I really like the way rusty foster described this in today in tabs, it shows the correct amount of contempt for the exercise itself and derision for how stupid they're expecting people to be to believe it. > The Torment Nexus announces it has retained counsel in OpenAI dispute. > On Sunday OpenAI announced it was removing its new horny robot girlfriend voice, explaining in a blog post that the voice was “not an imitation of Scarlett Johansson” at all (and frankly it’s weird of you even to think that???) but was actually the real human meat voice of a completely different actress who goes to another school, you wouldn’t know her. Also she’s from Canada. > Recapping the imbroglio, Casey Newton wrote that Sam Altman is full of shit [measured, respectful] and Ed Zitron wrote that Sam Altman is full of shit [angry diatribe]. But with the final departure of co-founder and actual technologist Ilya Sutskever, whose last-ditch effort to oust Altman failed last fall, OpenAI is now firmly under the control of Paul Graham / Marc Andreessen style technofascist incompetents, and this kind of clown show will increasingly be the norm. There's about a dozen links in there I don't feel like copying but it's easy to find.
