Step 1: go on record
Step 2: punch self in crotch
Step 3: have someone else angrily insist you didn’t and/or that should be stricken from the record because you yelped.
Everything looks by-the-book here.
Or - OR, right, we could delete facebook instagram and whatsapp and never use them again.

Uh
And I agree with you. Good luck taking down the Supreme Court! Go get ‘em!
And OpenAI is getting desperate. According to Fortune, OpenAI’s culture is deeply brittle, with a “relentless pressure to introduce products” rushing its o1 model to market as Sam Altman was “eager to prove to potential investors in the company’s latest funding round that OpenAI remains at the forefront of AI development” despite staff saying it wasn’t ready.
These aren’t the actions of a company that’s on the forefront of anything — they’re desperate moves made by desperate people burning the candle at both ends.
Yet, once you get past these problems, you run head-first into the largest one: that generative AI is deeply unprofitable to run. When every subscriber or API call loses you money, growth only exists to help flog your company to investors, and at some point investors will begin to question whether this company can stand on its own two feet.
It can’t.
OpenAI is a disaster in the making, and behind it sits a potentially bigger, nastier disaster — a lack of any real strength in the generative AI market. If OpenAI can only make a billion dollars as the leader in this market (with $200 million of that coming from Microsoft reselling its models), it heavily suggests that there is neither developer nor user interest in generative AI products.
Whew. It’s brutal.
You take that back!
Corporations are people, my friend
Is there a transcript?
That’s true. But still. Duh.
Wow, they fired a lot of people.
Eh. Maybe a glass or two. At this level, you’re just fishing around for violent thrills.
Only if you read the news, which is designed to repeat horrible things all day.
Fortunately you can reverse-engineer it: don’t read the news, and your faith in humanity will increase.
Unless you’re referring to Evangelicals, I’d disagree entirely.
At this point, I’m wondering what part of their enormous black-budget portfolio pissed off the wrong person.
Do those customers include the US government?
Reader, they do.
Excellent.
