Sam Altman has never been more washed. Green text posting to whine about how nobody is impressed by his unimpressive unsustainable software. Too big to be acquired, too shitty to go public, unprofitable forever, OpenAI, I live for this shit
Sam Altman tweet:
>be me
> grind for a decade trying to help make superintelligence to cure cancer or whatever
›mostly no one cares for first 7.5 years, then for 2.5 years everyone hates you for everything
›wake up one day to hundreds of messages: "look i made you into a twink ghibli style haha"

Lots of writers with lots of great ideas, but absolutely no one wants to take the risk of funding them. Because the AI told them it will flop.

It's sad that you can't trust a single photo on here to be authentic anymore. If people want to create fake photos that's fine, but I want a law that states any AI-generated or otherwise doctored photo must have an indicator below it indicating such. Same with videos.

As we speak, an unelected billionaire, born in South Africa, is staging an unconstitutional coup in the United States, shutting down an agency that happened to fight the apartheid regime he and his family thrived under as rich whites. Now take a moment and read that again. the.ink/p/usaid-foug...

No one has ever done this—TWICE—by accident. On camera. Before an international audience. Again, I've lived a long time. I have never done a Nazi salute. My parents, uncles, in-laws, etc would have gone berserk. I've seen this explained away as "autism." If so, keep him miles away from govt.

The thing I took from this was that between 2020 to now, inflation in total has been 20.6%. So… if your salary hasn’t raised that much in the last four years, you’ve also been taking a pay cut. Wage theft, man. These billionaires need to be checked, hard 😤

When someone believes that it’s OK or advantageous to live in an inequitable society, it’s not enough to point out to them that it causes suffering, because they think it’s part of the natural order of things.

Yes. All of these people please stop vaccinating and go out into the woods to drink from natural springs. And then do not seek medical treatment after. That is only your body purging itself of impurities. Soon you will be clean. And with God.

Real life is not like science fiction, where the power usage required for processing rarely, if ever, factors into the plot. I still care very much about the ethics of AI usage but I really think its environmental and infrastructural impact desperately needs more exposure.

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image. All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.
