The problem is that OpenAI calls itself OpenAI when it's completely sealed off, and calls itself a non-profit when, as you say, almost everything about is for profit. Basically they're whitewashing their image as an organization w

Ok, but this is the worst example of permission overreach, as it's an app to take photos, obviously it needs access to the camera.

You can define it how you like, the nature of a NIMBY is that whatever it is, they don't want it near THEM (hence Not In My Back Yard) and affecting THEM, but they don't care about how it may affect others. If they were against wh

They'll be gone in 3 years. This will juice the stock price as investors will be happy with gaining additional tax benefits. By the time the problems bubble up from a weakened foundation it'll be the next guy's problem.

I told you I work in PE, but that's not the point of the statement. I cut spending and improve services because I know how to spend properly. The phone system changeover gained us a lot of functionality and ease of use while cutting sp

> So, to evaluate the intelligence of an LLM based on its first “gut reaction” to a prompt is probably misguided. There's no intelligence to evaluate. They're not intelligent. There's no logic or cogitation in them.

My response is: Ok. Not my problem. OpenAI isn't entitled to free profit. No one is.

If you think one person printing out CSAM on a printer one page at a time is the same as running a service that facilitates tens of thousands of people to trade CSAM, there's nothing I can say to explain it to you.

Photographs have been faked and fooling people since 5 minutes after the first photograph. AI doesn't make this any worse than Photoshop or the airbrush.

Early this year they messed around with a credit card account I had with them. I immediately said fix it or I cancel today, they refused, I cancelled the account and they've been nagging me to come back for 6 months. Fuck no!

FDR tried it during his time, wanted to expand it to 13 I think. It didn't work. But what we really need for SCOTUS is time limits and automatic replacements at intervals to take politics out of the process a little bit.
