Whether you’re commencing the work to rule today or not, we’re standing in solidarity with all public sector workers who have been utterly disrespected by this government with continued delays to public service pay talks.
Gov must urgently engage with unions in negotiations to avoid escalation.
![[Scene is an office with OpenAI logo on the wall. SAM ALTMAN is talking to his other founders].
ALTMAN:
Well done guys…
We’ve built a robot that might take everyone’s job, steal all the art,
boil the seas, turn everyone thick, and drag the world into a posthuman nightmare!
FOUNDER 1:
Er - Sam…
Why is that… good?
ALTMAN:
Because if we don’t, then someone else will make it, but be a bit less sad about that.
FOUNDER 1:
Right.
So! What shall we tell the public ahead of the IPO…?
ALTMAN:
Well, I think I should do this face:
[Altman makes his dolorous slow-loris-looking-at-the-ceiling-in-sad-reflection face]
...And then talk a lot about AI destroying the world.
FOUNDER 2:
Yes that’s good that sounds nice.
FOUNDER 1:
And that will make the public give us $60 billion?
ALTMAN:
Ah - here’s the clever bit. Just before the IPO I’ll say…
“Don’t worry everyone, I think I might be talking bollocks.”
FOUNDER 1:
Will they still give us the money?
ALTMAN:
Yes.
