Turning OpenAI into a Real Business Is Tearing It Apart

An excellent article. Shared this with my family to help convey the craziness that's happening.

Definitely the most impressive level of growth happening at any startup today. I'm curious to see where things head in the future!

It would be ideal if OpenAI were torn apart to bankruptcy, because its creations are destroying society.

NO its not its pushing society forwards and society need to be pushed forwards even SHOVED forward it needs to be accelerated, cars used to be a joke why have this mechanical wonky slow thing when I can just ride my horse on a 5 day trip this car cannot even go that long, then the stables became useless and no horsing around anymore and thus let the robots be and the AI do so we can focus on more difficult tasks that require thinking and focus such as harmonic analysis.

This comment is amazing, it gives me Brad Pitt in 12 Monkeys vibes.

I want a LLaMA tune trained on wherever this came from.

It gave me Carmela gaslighting Tony (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM06kjZ4ecU) vibes, personally.

I actually specialize in harmonic analysis and completely agree!

How is it destroying society?

Creating technology that will make it very much harder to resist technological determinism, which in turn will eventually result in the replacement of human beings, which in turn implies that human well-being will be secondary to technological growth. Perhaps it has already happened.

It's out of the bag. They don't even seem to be leading any more.

Buisnesses are old-school AI. The problem is $ doesn't lead to alignment.

Computer intelligence had a shot at changing things. At this rate AGI will be illegal and profit companies can rule every detail of our tracked and simulated lives.

Altman wants to escape OpenAI’s research roots to focus on shipping products. Anyone that disagrees will get pushed out. Honestly, it’s impressive he’s consolidated his power this effectively - very Stalin esque. It seems going forward he’s going to have complete control.

Sure but he’s not technical and he’s lost a lot of the top technical guys. So what is he building?

A machine that makes VC money into AI products?
