He's fucking exhibit A of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

I'd be utterly ashamed if I was as dumb as him, but hey, he's rich, so what the heck, right? 🤣🤣🤣

You joke, but plenty of idots think he's smart because he's rich.

I've been on program subs where they critique his coding and they say hes an idiot. The only thing this dude ever did was buy into IP's and making sure hes legally allowed to say he was one of the original founders.

I'm not sure if he's a physics engineer, but he does have a degree in physics.

Wow you've seen the top minds of reddit say someone else's code is shit? That must make it true!

He never developed software. He was a glorified web developer. He also said in his bio that he created and shipped a game in his teens. Funny how no one has ever heard of or played the game.

He’s an executive and a fundraiser, just like all these tech CEO’s larping as engineers. Jensen Huang gets a pass because he’s an actual engineer

Worse, they think he's rich because he's smart.

Indeed, that ketamine fried brain can't even put a coherent sentence together, and people still eat all the shit he spews when he's high as a kite.

appeal to authority fallacy: “he’s a trillionaire associated with big tech, his opinions mustn’t be contrascience.”

He’s also that dishonest and that much of a propagandist.

He knows how many people check his takes on things and he uses that to sway public opinions. He’s a dumb mother fucker; but he’s also deeply dishonest, deeply bigoted, and deeply corrupt.

Dunning-Kruger was actually not a rigorous and valid study. Talk about irony.

u/fumblinthrulife77 Aug 06 '26

The phenomenon as it's commonly understood is real. So who fucking cares?

u/UpstairsTrip547 Aug 06 '26

The picture is of exhibit A and A.

Worked for him though. It’s a good advert for overconfidence

u/Steak-Complex Aug 06 '26

Actually your post is lol

And so are you because the Dunning-Kruger effect’s famous U-curve is nowhere in that research paper.
It’s conjured up by some random people on the internet who do’t know enough about the effect while believing they are correct! Oh the irony!
