear you've got a job, and good luck!
That's a hilarious reaction.
Anyway there's zip about this incident on LW, which is telling.

Glad to see some pushback on these claims.
Important to note that as these companies are approaching an IPO, they are desperate that the reporting is about the glorious (or dangerous) future they can provide, and not about the dodgy finances.
Kind of a pseudo-sneer, author is writing a
blog on machine learning engineering, compound AI systems, search and information retrieval, and recsys — exploring machine learning, LLM agents, and data science insights from startups to enterprises.
Here's the discussion on the red site: https://lobste.rs/s/nmhkdl/ai_great_leap_forward Plenty of people suspect the text being LLM generated. Pangram disagrees, fwiw.
I do think there's some interesting ideas about how humans will "defend" themselves from being replaced by bots, and that the critical info in a company is seldom in the source code, but in the customer relationships, sales etc.

I believe the scientific consensus is that it originated in a wet market in Wuhan.
The "lab leak theory", while not impossible, is also shorthand for a morass of conspiracy theories grounded in racist attitudes towards China.

What I found interesting about the post was the total non-discussion about the most discussed source of terrorism in the last few decades, namely Islamic terrorism. AI safety terrs are fucking amateurs compared to the people recruiting Islamic terrorists, who not only have a convincing story to pitch but actually do the work to get people on board and prepared to risk their lives for the goal.
The author gestures vaguely at anti-abortion terrs, totally oblivious to the obvious connection between them and purported anti-AI activists - namely ,that they see any violence justified in the light of the murder of millions of unborn children. If the future of humanity is at stake, any means are justified!
