@interro_9 knowing his backstory now, his beff jezos person is legitimately one of the most pathetic characters i have ever seen in the website.

@interro_9 He thought he was high value enough to dodge the “immigrant we should kick out” label. These people always think “those who are hurting others will care enough and be competent enough to avoid hurting me.” And so many of them are fucking wrong.

Canada gets one half of the equation right - human development.
But the economic development needed to retain people is woefully inadequate and slipping by the day.
Brain drain is increasing as Canada regulates away businesses.
Until Canada becomes business-friendly, it will continue the 11-year decline.

@interro_9 the only thing he has in common with american people is his high BMI score

@interro_9 He has some valid complains about Canada but "escaped Canadian socialism" is a funny thing to say, like he was smuggled out inside a gas truck container or something
@interro_9 He is really evil. He also has publicly said he is OK with AI wiping out humanity.
"but im a white guy working on ai"
you can only fucking lol at something so incomprehensibly ignorant and out of touch
let me get this straight–
you were born and raised in quebec, and had the good fortune to study at mcgill - literally one of the world's best universities - for less than $5000 a year.
then you did graduate studies at waterloo - canada's top school for computer science, and earned a masters in maths and a phd there.
you then went on to move to America, work for Google, and later started your own ai company.
and the narrative you want to weave around your upbringing and training is that you ESCAPED canadian socialism?
so the socialism was good enough for you to grow up safe, have healthcare, receive a literal world-class education that helped you into one of the top technology firms in the world, but is also so bad that america has a moral imperative to ensure you, a technologist working there, should be granted permanent residency.
and if your lack of gratitude for your upbringing wasnt enough, you were promoting a presidential candidate who was vehemently opposed to immigration – while you, an immigrant, were staying in their country with a temporary visa.
i guess you can be smart enough to work on ai and quantum computing but still be dumb enough to not only think these things, but actually post them on twitter expecting sympathy

@interro_9 It’s also a massive insult to those of us that ACTUALLY come from former socialist countries. The guy is an absolute c*nt.

@interro_9 Kinda guy that pulls the ladder up behind him after having people hold it in place while he safely climbs up.

@interro_9 He’s not dumb, he just thinks he’s better than everyone and deserves everything

@interro_9 Correction here, His entire undergraduate degree was at McGill University (2011-14), for $6-7KCAD.
For Québec residents (Cégep System), McGill usually spans as a 3-year degree.
Tuition rates were ~$2KCAD in 2011.
This guy is a mega-loser.

@interro_9 >promoting a presidential candidate who was vehemently opposed to immigration
Not to mention a presidential candidate who repeatedly "joked" about the coercive takeover of his country of birth!

@interro_9

@interro_9 Wait is he saying he's running a billion dollar company

@interro_9 If Beff leaves he’s taking his Python library with him. 🤬🤬🤬

@interro_9 He literally could purchase citizenship. If he sells his chips, $1 million for a gold card should be nothing

@interro_9 He doesn’t realize he owes his entire existence and nearly all his success to a ‘socialist’ system that turned him into world class human capital for a pittance.
Nearly all his success is due to the Canadian education system. If he was US born he would have never achieved this.

@interro_9 "Escaped Canadian Socialism"?
The guy enjoyed free education and healthcare security in Canada only to shit on those amenities for some extra dollars? F@$k that guy.

@interro_9 Here’s what these ungrateful immigrants don’t understand… the only reason they can build anything is because of the United States.
They do not create anything… we give them the ability to create.
Their intelligence is worthless in their home countries…

They all want to have their cake and eat it too - they all want to be “immigrants”, but never actually become citizens, and then want all the rights citizens have. Just to get their bag and export all those funds out of the US.
Europeans were the first Indians in the sense corporations know they could pay them less than an American and/or get government subsidies for hiring them.

@interro_9 Sensible post. It is weird to see so many “entitled” and “victim” posts. Proof that humans are a long way from shedding the reptilian mindset.
