I’m curious what AGI discourse looks like in Israel right now where they’re working on the same shit but actually facing an existential threat. Somehow doubt it’s that high

OpenAI went through at least one purge, Musk founded it but famously is no longer associated with it. There’s a huge amount of board turnover, it would be interesting to see the causes behind that

OpenAI’s one of the most successful companies of this decade, if not the most, and its CEO just got fired for really unclear reasons. Insane, Steve Jobs shit

Remote work is better for a certain type of worker who has a lot of time to post, so they post a lot about how bad it is. It is worse for another type of worker who’s more likely to make decisions about work from home

Ghosting totally makes sense for creepy strangers on dating apps, but you really don’t want to make those where people expect to find intimacy, which a lot of people (especially nerds on the internet) seem too think is supposed to happen. T

We should have relationships but they’re entirely based on text and also the AIs text for us. When the AIs love each other enough the male AI forks the code of the female AI, injecting his code, to make a new hybrid model

He’s wrong and full of shit. America is responsible for like 5% of the civilian casualties in Iraq, Russia’s killed like 500,000 people, and they rape everyone they can see. Moral relativism with geopolitics is cheap pseudo-intellectual pla

A lot of academics are. It’s incredibly stupid and shows a blind spot. Not really relevant to this tho, it’s a question of philosophy. His naïveté in foreign policy isn’t really relevant
