TBH, I hadn't heard of him until now. Looks like he's had a crazy legit professional career. I'd put him at the top for his work at Bullfrog alone.

That Dyson sphere interview should've been a wake up call for the OpenAI faithful.

Altman is a consummate liar and manipulator with no moral scruples. I think this LLM business is ethically compromised from the start, but Dario is easily the least worst of the three.

Much appreciated! Edit: Ah, so the fake investment announcements started from the very beginning. Incredible.

All the manipulation and lying that got him fired.

All these giant non-binding investment announcements are just a massive confidence scam.

Not long ago, someone here thought OpenAI bulls investing in MSFT could be a good way to indirectly profit from OpenAI. I pointed out that you really had to weigh that against Microsoft's potential risks (pretty banal advice, really).

I get what they're doing. I've never seen that phrasing before.

Apologies for the tangent, but isn't this like saying "sliced tomato featuring BLT sandwich"?

Whoops, I misremembered. G-Sync Pulsar works with a 360Hz panel, claims perceived motion clarity comparable to 1000Hz+.

We're getting awfully close to recreating CRT qualities with modern display panels. A curved 4:3 1000Hz OLED panel behind glass, and an integrated RetroTink 4K with G-Sync Pulsar support would do it. Then add in a simulated degauss eff

Not sure what your point is when we're talking about cars, where fixed physical controls are demonstrably more usable and safer for drivers that need to keep their eyes on the road. Multiple manufacturers have pulled back from excessiv

Again, the comparison was between a dog and a manager. There's zero insinuation that a manager is like an owner and an employee like a dog. It does feel like you're looking for a pretext to feel slighted here. That aside, I comple

I mean, that works too. Unless the resulting concussion, brain damage, or death means they don't make the association with their slight.

by pinnochio 9mo ago
Indeed. I've had a few of those. I also had a couple that were really good.

Having a documented effect and effect size puts this in terms that can change manager behavior, even a somewhat callous one, because they can see how it affects their own professional goals. Btw, the comparison was between the dog and manag

I suppose the employee-getting-revenge-on-manager equivalent would be playing some loud, annoying sound immediately after the slight, and then engaging in absenteeism and cutting work early later on.

I wonder if this is generationally specific. I'm an American and have zero expectation that anybody at work should acknowledge my birthday. On the other hand, I can understand feeling slighted if the manager consistently recognizes the

There's a lot of jeering, I suspect at the headline more than anything, but having documented research can be helpful in changing management behavior. The changes in employee behavior documented here are not ones that managers would ea
