Thread regarding Twitter layoffs

Shocking, right?

  • XAI tapped a recent high school graduate to lead its data annotation team.
  • Diego Pasini began leading the team in early September amid leadership changes and deep layoffs.
  • Pasini's LinkedIn says he's "on leave" from his studies at the University of Pennsylvania.

Not that shocking. 0.001% talent.

Linus created Linux at 21. Vitalik made Ethereum at 19. Claude Shannon’s thesis is foundational - 21. Farnsworth invented the TV at 21. von Neumann, 19. Minsky built SNARC at 21.

I’m not saying he’s any the same tier as any of these people, but it’s silly to think young people aren’t capable of operating on the frontier.
