GO TO AUDIBLE.COM/REPENTHARLEQUIN TO ENTER A COMA AND ESCAPE THIS MADNESS

New post from Ed Zitron just dropped which goes into a lotta detail on OpenAI's finances around the time the deal was closing.

I've already cracked one Kendrick reference, so fuck it:

psst I see dead people

And probably also an opportunity to dunk on Mullenweg for free PR

You're a podcast bro, you have absolutely nothing of value to give humanity, please fuck off and never come back

ah, sweet, manmade horrors beyond my comprehension:

(This would've been more shocking to me in 2023, but after over a year in this bubble I have stopped expecting anything resembling basic human decency from those who work in AI)

If we're lucky, it'll cut off promptfondlers' supply of silicon and help bring this entire bubble crashing down.

It'll probably also cause major shockwaves for the tech industry at large, but by this point I hold nothing but unfiltered hate for everyone and everything in Silicon Valley, so fuck them.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Have you considered

I vaguely remember mentioning this AI doomer before, but I ended up seeing him openly stating his support for SB 1047 whilst quote-tweeting a guy talking about OpenAI's current shitshow:

I've had this take multiple times before, but now I feel pretty convinced the "AI doom/AI safety" criti-hype is going to end up being a major double-edged sword for the AI industry.

The industry's publicly and repeatedly hyped up this idea that they're developing something so advanced/so intelligent that it could potentially cause humanity to get turned into paperclips if something went wrong. Whilst they've succeeded in getting a lot of people to buy this idea, they're now facing the problem that people don't trust them to use their supposedly world-ending tech responsibly.

Saw an unexpected Animatrix reference on Twitter today - and from an unrepentant promptfondler, no less:

This ended up starting a lengthy argument with an "AI researcher" (read: promptfondler with delusions of intelligence), which you can read if you wanna torture yourself.

oh hey its that reoccurring thought I have about the "AI Safety" criti-hype popping back into my head

Expanding on that, part of me feels Altman is gonna find all the rhetoric he made about "AI doom" being used against him in the future - man's given the true believers reason to believe he'd commit omnicide-via-spicy-autocomplete for a quick buck.

Hell, the true believers who made this pretty explicitly pointed out Altman's made arguing for regulation a lot easier:

Not a sneer, but ~~Kendrick~~ Ed Zitron just dropped.

Its damn good as usual, with Zitron taking aim at the current state of SaaS and tying it into his previous sneers on AI.
