It’s like everyone learned the wrong lessons about the dotcom bubble

And people who keep repeating this dumb shit probably visit 50 .com’s a day…

The dotcom bubble didn’t rid us of dotcoms. Neither will the AI “bubble”.

I’m not expecting AI or dotcoms to go away. It’s a way for the right people to get rich before they move on to pumping something else.

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

Wonder if his pivot to politics is because that is a better fit for his seemingly low attention span and high need for novelty/excitement or if it is because he is starting to realize that he can’t keep promising this forever. (both of course).

Ironically so far it looks like it is capable 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.

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

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!

No expenses. In fact sell the office buildings too.

Or they’ll be “AGI” — A Guy Instead.

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
