We’ll destroy the environment and ruin the economy, but for 1 month you’ll have amazing profits while you don’t have to pay wages!

What if we just fire all the employees except the CEO? Just hear me out.

No expenses. In fact sell the office buildings too.

Ironically so far it looks like it is capable to replace execs.

It’s easier and cheaper to just use parrots to replace execs.

This isn’t stopping execs from laying workers off in droves and mandating AI replacements.

They have been wanting to fire those workers for the past 4 years, but now they can do it in a way that won’t spoke shareholders.

Replacing execs is the easiest thing to do, since all it takes is someone who is more than willing to fuck up the workers in the name of profit, no actual skills required.

How’s it going? The Wall Street Journal looked at five “agents” that are totally in real production use, guys. Three of the “agents” generate plans under close human supervision. Two of the “agents” are chatbots — showing how the real future of agents is simply to rebrand existing systems as “agents.” Or they’ll be “AGI” — A Guy Instead. [WSJ]

Seriously. Everyone putting money on this is a total schmuck.

I’m afraid they’re putting so much money into it, that it becomes too big to fail. The behemoths will push onwards, but the smallest investors will lose.

The end-game for AI (and Crypto, increasingly) is to incorporate into federal systems and financial systems in such a way that they can’t be removed without gutting departments or upsetting major donors.

These are entirely parasitic organizations. They only exist to deplete the assets of the organizations they latch onto.

Lol. This is perfect. Can we please adopt this everywhere.

As for the OpenAI statement… it’s interesting how it starts with “We are now confident […]” to make people think “ooh now comes the real stuff”… but then it quickly makes a sharp turn towards weasel words: “We believe that […] we may see […]” . I guess the idea is that the confidence from the first part is supposed to carry over to the second, while retaining a way to later say “look, we didn’t promise anything for 2025”. But then again, maybe I’m ascribing too much thoughtfulness here, when actually they just throw out random bullshit, just like their “AI”.

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.

Sam better have a savings account exclusively to pay for lawyers once Microsoft realizes buying 49% of OpenAI was a mistake.

Or not, it’d be hella fun seeing him get fucked in court
