Perhaps the question should not be "Is OpenAI trustworthy?" but instead "Is any company trustworthy? What does vast amounts of capital do to the trustworthiness of an entity?"

I don't think you add value to this conversation, or any of the many conversations in which you do this, by simply pointing out duplicate threads. You'd probably be better off (and less annoying) by simply emailing the mods about

Indeed! And even subjectively, I find it difficult to believe that even if AI-written, the new information learned has negative marginal utility (or less marginal utility than had it been human-written). That is in fact the basis of the p

Wild that the messenger is more important than the message. No wonder politics is such a shitshow these days.

Yes, but criticism itself takes our free time, and there are better places to allocate that criticism/free time than this particular pile-on.

Assuming it is AI-written, who cares? Would the article have been written if AI hadn't authored it? Did you derive less utility from the article than had it not been written at all? Bunch of Veruca Salts here. I want ALL the enterta

If MAGA wants lower crime, why is MAGA kicking out immigrants? Immigrants commit crime at lower rates than citizens. [1] If MAGA is pro-economy, why is MAGA kicking out immigrants? Immigrants are more entrepreneurial than US-born citizen

Why is the Trump administration against anti-fascism? </s> Edit: lol @ the guy claiming anti-fascists are "intolerant" while all of today's leading technofascists are crowing about how empathy is self-defeating. s

People on HN are not a special elect subset of the population, except perhaps around specific HN-adjacent topics (engineering, VC, computer science, maths, etc.) Why would you think a random person on HN is less prone to talking out of thei

Ridiculous, because EA says the ends justify the means, whereas Ms. Parton demonstrated the importance of the ends and the means. The public will not mourn any EA the way that Dolly is being mourned. It is your silly assertion that is wha
