Following back and forth tweets, Twitter has hired George Hotz, founder of Tesla competitor Comma.ai, for a 12 week “internship” aimed at fixing the platform’s search. A lot is at stake.
It'd be cool to see what he can do at Twitter. I've known about GeoHotz back in his iOS and PS3 jailbreaking days.
Is this the guy who invented jailbreak?
Yes
He’s already humiliated himself several times by admitting he doesn’t have a clue about modern web development lol. https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/z2y8i0/from_this_this_is_my_mission_an_i_will_accomplish/
Elon Must seems to have a lof of faith in him.
Why would George be humiliated? He has quite a long list of accomplishments and is knowingly seeking out new areas to build that he’s not familiar with to continue learning.
Lex is such a joke. His research output and h-index is pathetic. It’s honestly a wonder he continues to be employed at MIT. It’s also incredible that someone with the charisma of a potato has found fame as a Podcaster/interviewer. Shows you the power of being a right wing grifter.
He's not employed, he was a guest lecturer. He manipulates perception by perpetuating he is / was an employee. The dude is a joke and people who want to feel smart listen to the guy. Little do they know he's about as smart as a potato and as mundane as a Monday morning funeral
Figures, he’s following the grifter playbook to a “T”.
he has no clue what he is going to do. the scale of Twitter and noise to signal ratio is huge. he is not a research scientist he is a web developer.
Bro just implement a search bar it can’t be that hard. I read a google system design article once so I could probably do it in like a few hours.
Twitter staff (former?) still claiming they are vital and critical personnel hahahah. Everything is just so dang complicated only a bloated “engineering” team can understand twitter. Just go to Amazon already and get piped.
At Twitter he's literally just a normal big tech intern working on a single feature to add searching on liked tweets. He's not the "head of search". He only talked to Elon for a few seconds at Twitter. Watch his twitch stream from a couple nights ago, he talks about it Wtf is this propaganda OP. Stop with the fake news.
Yeah this^ GeoHotz joined as an Intern, tf people complaining about lol
He is not going to be able to achieve anything he is talking about.
A lot at stake for ELon fanboys I’m more worried about the markets. Things that really impacts me
