I’m sure there’s absolutely zero chance that Sam Altman would lie about that, especially now that he’s gutted all oversight and senior-level opposition.

You mentioned what is or isn’t an ad, my point is the distinction is a lot less clear than you think, and it always has been. While it’s good more people understand the business of news, this is all out in the open and has been for years.

They have literally run “native ads” for a decade which are ads specifically designed to appear to be content from New Yorker writers. https://www.marketingdive.com/news/the-new-yorker-jumps-into...

The New Yorker gets high tier freelancers, other outlets get dogshit freelancers. It’s the same underlying model.

I have to say showing you content from blocked channels is the most user hostile thing I encounter on a daily basis. The contempt for one’s users is such a defining feature of this era of late-stage tech.

DoubleClick slowly killed Google search because the best way to make money in display ads is to run clickbait. In the one hand, Google paid good quality websites more money for trash content and engagement bait than quality content. So they

Even prestige publications like The New Yorker use freelancers. This is the same thing, it’s just lower brow content.

I’m super confused as to why this is worth a blog post, let alone the conspiratorial tone. This seems to be a case of knowledge without context being a dangerous thing in the wrong hands.

Yeah the most confusing thing to me is how the hell code that bad ever got so big. It’s literally my go-to example of why the MVC design pattern is so good for web development. There is basically no view/controller separation - you can

Hey now, he spent at least 15 hours a week telling various groups of people at OpenAI petty lies in between dinners with Saudi Princes and sundry well-heeled, gullible, low-lifes. That time is worth money!

It may surprise you, but some people like to program computers for reason other than money. Makes no sense right? Weirdos, all of them!

Those grad students are evaluated on far more than test scores, and the essays matter a ton. US university admissions are even more holistic at the graduate level. The candidates who have good test scores and nothing else get cut in the se

It’s almost as though the SAT score is not the only thing considered in admissions. Unlike many Asian countries, the US doesn’t have some big single exam that determines your life outcome. Remind me of where the best universities in the wor

This is from the horses mouth, and reliable as such. However, it does give the impression that they weren’t sufficiently interested to think more creatively about cost optimization, because they were riding the gravy train of Wintel ruling

Yes but if it is running system-wide services the issue is what is left over? They should not be selling 8GB machines, it was always about being greedy with upgrades. Now they painted themselves in a corner.

People worry about food being stuck in their teeth, saying the “wrong” thing by mistake, and a million other faux pas. If I confused 50% and 1/3rd in public I’d be mortified.
