This is common rhetoric that feels overly reductionist and makes me sad. Sam got fired and his response was to manipulate and pressure his employees into a shameful, cult-like letter, and play the media to character assassinate Toner as bei

I assume you're trolling, but in case otherwise: The reason media training exists is to win over people like you. I know people high up at OpenAI, I'm quite sure Altman etc. don't care either; the only difference is, they&#x2

You prefer Altman -- someone who will lie and cheat and backstab and work on autonomous military drones and video generators and adult chatbots, give his entire life and being, in order to amass as much power and influence as he can -- beca

Mine as well. I pay for Gemini and Claude but prefer Gemini. I don't understand the hate Gemini gets on this site. It is quite well-rounded, it is often better at tasks without benchmarks, like translation, but nobody gives credit wher

I agree, but I'm taking as an axiom that some amount of bribery (tribute, really) had to be done, that Apple could avoid massive government retribution. In that lens, this bribery, while bad, is the least destructive form it could ha

It's fair to say there is not much contrast. But he's kept Apple's DEI and climate commitments in place even after being attacked directly, while Zuckerberg, Musk and Altman are proactively broadcasting right-wing talking poi

I admire how Tim Cook participates in US politics. He is doing the most while giving the least. I would do the same in his position, he is making the best of a difficult situation, and it is his duty to protect his company and employees. Gi

People got attached to ELIZA. Why would I care what the general public thinks?

I think of how trading firms cannot say their strategies, as they would lose their effectiveness. Or how many people know that many CEOs and leaders are idiots, but cannot say it, as they would face retribution.

That is not what the article says, it says $19B ARR. I don’t necessarily see a contradiction. $19B run rate, achieved very recently, is actually consistent with $5B lifetime earnings, because their growth curve is so sharp. Zitron is not go

The people recruited weren’t experts. I can imagine it’s straightforward to find humans (such as those that play many video games) that can score >100% on this benchmark.

The metric is very similar to cost. It seems odd to justify one and not the other.

Gamers complain about layoffs, but the largest invisible cause behind them is Steam’s 30% cut, which nobody acknowledges.

No, he is also good at networking. When OpenAI was mission-driven and Sam was more respected, he could convince the most talented people to work for him. Now the talent is going to other places for a variety of reasons, not all due to Sam (

I see you're treating Sam Altman as some kind of trustworthy source. Might it be possible that he's making that up -- of course, nobody will ever call him on it! -- and exaggerating the numbers to make his company and team look

Reporting at the time said Wang was far from Zuck’s top choice. Murati and Ilya (among others) were all asked first and said no.

Agreed, but the comment should mention it. Nobody is talking about value for money right now. I didn't mean to advocate for Anthropic, apologies.

What a baffling comment. Aren’t you aware of why this exodus is happening? (It’s not related to “value for the money”!) What are your feelings on that part?

My guess would be ~$30mm. MyFitnessPal itself, which generates the most revenue of all health&fitness apps, was sold as an undesirable asset for $345 million a few years ago and probably do not have mountains of cash sitting around. Cal

Sam (and Greg Brockman) want something they do not have, very desperately. They want to win , to be Great Men, to be remembered by history with Jobs and Gates and the other tech luminaries. This is mentioned in Karen Hao's Empire of

The President is crashing out on X because a company didn’t do what they wanted. “Forcing” is not a binary. Do you seriously believe that the government’s behavior here is acceptable and has no chilling effect on future companies?

I credit them for acknowledging their limitations and not actively trying to be misleading. Unlike a certain other company in the space.

What an untalented writer. His prose is clunky and every paragraph drips with sanctimony and reaching generalizations.

Understandable worry, but it's not surface-level at all. Karen Hao is a great journalist. Highly recommend.

Said publisher also claims Rona directly admitted plagiarism to them. That’s probably why they’re so confident.
