I am merely going by their actions, not by your words.

From the source Bloomberg article:

Like Google and Anthropic, OpenAI is now shifting attention from the size of these models to newer use cases, including a crop of AI tools called agents that can book flights or send emails on a user’s behalf. “We will have better and better models,” Altman wrote on Reddit. “But I think the thing that will feel like the next giant breakthrough will be agents.”

The fact that Sam “worldcoin” Altman is saying this publicly (like anyone would trust an LLM to book a flight or to send non-trivial emails) suggests the grift may be coming to an end.

Here is a really deep and complex ethical discussion for you.

You create a free and private email service and you don’t register nigge.rs and nuke.africa as your domains.

Imagine that!

Very difficult and super complex ethical choice!

I think Andreessen is lying and the “techno optimist manifesto” is a ruse for PR.

a16z has been involved in various crypto pump and dumps. They are smart enough to know that something like “play to earn” is not sustainable and always devolves into a pyramid scheme. Doesn’t stop them from getting in early and dumping worthless tokens on the marks.

The manifesto honestly reads like it was written by a teenager. The style, the tone, the excessive quotes from economists. This is pretty typical stuff for American oligarch polemics, no?

The nation introduced a labor policy in 2018 that capped maximum work hours to 52 – 40 hours of regular time and 12 hours of overtime.

To be honest, I would be surprised if this rule was actually followed. Perhaps someone with more knowledge could comment.

I always found interesting how some american oligarchs have a fondness for inserting themselves in the pop culture zeitgeist.

I get that. Sounds stupid. I mean hitler.rocks? Or nuke.africa?

It is probably good that they are shutting down.

WTF is this?

This seems like a win-win scenario for everyone involved.

They are likely trying to promote the URL in the post body as opposed to sharing this (highly generic) info on Lemmy.

Thanks for sharing. Going to read this before bed (yes, I am a nerd).

I don’t believe this is a Trump specific thing, at least that was the impression I got when I did get a chance to live in the US.

I am a long-time Ars reader and subscriber. I am not American, but I always found their articles on various public policy issues to be interesting and fascinating.

One particularly fascinating element is the callousness of the various “legal arguments” used to justify (and enable) various crimes/corruption schemes.

“I didn’t know this was illegal … it’s the fences fault … we sold both voice and data info, so umm it’s legal.”

Motherfuckers, you were selling real-time location of your customers to random thugs. By any real understanding of the term “justice”, you should be locked up for decades with full asset seizure.

No sane person would agree for you to sell their real-time location data to random goons. You know this and you dare to come up with this gibberish?

It’s not even so much the corruption/criminality that is fascinating (things like that happen everywhere), but the arrogance and callousness inherent to their world salad.

Linus is a god for many of us… with human traits though… His Finland, although historically robbed by Russia, achieved its highest splendor during the decades of neutrality, not by fiercely antagonizing one or the other power… same as Switzerland, Ireland, Austria and Singapore.

Ukraine was neutral before 2014, that didn’t help avoid an invasion. Not to mention they occupied Moldova and Georgia before that too.

They have not been able to attack the Baltic nations or Poland because they joined NATO.

Neutrality word salad is only for the ignorant or those who support russian imperialism.
