          Which is why the choice to embrace math is a hard one. You could be rich, but at the same time you spend your life with your only friend being a homicidal maniac.

                    Well that’s an odd fucking mix: a universal declaration of human rights ratified by 48 countries and a 1000 page service agreement 30% of the planet has agreed to but no one has ever read.

                      Apple put on a pedestal as equivalent to the moral aspirations of 48 nations as a means of fobbing off concerns about what’s going to monetized and weaponized- sounds about right.

                        Doesn’t sound worthy of 2B seed funding to you?!

                          @tigger TBH, it’s more worthy than a competing project, which is trained on the posts on Truth Social.

                            So Altman is going back to OpenAI and they are adding board members so that the previous ones cannot do anything. I want my money back.

                                Binge rights it is! I don’t think you can buy OpenAI stock really. And I’d buy MS stock only moments before it will drop by 50%

                                    Satya Nadella must be feeling like the jilted lover. Although it’s still not a bad outcome for MS, it’s not quite the coup that having the rights to GPT and having maybe half of OpenAI working for Microsoft would have been.

                                            Not that I’d do it but, it must be satisfying to leave a company, publicly name and slam your boss as incompetent and have it go to the top of Hacker News.

                                            Take Jeanine Banks, for example, who manages the department that somewhat arbitrarily contains (among other things) Flutter, Dart, Go, and Firebase. Her department nominally has a strategy, but I couldn’t leak it if I wanted to; I literally could never figure out what any part of it meant, even after years of hearing her describe it. Her understanding of what her teams are doing is minimal at best; she frequently makes requests that are completely incoherent and inapplicable. She treats engineers as commodities in a way that is dehumanising, reassigning people against their will in ways that have no relationship to their skill set. She is completely unable to receive constructive feedback (as in, she literally doesn’t even acknowledge it). I hear other teams (who have leaders more politically savvy than I) have learned how to “handle” her to keep her off their backs, feeding her just the right information at the right time.
