It's also not open, making its very name a fraud.

It’s also not artificial intelligence. It’s electron state in a synthetic machine which has learned nothing about the world through its own agency and curiosity but the “sit, stay” demands of organic intelligence. Universe already made matter twinkle with consciousness. Humans should come up with something actually new

  Artificial Intelligence has been an academic discipline since 1956. Don't get distracted by science fiction: what OpenAI do is absolutely part of that discipline.

    Academics have no authority to demand others normalize to their opinions. I went through academia. They wanted people to come up with ideas back then. Now they want people to normalize to theirs. It’s just people in rooms waving around prestige words. None of them have broken physics. They normalize descriptions of observation, often incorrectly at great cost to others Characterizing them like popes and tribal shaman whose outputs are inviolable truth is really odd The symbolic logic and leaky abstractions of academics are crude approximations, not accurate representations of reality for which even a tiny inch of space would require infinite logic to describe. The translation to human language always leaves even more detail out. Academia is often peddling a marketing gimmick to sell society on. Academics are people looking to capitalize first

Microsoft isn't micro, making its very name a fraud

  They make microcomputer software. Seems legit.

  Given that OpenAI was named that way because it was meant to be open, a nonprofit, I think that your retort is not helpful.

  > Microsoft isn't micro, making its very name a fraud No. The majority of their business for their entire history has been making soft for micros.

  So i if i add "legal services" to the name of my creative writing company (because our services are not illegal) no one should be surprised when the results don't work out well in court, right?

  you ever licked an apple? tastes nothing like the fruit. what’s sad is that it isn’t limited to tech. papa johns? not for a while it hasn’t been. the list goes on, but you better sit down first…
