    Yuck, the cult-like mentality is truly pathetic.

    “Dear leader noticed me!”

    In a follow-up post, Tajik wrote that he has been working long hours for many years, and it’s how he went from almost being homeless in 2020 to joining xAI.

    In 2020, he was in college. He graduated in 2023. By that measure, I was “almost” homeless and worked long hours in college too.

    “Working long hours for many years” is hysterical, he is a 25-year-old child.

      I wouldn’t go as far as to call him a child, but a very naïve young adult who will have to learn how capitalism works the hard way. As soon as he burns out and is replaced as a consequence, he will hopefully realize there’s no point in “grinding”. But considering he’s a Cybertruck owner… maybe not, lol. Plus, as the article says, working such long hours tanks productivity, anyway, so it’s a waste of both employee’s and employer’s time and money.
