Silicon Valley is buzzing about this new idea: AI compute as compensation

@tante but is it compensation if you spend all of it on your job?

@meeoo If you're asking that question, you're clearly not hardcore enough.

Ask yourself: are you dedicated enough to your job to make it your entire identity and not be paid for it? Or are you a loser with loving relationships and fulfilling hobbies who lives in a _community_ like some kind of happy person?
