Well, there is no ethical work under capitalism.
Also he clearly has good intentions when it comes to what jobs he seeks.
they not have PR and legal departments
They do, but do you think a brainwormed CEO would ask anyone about what he’s going to babble out, or listen if told to?
I don’t even know what that means, fortunately I guess.
I can’t see the posts since they were removed, so this is amazing. I have no idea how he went from crypto-scented energy whataboutism to transphobia in three comments flat.
Also two bans in three comments is some quality speedrunning, awful-systems any%.
“fairy alien nazi”? What kind of a multiclass is this
Honestly, EU could just operate on an “opposite-day” policy, where they consequently outlaw every business practice Facebook (“Meta”) partakes in, and it would be 99% correct and beneficial to every citizen.
$60 an hour? You could hire someone to be your girlfriend at that rate.
I can be your girlfriend at that rate.
I remember back in 2017 I was commuting somewhere via a tram in Warsaw and I got out near the city center. In front of me there was a gigantic ad on a building, I’m talking like full 6 stories high, and wider still. It was for some brand new smartphone, with 1/3 of the space being taken by the picture of its back, and the rest displaying in large, proud letters “AI POWERED CAMERA”.
It was at this point a shiver down my spine told me it was the end. We were all doomed. Nothing meant anything anymore. Has anything felt real since then? Maybe all the weirdness, all the uncanniness, traces back to that time. Maybe I fell asleep at the tram and never woke up. Maybe someone put me into an Inception-style dream sequence. If you can write that, if you can spend money on having that written and shown to thousands of innocent people, as if it meant anything, fucking anything at all, as if the word “AI” there had any value or, indeed, strict meaning for everyone reading it. Do you think the marketing people that came up with it knew what it meant? Do you think the graphic designer, forced to type those letters with his bare hands, knew what they meant? Do you think the people hired to put it up knew what it meant? Such a long chain of people, starting from some insane exec shitting out “AI GOOD SELL”, and then everyone dutifully rolling that turd along the way until it fell right through my pupils. Such a waste of time, resources, dignity. And for what? And for what.
Now this is the shit. This right here. The only usecase for genAI - massively uncanny shitposts meant for consumption at 3AM in a dark corner of YouTube while on vibes enhancing substances.
This is what god wouldn’t have wanted and therefore is what we must pursue.
Hey, GitHub might be shitty in the browser, but did you consider that it’s also shitty as an Android app?
the mythical Amazon scale
Ah yes, Amazon, the company with literally the shittiest front-end of all in existence. AWS is downright unusable outside of the CLI, but hey, at least they scale??
That’s such a weird notion. My personal projects are the cutest, most groomed pieces of code I write, cause I do it out of my own volition. The code at work? Just any shite that passes the review so that I don’t have to look at that codebase or think about it lest eldritch worms consume my sanity.
Hey, he didn’t update the website to include his research interest in AI, huh, wonder how long he’s been a samurai of that
I know essentally nothing about the US education system but…
If you’re gonna pull credentalist bullshit, maybe at least have the credentials? You took us there mate, I wouldn’t be pulling your degrees up if you didn’t first talk about how formally educated you are…
Jesus cinnamon crunch Christ. At least the blog posts are mercifully short. He somehow manages to have antivaxx nonsense there as well??
This is doubly funny because that already exists, at least in Computer Science, and is called a vision paper. You still need to put in a lot of work, perhaps more, into the bibliography and, you know, actually having compelling stuff to say.
Did no one tell them that “evangelist” is not exactly a positive term? Do they call their sales people “crusaders”, too?
I’m sorry but “evangelist” to me conjures an image of a techbro on a street corner with a makeshift shelf of Google Cloud brochures advertising free documentation study hours.
There’s Jehowa Witnesses doing the same schtick one block over and they’re absolutely furious he took their favourite spot.
Also, speaking from experience trying to do any database work for large corporate clients, no data house is in order. It’s basically saying “assume a spherical cow, then AI works”.
Funny, since my #1 issue with EZ is that he pulls his punches a bit too much IMO. Just call Altman a talentless cunt mate, we all know that deep in our hearts.
