Putting my tin foil hat on... Sam Altman knows the AI train might be slowing down soon.

The OpenAI brand is the most valuable part of the company right now, since the models from Google, Anthropic, etc. can beat or match what ChatGPT is, but they aren't taking off coz they aren't as cool as OpenAI.

The business models to train & run models is not sustainable. If there is any money to be made it is NOW, while the speculation is highest. The nonprofit is just getting in the way.

This could be wishful thinking coz fuck corporate AI, but no one can deny AI is in a speculative bubble.

I think a lot of memes are missing the main point of how it was caught, the exploit caused a spike in CPU usage for a network call. That made no sense to the guy Messiah who found/reported it. FOSS software's strength is the number of critical eyes looking over each line of code you put out!

Obligatory

Spot on! I hoped this comment would be higher! The main problem isn't corps not making money, but grid stability due to unreliability of renewables.

To be fair, the original tweet is kinda shit to begin with. They've unnecessarily assigned monetary value to a purely engineering (physics?) problem.

They greedy af. They've lobbied (bribed?) to keep the corp taxes as low as possible. Then they go Double Irish with Dutch Sandwich and NOT pay the low taxes anyways. If we were to tax them appropriately then it'd be a helluva lot more than 13b imo

While I get what you're saying, a lot of people are practically powerless in front of these billionaires, that shape & challenge their very existence. In the face of such helplessness, I can understand attacking someone in that much powers' uncontrollable attributes.

It's easy to be trapped into thinking "treat them as you'd like to be treated", when the oppressor proves time & time again they will not treat you like one of them.

Just my 2¢

Devils advocate: retiring an old service dog means you'd need to invest in training another pup which is way more expensive than titanium teeth and dealing even with animal cruelty complaints and/or lawsuits. Also "bleed blue" fanboys will see this as badass, so its free PR.

As a mortal/moral person advocate: WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU.

As much as I'd love hating on Microsoft, I think this gross incompetence & shitty bureaucracy over malice from Microsoft. Kaginski was locked out of his account & Microsoft made it annoyingly difficult to recover. This is something I have also faced using Microsoft's enterprise products, something we pay a lot of money for.

The bane of my existence is visiting Microsoft community posts, where "MVPs" advertise their years of experience before suggesting the most banal advice ever.

This is exciting! Even if its not microbes its a fascinating find & a win for science.

Though I hate how a someone remotely piloting science experiments via a rover on friggin' mars has to worry about how "NASA needs this win". What is the point of humanity if we don't explore our universe! I find it it so frustrating.

Damn right. Breaking Bad never made me, a grown man, cry uncontrollably. 9.6/10

Is this... Gain?

Its funny how people assume colonization benefitted all Brits equally, and spices, tea (& riches) weren't hoarded by royalty and the gentry.

How the hell do you think the East India Company got so rich? It wasn't by selling it to... shudder ... normal and... wretching... poor people. They can stick to their traditional true British spice, Salt & vinegar! /s

Idk man, I'd be wary using the communal butt plug with corporate sponsoring. But maybe that's just me.

Did you remember the episode end though? It basically ends with the robot attacking the maid. Even then they knew the dangers lmao.

(Completely side stepping the clearly prescribed ethnicity for house help part on this one though)

"Please Fund projects done by others, loved by all, which we can come and embrace, extend & extinguish... pretty please!"

Google often feels like a disorganized company with constantly shifting priorities, and a big reason behind that is the lack of top-down initiatives from the CEO. That means the real driving force behind most projects at Google are mid-level executives who show up with grand plans and then leave—either in disgrace or triumph—when those initial plans run their course.

Makes a lot of sense. There doesn't seem to be a unifying strategy behind anything google does. I also think theres a vicious circle going on here: google has a loyalty problem, which could be solved by long term thinking, usually done by loyal employees, but employees don't stick around long enough.

Agreed. I think GN missed the point by not publishing the smoking gun receipts, but an avalanche of receipts for things LMG was guilty of and have admitted to. It kinda makes it look like GN wants it to look like they're "burying LMG with evidence", but in reality the smoking gun would only need to be a paragraph & some screenshots.

I feel sorry for website maintainers at this point, they gotta deal with a broken ad supported business model, AI web scrapers, dwindling viewership, and now google modifying their pages without their knowledge. Like people who just want to share interesting stuff with the world and make a living off of their work have to deal with this crap.

Regardless of the original message, reposting a screenshot with "yup" is a shitty tweet & Musk behavior.
