OpenAI is CoreWeave. CoreWeave is OpenAI. SoftBank is now both CoreWeave and OpenAI, and if SoftBank buckles, both CoreWeave and OpenAI are dead. For this situation to work even for the next year, these companies will have to raise tens of billions of dollars just to maintain the status quo.

You’d think if that was easily disprovable, someone would want to do that.

The leaders behind the funding, functionality, and media coverage of the tech industry have abdicated their authority so severely that the consensus is that it’s fine that OpenAI burns $5 billion a year, and it’s also fine that OpenAI, or Anthropic, or really any other generative AI company has no path to profitability. Furthermore, it’s fine that these companies are destroying our power grid and our planet, and it’s also fine that they stole from millions of creatives while simultaneously undercutting those creatives in an already-precarious job market.

Amazing, as always. That AI is . . . what it is.

russian psyops gets quasi-dimensional

It’s a great idea (afaict Voyager doesn’t have an export function), that would help a bunch of new people to get going I think.

Look, criminal defense is the only thing against the oppression of the state at the point in which they strip away your liberties and everything else. They’re not obliged to do anything except defend the client.

The State (the prosecution) is obliged to follow every law, allow every right, and seek capital-J Justice.

“will it work” is not the question for the defense, Granuiad. It’s the question for the state.

It shows [# replies] but nothing below.

The Times lays out, in as gentlemanly terms as possible, how fucked up this would be:

It would […] bring into sharp relief the questions about Mr. Musk’s conflicts of interest as he ranges widely across the federal bureaucracy while continuing to run businesses that are major government contractors. In this case, Mr. Musk, the billionaire chief executive of both SpaceX and Tesla, is a leading supplier to the Pentagon and has extensive financial interests in China.

So our educated hypothesis on this remains “got caught, deny, deny, deny.” (Adding support to that hypothesis is that Elon is now whining and promising that “those at the Pentagon who are leaking maliciously false information” will be prosecuted. How does one “leak” maliciously false information, praytell, Mr. South African nepo dipfuck?)

. . . The Times notes that the Wall Street Journal also independently confirmed that Elon was invited for the China Secrets briefing, and adds in the very next paragraph “Whatever the meeting will now be about …” as a transition phrase. So that’s funny. Also funny? Josh Marshall notes that the Wall Street Journal confirmed the story after Trump denied it.

Oh don’t worry - FEMA will still be there. Only instead of providing shelter and food, they’ll be arresting everyone and transferring them to “camps” in El Salvador. /s?

Y’know back in the 80’s there was a wild conspiracy theory that the government was going to take over and put everyone in camps under a secret organization known as FEMA that had the power to suspend the Constitution.

At the time, no one had heard of FEMA and conspiracy theorists were, as per usual, mocked for believing the government had gone to the trouble of creating an agency just to ship people off to camps.

They were also mocked for saying the government recorded all the communications going in and out of the country.

Good times. Good times.

Oh boy half the comments in here I can’t see because I blocked people. Hee hee!

Well, whatever you’re saying, I’m glad I can’t see it.

Thanks Obama!

fwiw this is what I’ve been saying since November. Just have Bernie and AOC tell us which way to jump. Then - we do that.

Yeah I know.

I wish it made any sense at all, but it doesn’t. And I can’t try any longer. That they would give this kind of idiot lip service to the organization working to kill more kids - that’s above and beyond.

Yeah, that’s probably the difference

Did you miss the article where local officials were giving out meat grinders to the parents of the KIA?

It’s . . . not . . . I don’t . . i mean. Yeah. Putin’s an absolute monster.

Okay, and fair enough, but I don’t want anything going to anyone. If it’s apple, it’s at least part of that DPA and it’s part of the whole deal, but OpenAI can gtfo of my phone. That’s a hard no.

Even then - what, find all the pictures of my dog bucky and message them to grandma? I guess? Put pushpin icons on the map where all my phot -oh wait it already does that. Umm . . how many of my phone contacts are Masons? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I dunno - I just don’t know what I’d use it for.

The deceased girl’s father insisted that measles helps build up a person’s immune system. “Also the measles are good for the body for the people,” the father said, explaining “You get an infection out.”

Oh, I get it. I hate my little girl too.

Additionally, police discovered that Kim redacted certain details related to former Defense Security Command chief Yeo In-hyung and former Special Warfare Command chief Kwak Jong-keun when he voluntarily submitted part of the secret phone record ledger to the prosecution on Jan. 25.

>ChatGPT$: what is perjury

Why, what, is there something different about the Google guy?

Anyone know the number of Americans killed in Vietnam without looking it up?

ChatGPT is there to understand the language and context of the request

Like, how? Or why? I admit I don’t use Siri hardly at all but the most I wanted from it was making a note, calling someone, or getting a simple search back. ChatGPT only does the latter that I know of, and its answers are often poorly sourced and often very wrong.

I don’t know - based on that - why I’d let it near anything actually important.
