Just to be clear, I don't generally object to this, but it is interesting that you can spot membership in tech-world by the sprinkling of, in particular, jargon from econ, stats, CS, and physics. E.g. "update" to mean "changed my view" or "condition on" to mean "take int consideration"

Of all the weird tech speak, using “light cone” to refer to “what might happen” is most odd to me. It’s as if you’re saying “all the stuff that might happen, and I wish to emphasize no faster than light speeds, time travel, or violations of relativity theory in general”

"out of distribution" = unusual
I'm lately (maybe this is old?) hearing "look at the data" to mean "read several books" as opposed to the more narrow sense of looking up some tables about a topic or whatever.
e.g. "out of distribution" means "unusual but I'm visualising probability distributions while I say this", which makes sense if it's important to reify probability distributions in the conversation. Same with "reward function"

Nah, there’s more to it; lots of specialist work has autistic practitioners. I think the tech industry ALSO has a kind of weird worship going for it. “Tech= the future/science”, which is progressively being demonstrated to be a dangerous assumption.
Mentally these people have skipped leg day.
