[quote]Typical A.I. specialists, including both Ph.D.s [b]fresh out of school and people with less education and just a few years of experience[/b], can be paid from [u]$300,000 to $500,000 a year[/u] or more in salary and company stock, according to nine people who work for major tech companies or have entertained job offers from them.

Well-known names in the A.I. field have received compensation in salary and shares in a company’s stock that total [b]single- or double-digit millions over a four- or five-year period[/b].[/quote]

He meant “show me the money” for having to do the bare minimum. Ie. fly airplanes to pleasant places  ;D 
Not work your tail off to build our future digital overlords.

Oh.

I always thought it was cool to see your work go into
world-class products, even if Rockie always told me I

I spent some years improving the reliability of the
blow-out protection software on the offshore drilling

I thought that was a worthwhile use of my time, even
if airline pilots thought I was a fuckhead for trying to
stop that from happening again.

I guess that's not much money to someone like Rockie.

[Gravel Digger]

What astounds me is that with all of that under your belt, the Rockies of the world even show up on your radar.


I don't have what you have, because I haven't applied myself like you have. I think everyone needs to come to terms with that in their lives at some point.
