ehh. even in the original text it rapidly decays into anything that annoys him is a hyperkludge. Successful things have problems that are only problems of success.

the new FB standards guy is a Heritage Foundation guy, he would be the precise vector

oh they know what's causing it lol

just when you think you're at the bottom of the Marianas Trench, the rationalists take you lower

jesus fuck how did i never see this before

we could have written another 1000 words, there was so much dumb AI shit

they literally did actually

At the direction of, and with financial support from, the GRU, CGE and its personnel used generative AI tools to quickly create disinformation that would be distributed across a massive network of websites designed to imitate legitimate news outlets to create false corroboration between the stories, as well as to obfuscate their Russian origin. CGE built a server that hosts the generative AI tools and associated AI-created content, in order to avoid foreign web-hosting services that would block their activity. The GRU provided CGE and a network of U.S.-based facilitators with financial support to: build and maintain its AI-support server; maintain a network of at least 100 websites used in its disinformation operations; and contribute to the rent cost of the apartment where the server is housed. Korovin played a key role in coordinating financial support from the GRU to his employees and U.S.-based facilitators.

that's news not socials, but we are seeing LLMs deployed by social media bot networks

$20/mo sounds like a reasonable subscription-ish price, so he picked that. That OpenAI loses money on every query, well, let's build up volume!

Ed Zitron calculated from the publicly available numbers that OpenAI was spending $2.35 for every $1 of ChatGPT they sell

this sounds like an attempt to demand others disprove the assertion that they're losing money, in a discussion of an article about Sam saying they're losing money

the important point is for Sam not to make any statement that wouldn't qualify as forward-looking statements. This helps dodge the SEC busting them for lying to investors, like Theranos and FTX.

Amazon lost money so if OpenAI loses money it must be Amazon

one guess

you know it baybee, the one true paperclip maximiser

write a series of blog posts about it, all of which end "And in conclusion, punch a Nazi."
