It’s too bad the non-profit oversight board got killed by the for-profit subsidiary. OpenAI is dead on arrival as useful tech. It’s now a vehicle to deceive investors to raise VC cash.

Nobody seems to recognize that madness is not in numbers, but in people.
Scam Altman Freid strikes again
trillion: when billion just doesn't cut it
I don't think money is the missing thing here..
Ah yes, open "ai"...where we parse as many webaites as possible, rank them internally by keyword usage and or views, then have our "bot" spew that shit at you
Since the recent call for fusion energy from an AI company, I wonder if eventually there will be competition for energy. Will there be a point where it is more "cost efficient" (for some) to farm solar energy instead of food, because AI will be more productive per m² than most people? It could appear easier to control, too.
Maybe you could argue that this is already the case, except that most people don't feel it yet, because AI isn't very efficient yet and most resources so far, are only spent in expectation of future results.
to farm solar energy instead of food,
People figured out already this is a "why not both" situation. It's called agrivoltaics what means putting solar panels in a field with crops or animals. A lot of plants benefit from some shade, certainly with climate change and heat waves doing their thing. Other do have a bit lower yield, but having dual income from the land more than makes up for that.
So crazy we should fire this guy (again).
How do they plan to pay that back? Because investors will want a return on investment.
They will use it create a LLM that will create more hype for "AI". This will drive future investment and make line go up.
Nobody needs to make products anymore. You just gotta create hype to get the attention of the billionaires since they're the ones with all the money.
