Fair enough. Since we don’t really know, we can choose any plausible explanation.

To me, the line “I’m sorry. I’m leaving on my own.” implies that he was given the option of suicide, or something far worse, and he made his choice.

Well, obviously an adult, but I admit I’m a little unsure about which one. Hope that helps.

I like the thought, but it won’t work. The big websites won’t be willing to lose money they don’t have to, and like ID laws that give them reasons to extract more data from users anyway.

Seagal’s wikipedia page reads like he’s in the running [slow shuffling walk] for biggest shitbag actor award.

Corrected method of movement.

Musk and team: “OpenAI was founded as a non-profit, and turning it into a for-profit corporation with shareholders is a betrayal of its founding, and humanity itself.”

Altman and team: “Musk is just big mad because he wanted to control OpenAI and we didn’t let him.”

I suspect that they’re both, uh, mostly not wrong on those points.

I’m sick of it too. From now on I’m going to max as little as possible. I’m calling it minmaxxing and no, it has nothing to do with RPG character stats.

Actually, they have 2 Outlooks, and neither of them are working.

Well maybe they are private enterprise death panels, but they trust them more than theoretical government death panels because the private sector is more efficient than government at cutting costs, such as, um, actually paying for needed care and oh shit they did not think that through.

edit: I meant to reply that to the comment above, but oh well. It’s here now.

Sounds like she didn’t have any problems spending her husband’s porn money before. It’d be a bit hypocritical if she suddenly has a problem with it now that it’s her hand on the tiller. To be fair, big life changes like the loss of a loved one often makes people rethink things in their life. If she does have an issue with that business model, she’ll probably just sell her stake so she can have the money but not remain involved.

It seems to be a series of posts from one person, starting with “look at this bad idea someone had” followed up with numerous "oh god it gets worse " posts, featuring screen shots of the project and reaction images to mock it.

“New York City police investigating lake after officers got wet after walking it.”

As much as I hate these assholes coopting Tolkien’s works, it is a really apt name for this company. In the story, the Palantir were wonderous tools for communication until they were corrupted and taken over by literal evil, turned into tools of surveillance and control.

I dislike that the article refers to Thiel as a Libertarian without putting quote marks around it. While he is firmly opposed to governments regulating businesses, he makes and sells the tools to help governments exercise more authority over private citizens. I know the term has also been largely coopted by fascists, but it still annoys me.

Some of the services supposedly built on AI have turned out to be exactly that. The AIs themselves aren’t though. They’re dumb in a way that is very distinct from the way we humans are dumb.

A TV doctor snake oil marketer turned MAGA official.

We do understand exactly how LLMs work though, and it no way fits with any theories of consciousness. It’s just a word extruder with a really good pattern matcher.

I like the comparison but LLMs can’t go insane as they just word pattern engines. It’s why I refuse to go along with the AI industry’s insistance in calling it a “hallucination” when it spits out the wrong words. It literally can not have a false perception of reality because it does not perceive anything in the first place.

This feels to me like a common folk saying from somewhere translated into English. It’s also a very apt and appropriately vulgar metaphor for the situation.
