My criticism is that that's a detail that is being obscured and instead other explanations for leaving are being presented (cynically IMO).
- tptacek 1y agoI don't see anything interesting about that detail; you keep trying to make something out of it, but there's nothing there to talk about. There might be some marginal drama to scrape up here if the post was negative about OpenAI (I'd still be complaining about trying to whip up drama where there isn't any), but it's kind of glowing about them.
- bagxrvxpepzn 1y agoWell now the goalpost has shifted from "it's not cynical" to "even if it is cynical it doesn't matter" and dang has already warned me so I'm hesitant to continue this thread. I'll just say that once you recognize that a lot of the fluff in this article is cynically motivated, it reduces your risk of giving the information presented more meaning than is really there.
- tptacek 1y agoYeah, I just read what Dan said you, and it makes sense, so we should wrap it up right here.
