@tigger Snow is very judgemental though.
I think it’s very indiscriminate, you could even say WOKE!!!, in it’s killings.

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.

Jam is boosted AF
Nanobuy particles. Hes practically hacked.
He’s more vaccine than man at this point.
We could tell Jam that Microsoft is primarily a provider of an evil cloud that runs on Linux, but he’d just deny it! So let’s not do that.
You have got me on that one!
A man knows when he has been beaten!
I forgot all about Microsoft Revenue 365 products!!!

(for context, MS is $13B into OpenAI, Google is IIRC $2B into Anthropic)

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%

Next time you’re thinking of buying MS shares, please let me know a day or two before.

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.

So, ethics lose and capitalism wins.

Capitalism was always going to win here…at least until the AI wins.

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.

Per linkedin, Jeanine Banks is a serial VP. 2-3 years in a company, then move to another company, ideally to a slightly better position. She’ll be gone from Google in a year, as she already stayed more than 2. These people are the cancer of at least the tech sector but I suspect wider industry. They carry no knowledge, they have no vision, they never built anything, they never constructively worked with their reports. They don’t even do the work they are supposed to, they are just doing the bare minimum while expanding their social circles to land another similar position at a different company.
How can they actually get hired if they are useless? The whole ecosystem is full of them, and they hire people like themselves, because those people help them extend their social circles and move on. Their only saving grace is that they are often not evil people and don’t touch what they don’t understand.
