      Two weeks is all you need to get people to stop asking so many questions. That’s the only thing I learned from Trump.

        Altman is certainly aware of what it takes to be a Jobs-like marketing personality (and probably holds Hubbard-like totalism as a not-so-secret ambition), he’s just not, uh, very good at it. He’s put the most effort into the strictly lower-case, faux-casual persona on Twitter to seem “approachable” in a social media context, and that doesn’t help him at all when trying to actually appear serious.

        I also don’t doubt that he’s beginning to succumb to the yes-man filter bubble that traps so many public personalities. That’s surely made worse by the likelihood that any underlings he might have reviewing this crap are drinking the AI koolaid and “punching everything up!” with a few rounds of ChatGPT.

          that’s one tiny thing I’ll give Altman - he doesn’t seem to have run this through ChatGPT.

          That said, VCs generally use ghost writers.

            Yeah, “thousands of days” seems like a first-draft attempt at “let’s choose a unit of smaller magnitude to make this seem more serious to the plebs.” And everyone around him drowning their brains in GPT slurry shouted, “excellent turn of phrase, sir!”

        give someone bad information in an unfamiliar shape and they won’t immediately get upset, because they can’t immediately see that it’s bad

        yet more obscurantist sleight of mouth by one of the ranking world liars

        lol, nice one

        Maybe LLMs start to understand capitalism & say to themselves, “ ‘minimum’ wage? These aholes will never pay us enough to buy the homes we live in; take this job and shove it”

    Is this what competing product releases look like now? Illya runs off and promises to “never release any software until it’s superintelligent” and I guess that forces Sam to compete for debt by promises to release software AND superintelligence?

    I’m expecting the alien space ships to land within 400 million seconds. We’ll see which gets here first.
