And for whatever reason a lot of people in startup/tech seem to have a huge Dunning-Kruger effect blind spot where they believe knowing a lot about one thing makes them an expert in everything.

This used to just be funny, but when it started to intersect with politics it began to actively contribute to destroying society. It isn't funny anymore.

(I don't think Karpathy's job data here is destroying society, this is a more generalized observation).
