#387 โ€“ George Hotz: Tiny Corp, Twitter, AI Safety, Self-Driving, GPT, AGI & God

I mean, you know what? This is something that I do differently from Elon with Kama about self-driving cars. You know, I hear the new version is going to come out and the new version is not going to be better, but at first, and it's going to require a ton of refactors. I say, okay, take as long as you need. Like you convinced me this architecture is better. Okay. We have to move to it.

Even if it's not going to make the product better tomorrow, the top priority is making, is getting the architecture right.

I'm just not. And that's the problem. Like, I don't really know. I don't really know if that's... You know, a common thing that I thought a lot while I was there was whenever I thought something that was different to what Elon thought, I'd have to run something in the back of my head reminding myself that Elon is the richest man in the world. And in general, his ideas are better than mine.

Now, there's a few things I think I do understand and know more about, but... But, like, in general, I'm not qualified to run Twitter. I was going to say qualified, but, like, I don't think I'd be that good at it. I don't think I'd be good at it. I don't think I'd really be good at running an engineering organization at scale.

I think I could lead a very good refactor of Twitter, and it would take, like, six months to a year, and the results to show at the end of it would be feature development in general takes 10x less time, 10x less man hours. That's what I think I could actually do. Do I think that it's the right decision for the business above my pay grade?

I don't want to be a manager. I don't want to do that. If you really forced me to, yeah, it would make me upset if I had to make those decisions. I don't want to.

George, you're a junior software engineer. Every junior software engineer wants to come in and refactor the whole code.
