About

UPDATE. I was banned from LinkedIn! Apparently LinkedIn isn't for everything. I made a post here about it, but if you want the raw uncensored truth, follow me on Instagram @georgehotz PLEASE READ PROFILE. I used to joke about how I used LinkedIn as a dating site, but in the current year, this just isn't that funny anymore. The professional managerial class who I was mocking is quickly losing their grasp on power, so it's unclear if I'm still punching up. How many of the messages here even come from real people anymore? How many of those people have pronouns in their bio? Are they GPT/GPT? We have a big task ahead of us to define what the "new business" looks like. Comparatively, the revolution is the easy part. If you want to work with or sell something to comma, we offer 30 minute phone meetings for $1000. What is your EV? Over $1000, and this might be a great deal. Under $1000, why would I want to work with you? See https://geohot.com Have skills and like winning? comma.ai/jobs and bounties.tinygrad.org Mostly self taught. Learned a lot reading the internet, and just playing around. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Hotz I want to be the very best, like no one ever was.
