Fuck AI

I bought 15 dollars of Moviepass long after it failed because I wondered if the marketing had value.

It did not.

There was zero value.

moviepass had some value eventhough it was over-inflated and gougy, LLM had no value to people.

Only because MoviePass failed (to become a monopoly).

Something like OpenAI forces investors to operate on a Sunk Cost Fallacy, where they'd rather keep bailing out the company than lose what they'd already invested. Nearly every commercially successfully corporation has followed this exact model.

Once you reach Walmart/Amazon status (ie. household name) you're "too big to fail". Not until something else comes along to replace you. Actual business success is negligible once you're a monopoly.

McDonald's is the shittiest fastfood chain on the planet and continuously going downhill, but not once has the company ever been in danger of shutting down. They've only continuously expanded until they convinced all consumers there was no better alternative.

And last I checked, people have begun to embrace ChatGPT in the same teeth-gritting fashion as McDick.

It might just cave like Vine, or it might outright replace Google. At this point, could go either way.

Just another billion dollars, bro. Trust me bro.

At least wework had some bangin offices to work out of. Now they are overpriced, getting ratty and basically there's been no investment. Last time I worked out of one I think they charged like $60 CAD, that's a lot for a day in a shared desk.

The line between the stock market/investors and degenerate gamblers is a fine one.

Never have I been so regretful of learning English before reading this sentence.

altman met his husband during one of THIELS parties at the time, strange coincidence he started openai after it. thiel has ties to epstein too. I wonder how far gawker couldve gone if they wernt sued to the ground due to a vendetta by Thiel, they were definitely reporting on some of suspicious business pratices.

Thiel side piece was young male model who was defenestrated last year in florida, and largely buried by MSM and even on reddit it dint last a day, he definitely has a type.

In business, they don't like to talk about negative profits. Those are called losses.

What do you mean 'not by accident around 2015'? Is there something significant about 2015 or are you tying it to Trump's presidential run?

Regulations in the US? Surely you jest.

Regulations haven't even stopped YouTube from sending fake AI medical ads to your family members.

USA is entirely based on lies. That's a big part of why "AI" is so popular.

Uh... Replacing workers with AI would be the destruction of an economy which is literally the opposite of "money maker".

Economies work by the circulation of some form of currency (whatever form that might take). That means people need to spend. And people with low-paying jobs spend small amounts. People with no jobs spend nothing. (Also people who hoard wealth damage or even destroy economies as well. It's why you want inflationary currency, not static or deflationary.)

Using LLMs to get to AGI is like teaching a dog tricks and expecting that, if you work hard enough at it, the dog would get a law degree eventually

So if AGI is the key to replacing (most) workers, then AGI cannot exist without democratic socialism else we'll all starve.

Well, we know absolutely for certain that consciousness is just complex computation... right?

Because it would be very very silly to have bet all these billions of dollars on a convenient assumption.

LLM's are cool and all, but you can't use them for anything requiring real precision without allocating human work time to validate the output, unless you want to end up on the national news for producing something fraudulent.

And making it so their image generator can generate porn isn't going to change that.

Can't wait for society to pick the tab on that bet ;)

For stupid reasons, negative profits aren't called negative profits. They're called losses. So a company that's losing money is showing 0 profit. (And a company that's making money is showing 0 loss.)
