Tirial@jsnell Just a bit of feedback for this week’s Upgrade. I don’t think you can really consider Apple/USA the big leagues anymore. 20 years ago, absolutely. As a young engineer at BlackBerry, I dreamed of working for Apple. Today, as a uni lecturer, I get recruited to come to the USA a fair amount (not by Apple) with more resources and money than I could ever have here. There just isn’t any way I would go. There are still some, even many, who would, but way fewer than ever before
Jason Snell@Tirial I'm sorry, but if you don't think Apple, Google, and the like (presumably OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic now) are not the big leagues (not the USA generally, but the tech giants specifically) then we are just going to have to disagree.
@Tirial what you're describing is you turning down the money and resources of the big leagues to stay home. That's fine but "more resources and money than I could ever have here" is the very definition of the big leagues. It's not for everyone.
