>>EDIT: people have a hard time choosing between

>> 1. Yeah it’s pure slop and completely useless

>> 2. Oh no OpenAI has stolen my ideas and solved all my problems and we have nothing to do

Could it not be all of the above - OAI stole ideas, there is slop in OAI's work given that they themselves retracted a few of the papers?

I am sure Lindy's law is not a general law. Because i have a completely opposite example- How many years can we go by without having a passenger plane crash? as the number of years with no crash increases the chance of something going wrong increases with it. If a crash happened last week, you'd have some sort of sense that okay, it's not going to happen the week after. I can't comment on the causal mechanism, but maybe the collective of people working in the flight industry become more aware after a crash and do their job well.

This is intentional. Companies are actively trying to develop capabilities to replace humans. I am surprised there are not enough protests against this.
