There are more incentives to flaunt success then bankruptcy. Even if the success isn’t real.

My company specializes in selling to underserved communities in the AMEA region. Can your product help me connect with LGBT customers specifically in the Sudan and Saudi Arabia? Thanks!

PS can I get their exact addresses as well as the addresses of their family members and community leaders?

An administrator would’ve missed a promotion.

We shouldn’t detach responsibility from the publisher and author.

A lot of the stock gains had nothing to do with Teslas executive decisions during that time frame.

I strongly disagree. Wildly overvalued companies disrupt the economy and present huge risks - see Tesla or Nvidia (currently valued at $100m per employee - $3T market cap / 30k employees)

I have no clue how they can sell games that don’t even start and the App Store allows it.

Edit: looks like it was fixed in May 2024 including a reset of its App Store reviews? So you can sell a product that doesn’t work at all and Apple will flush all your bad reviews when you get it working? Nice.

And yet the market can remain irrational longer then you can remain liquid. We do not live in a fair market.

Next to TikTok they’re better moralistically. Next to Sam Altman, I mean OpenAI, they’re better moralistically. Next to other companies doing layoffs they’re better moralistically (biggest exit packages?)

With inflation, layoffs, and lack of union representation, I suspect software engineering median salaries outside major hubs to stagnate rapidly.

An honest release of this feature would have a “turn it off” button right next to it and I’m not seeing one.

Crypto failed because it could never be honest about its trade offs and the reasons for centralization in the first place. It couldn’t be honest about its flaws because then VCs and private equity would make less money.

LLMs as an immediate panacea is failing because it can’t be honest about what actual intelligence is, where human-computer-interaction is, and its ultimate goal of culling jobs. It couldn’t be honest about its flaws because then VCs and private equity would make less money.

If only there was some pattern involved here we could avoid the pitfalls of these hype cycles - the pitfalls that end up in a whole lot of people being worse off and a couple new Lake Tahoe vacation home purchases.

That’s how it happens.

We’ve seen a huge shift of wealth in the last twenty years in no small part passing through and at the insistence of Venture Capital and Private Equity. AI will be used to again accelerate this with more layoffs more outsourcing and lower quality services captured.

Sam’s statement partially contradicts this by saying they contracted the voice actor before ScarJo - but I believe there’s enough intent shown in ScarJos original tweet that Sam as a default disregarded the entire interaction as an inconvenience where he could be “naughty” and get away without consequences.
