I think the Pentagon cooperation with Boeing is the real cause of Boeing's rot, so this is a partnership that is bad for openAI's engineering and science over a longer term.
The incentives switch from making good and useful stuff to getting more military contracts
- marcyb5st 3y agoI think that's just another symptom. My theory is that Boeing is another engineering company that was overtook by MBAs. 10+ years ago I was working for a company acquired by Boeing (Jeppesen) and it was already a massive shitshow. Cost cutting everywhere but weirdly enough there were always money for some dumb initiative some highly placed and connected VP/Director had. None of those in my opinion led to an improvement in products, working efficiency, or any meaningful metric. Sorry for being salty. Nowadays I feel I am going through the same st my current company and so this hits closer than I like.
