Um, cause she's not willing to do the things that you kind of need to do to, to, to succeed, you know, in the place that she is. Um, But it's interesting. I don't, like, give her any shit for that.

Quote, they kept demanding that I work unpaid overtime, talking about how other employees just always put 40 hours on their timesheet no matter what, and this exemplary employee over there worked 12 hours a day, and he really went the extra mile and got the job done, and they needed me to really go the extra mile and get the job done.

Yeah. I'm so sad that this is part of what shatters your brain. Like that really bums me out. So first off, she's kind of start spiraling and she concludes that she hates virtue ethics. This is where she starts hating Yudkowsky, right? This is, she doesn't come break entirely on him yet, but she gets really angry at this point because she's like, well, obviously virtue ethics don't work. Right.

Exactly. Exactly. So this is a very damaging thing to her that this happens. And again, as much as I'm blamed Yudkowsky, the culture of the Bay Area tech industry, that's a big part of what drives this person to where she ends up, right? So, that said, some of her issues are also rooted in a kind of rigid and unforgiving internal rule set.
