OpenAI, selling its users out while still not making a profit 🤣.

Misread this as “tokemaxing.” And if you’ve ever had to work at a warehouse… yeah.

In a row?!

Amongst his many moral lapses he fooled around behind Lalla Ward’s back, and that makes me angry.

I miss Mitch 😢

“But I want to document what you say!”

“AI is great!”

There are people who are stuck in the circle of selling back old games to help pay for their next game.

Good, good – teach the children that authority is bullshit. This kind of thing is more effective than book learnin’.

Somewhere after refining your prompt for the tenth time because weird unsexy shit keeps showing up in the results, you have to ask yourself whether or not it’d be worth it to just learn to draw, no?

“If your prod can be deleted by your AI, it should be.”

They couldn’t cram as many ads as they wanted into it.

Musk is an idiot, but I’m sure he was salivating over all the potential launch fees SpaceX would rake in if some doo-doo brain decided to actually haul a chip foundry into orbit.

Completely fair, and I definitely agree with your point.

I did. As well written as it is, I don’t think the premise of “the REAL doomers were the CEOs!” is going to spread far enough to dethrone the present, much more popular understanding of what an AI doomer is. It didn’t seem worth addressing. We’ll see though; perhaps every time someone says “AI doomer” on Lemmy, some wag will reply with, “Um a-kually, I think you’ll find the tech CEOs are the real doomers, LOL.”

As to the the notion that the dangers these techbros have released are now coming home to roost: it’s overstated. In my opinion, the techbros will continue not to give the merest shit about the harms they’ve caused, and one misguided soul with a molly isn’t going to change that – or bring back all the dead people LLMs contributed to killing. Will it increase the CEO’s feelings of paranoia? My dude, the wealthy are already maximally paranoid.

LLMs are responsible for more deaths than doomers are.

Wait, so Firefox is switching to (web)Kit?

buying multi-TB drives like they’re nothing!

😭

Surprise surprise. If you go through Techdirt’s archives, you can see Mike Masnick has spent thousands of words losing his shit any and every time Facebook has faced ANY criticism. I don’t know if he has a financial interest in them (like he does with Bluesky) but the moment someone suggests reining them in, here comes Masnick to defend one of the richest, most lawyer-ed up companies around.
