  • My internal model of OpenAI is that its a shady business. They are in the industry of stealing data and information and transforming it into a service. With all of the drama surrounding their non-profit transition, and the fact that Altman was kicked out for essentially lying; I’m not surprised that figures and numbers leaked and reported to not line up.

    Nevertheless, I kinda hope that AI inference continues to get cheaper. Like it or not, a lot of AI companies are offering their services at a discount in a feeble attempt to get a larger share of the market. This incentives them to basically lie about their capabilities, overpromice and under deliver. If the AI bubble we’re to pop it would be nice if the fallout weren’t as bad, and I think lower inference cost would help with that.







  • This article is great, super information sense, doesn’t try to spin a narrative, just investigates the facts.

    I find it crazy that as a system this guy of all people managed to slip though the cracks. An autist with Hitler’s signature tatooed on his arm, combined with arrests and jail time for stalking and harassing women, and nobody thought to give this guy the mandatory anti radicalization treatment? Kind of insane. Lots of holes in the Swiss Cheese model.

    On the other hand, what could have been done? The guy had no social support network, no family that would have taken care of him. You can’t force someone to have friends, or to get them to take the prerequisite steps to overcome whatever might be holding them back. Getting rid of X? Maybe that would help things in aggregate, but I’m and optimist and believe that people are smart enough to no be racist just because their feed is.
