        Doesn’t lob have one of these? Some of the carbon soot in the oven could have baked itself into a diamond on his GPU…

          Has anybody tried backing ketchup into their GPU? That could be the secret sauce!

              Google Sues Men Who Weaponized DMCA Notices to Crush Competition * TorrentFreak

              Google Sues Men Who Weaponized DMCA Notices to Crush Competition * TorrentFreak

              Two men who allegedly bombarded Google with fraudulent DMCA takedown notices targeting up to 620,000 URLs are being sued by Google.

              Google goes on to highlight its position as a major intermediary that processes DMCA notices targeting 600 million URLs every year, and the requirement under the DMCA to remove or disable content notified as allegedly infringing. If the company fails to act expeditiously once in receipt of a DMCA notice that complies with the statutory requirements, the company risks losing its safe harbor protection, Google notes.

              That last line explains why DMCA enforcement on YouTube is such a criminally unfair mess. Not surprised it’s the legislators fault.

                Most of the legislators are almost Tazz’s age and would be better at regulating wagon wheel builders than internet companies. Also why can’t those Viet Cong assholes just stop abusing the system?

                    Ransomware gang files SEC complaint over victim’s undisclosed breach

                    The ALPHV/BlackCat ransomware operation has taken extortion to a new level by filing a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission complaint against one of their alleged victims for not complying with the four-day rule to disclose a cyberattack.

                          I hope he removed the guts first. Even a drill-stop would not have helped.

                                      This openai thing is weird. Whoever did it had no support from the investors and not they are trying to put things back the way it was. Would be funny if next week Altman was back in and the board out on their ass.

                                        I obviously haven’t read the company by-laws but I’d be surprised if they managed to get control. Seems from everything I’ve read including your link that he set it up for the board to operate like it did. There might be an injunction but it would take a long while to play out in court I think.

                                        But they presumably aren’t going to be able to spin up a new company and have it be competitive / reach parity with OpenAI overnight either. And then there will probably be accusations of IP theft and contract breach etc that might also play out in the courts.

                                          Usually the shareholders can fire the board though so we will see. Definitely asshole like Lob will get rich on this one.

                                            Altman is “ambivalent” and wants governance changes.
