Why are you so intent on riding big corpo cock? Do you think daddy Altman is going to praise you, call you his good girl?
You don’t actually need to play devil’s advocate, you know.

I'm also on the regex list, but oddly I don't have the trailing $, so if I made an account like, oDojan, that'd not be caught. I'm not alone in not having a $, but a lot of people do.
Maybe something cute about how it's nice that he died doing what he loved; public executions that children should be forced to watch.
Then again, it's been so long since he kirked the bucket, it's kind of nice to just let him remain an unimportant and forgotten thing of the past.
Isn't that mostly in the line of intrusive thoughts, though? Like having a little voice in your head that goes "damn girl u hot today" sounds nice, but when you have impulses like, "aww look, my dog is sleeping, I SHOULD FUCKING CHOKE HIM OUT AND DUMP HIM OUT THE WINDOW" that's... less welcome.
The voices depicted in stories are never pleasant and that's why people get distressed over them.
I've a friend who lives with hallucinations. It's not so much that they struggle telling what's a hallucination and what's reality apart, it's more that they get in the way. They know that the forest that's replaced their hallway and has panicked animals running through it isn't real, but that doesn't make it less stressful.
The software I had needs GPU acceleration and I couldn’t be arsed fixing that. At the time I had an NVidia GPU as well, and that makes things extra shit.
There are a few tools like that, including one by Microsoft themselves (winget), but nothing is centralised and not everything will be available via it.
I just want to get my work done. It’s bananas how much faff is in the way.
Had to boot my work Windows laptop a while ago, because the software I have to work on uses some stupid Windows sign in thing, and I wasn't fast enough getting Kerberos working before everyone went on vacation.
I'd forgotten that every single piece of software handles its own updates, and to install anything you have to like, go around to different places and download it. It's crazy.
Nevermind the file manager making a dozen HTTP requests every time you launch it.
You just reminded me.
At one point I had Windows take up two drives, one for boot and one for games. However, I only ever really used it for this one piece of software that I couldn't get working on Linux, so I nuked it and reinstalled Windows on the smallest drive I have, just for that software.
Two weeks later I got the software working on Linux, and I completely forgot I even have a Windows partition up until now. It's been months.
I'm so heartened by the comments here, because it's such an obvious marketing ploy.
The market is speculative, a value isn't in what a company produces, but in the investments people make in it because of the potential of future profits. It's why a company can produce absolutely nothing of value at all and still be valued highly, see Theranos. This means that if you can sell an idea hard enough, you can get a lot of investors to give you money, which is fantastic for you up until the point the checks are due and you have nothing to show for it.
Scam Altman has come with so many lofty goals, general intelligences, 100 billion in profit by 2030, which is rich for a company that's not pushing even a dollar in profit. Where are they going to scrounge up 100 billion in 3½ years?
So how convenient isn't it then, if they had a secret model that they're testing, suddenly go rogue in the exact kind of scenario that AI safety researchers have been talking about for well over a decade at this point? Truly, for AI to have advanced this much, and manage to circumvent even the safeguards that OpenAI, a company founded on the very tenet of AI safety and openness have placed on it? This model must be worth all that money! They're getting somewhere!
Only, how would such a thing even happen? OpenAI is after all one of the global leaders of AI research. You're saying that they, despite all of their knowledge in AI safety, test their models on hardware that isn't airgapped? Or did the model somehow physically project into the real world and hook itself up to the internet? Or was it able to vibrate the atoms around it in a way to connect to WiFi despite the hardware it was running on not having a wireless card?
Surely a company of such renown wouldn't be so stupid.
It's a marketing ploy. It's an incredibly dumb marketing ploy, but they saw that it worked for Anthropic with their nothingburger "too dangerous to release" model, so they orchestrated something similar.
Yeah, they always have.
Like, he has his own bodyguards or security agency?
Very few politicians here have that. No idea if he does, but it doesn't seem likely.
They are a local political party operating out of the town Örebro, they have some regional seats in the region that's also called Örebro.
Local and regional politics is still important though. Having fascists diddle around with that is bad news.
I don't know that that's a bad thing. If you use these models, you are complicit; you're part of creating the "need" for these models. You don't necessarily have a choice (because realistically losing your job and all the stuff that entails isn't a real choice, and that's fully part of how the system is intended to work), but you're still complicit.
We as individuals don't have a lot of power, because power is mostly tied to some kind of capital. That's why working together is so important, because it's only by working together we'll have any real power to impact things.
I don't think being upset is a bad thing. Recognise it, and do something about it. It could be something small like talking to colleagues about it, or contacting a union representative, or a politician. Or go big, no shame in that either.
