ai startup founders think that if they propagandize their products by making some sort of avant garde 4:3 short film then they’ve made some sort of art but all they’ve made is yet another advertisement and what they’re actually doing is destroying the soul of human culture
starting to think open ai might be the most fascinating place to work in the world rn
i have left every single meeting so far with a new product idea, a new question, or in some cases a completely different mental model of the state of the world
oh, you do “vibes” at an ai company and you signal your wealth by tweeting about how you love wearing $1,500 hoodies?
i hope someday soon you experience a deep and unending loss that makes you rethink all of your life choices and your insatiable need for money and attention
cool use case of chatgpt work i heard last night:
connect your family calendars and explain your kids' interests.
every morning for the drive to school, have it make a podcast that talks about one kid's soccer game that afternoon, one kid's upcoming birthday, some news, etc.
is anyone else a giant weirdo like me when you’re writing a text message and the moment you press send you literally say what you just wrote out loud to yourself?
“Hi, I make millions of dollars at OpenAI, and our mission is to spread propaganda that suggests we’re against small elite groups making world-altering decisions, even though that’s exactly what we’re doing.”
one of the most beautiful things about OpenAI is that every employee really has a voice.
i wanted to capture what it feels like to work here, what our mission means to me, and why you should join us. so i made this video with Codex, shared it with the team, and they felt it was worth producing and sharing with the world.
this is our mission. and it’s why i’m here.
I see people dunking on this but like look around. To like 98% of people this is the dream. The podcast circuit is dominated by ceos, opportunists, stolen valor pillheads, rise and grind vampires, war criminals, the cia, and military contractors. We shouldn’t know who most of these people are. It shouldn’t matter who the new autonomous drone manufacturer ceo is but these are the things people aspire to be when the only thing left is rape. It’s a rape economy. There’s no art but there’s lots of raping and killing and bombing. Everyone wants to be like Kevin OLeary and hold the shiny object and weep. Not because it’s beautiful but because all the good in our world was sacrificed for it. And now there’s nothing left
What really happened they forced delivery drivers to be paid minimum wage of $22/hr. This wage is paid by higher fees passed on to DoorDash or Uber customer. Since the customer was already paying these higher fees, these apps made tipping optional.
Then New York required them to also be tipped on top of the higher fees. So now New York residency get to enjoy paying both a high base pay and a tip on top of it. The customer is double-paying for delivery.
All of this cost is passed onto the New Yorker resident. They’re paying more than the market demands for a product and service because of market manipulation.
No value is created. It’s only transferred from some people to other people, and efficiency is lost.
Also, you may ask, are restaurant servers in New York required to be paid $22/hr and required to be tipped on top of that? Nope, they are paid by tip only. So there’s also no logical consistency even in their own city.

The NYT needs a conservative columnist. They must meet NYT standards for fact-checking, but present arguments readers will not otherwise encounter. My recommendations: Richard Hanania, Sohrab Ahmari, Wilfred Reilly, Noah Rothman, Jason Chaffetz, Eli Lake, Charles C. W. Cooke, Robby Soave, Amy Chua, or Rob Henderson.
Discounting everything else, what an amazing example they chose to showcase their product with. Forgetting your own anniversary. Advertised to adult babies uninterested in the world they live in
Nobody seems to understand this but I cannot stress enough that a judge told Anthropic that training their AI models didn't constitute copyright violation as long as they 'transferred' the text instead of 'copying' it, legally necessitating the destruction of the books
Zuckerberg writing this shit with a straight face when his entire business model has been to become an absolute power which has led to unsafe and negative outcomes is something else
