> When Sam Altman was ousted as CEO of OpenAI on November 17, 2023, Kara Swisher started tweeting up a storm of “scoopage,” as she referred to her calls with high-ranking tech figures. Over the days Altman was on the outside, Swisher helped to craft a narrative that a board stacked with his internal rivals had pulled off a coup without a legitimate reason. The face of the AI boom had been betrayed and deserved to retake his position at the helm.
> She’s chosen a few CEOs to more regularly criticize now that they don’t give her the access she craves, but there are many more whose narratives she will happily help turn into the official record whenever it will help them. Altman is in that group, and six months after his removal and return as CEO of OpenAI, it’s become very apparent that Swisher was echoing the Altman line and defending his interests.
> I assume "extremely skeptical" is you being generous
I'm not sure that's the case. Every value in this forecast is absurd, I actually think the author is sincere in there feeling that they are being extremely skeptical.
What do you mean $380B? This "fair market value" forecast also includes $147B for starlink enterprise and $75B for starlink direct-to-cell. So almost $600B all in.
> Starlink Consumer Broadband at $380B (9.2M subscribers, ~38x revenue)
I mean that Starlinks consumer broadband is valued at ~38x revenue, when other telcos are valued around 1.5x revenue. That revenue is 2533% more expensive, why pay such a big premium for something that's essentially the same?
> the fact that he killed himself would suggest he did not believe it was a fun little roleplay session
I'm not sure that's true. I wouldn't be surprised, in fact, if it suggested the opposite, it seems possibly even likely that someone who is suicidal is much, much more likely to seek out fantasies that would make their suicide into something more like this person may have.
Distinction made by who, though? The BBC? The plaintiff in the lawsuit? Those are the only sides we have. You're just charging ahead with "This must be true because it makes me angry at the right people", and the rest of us are trying to claw you back to "dude this is spun nonsense and of course AI's will roleplay with you if you ask them to".
you need someone to specifically tell you that role playing, such as playing D&D or whatever tabletop RPG, and suffering from psychosis are different things?
>the rest of us are trying to claw you back to "dude this is spun nonsense and of course AI's will roleplay with you if you ask them to".
you are trying to convince me that someone being encouraged to kill themselves, then killing themselves, is basically the same as some D&D role playing. i dont need you to "claw me back" to that position. thanks for trying.
> you are trying to convince me that someone being encouraged to kill themselves [...]
Arrgh. You lost the plot in all the yelling. This is EXACTLY what I was trying to debunk upthread with the D&D stuff. You don't know the context of that quote. It could absolutely be, and in context very likely was, a fantasy/roleplay/drama activity which the AI had been engaged in by the poor guy. I don't know. You don't know.
But I do know not to be so dumb as to trust a plaintiff in a Huge Suit Against Tech Giant without context.
literally no one is yelling here, unless you count your occasional all-caps. i have said like 6 sentences in total, and none of them are remotely emotional. let alone yelling.
>You don't know the context of that quote.
it doesnt matter. even if it all started as elaborate fantasy role play, it is wildly irresponsible to role play a suicidal ideation fantasy with a customer. especially when you know nothing of their mental state.
you can argue that google has some sort of duty to fulfill your suicidal ideation fantasy role play, but i will give you a heads up now so you dont waste your time: you cannot convince me that any company should satisfy that market.
>But I do know not to be so dumb as to trust a plaintiff in a Huge Suit Against Tech Giant without context.
No, this doesn't describe California. From the comment: "has since "stabilized" to +10% a year.". The whole reason people complain about prop 13 is that it wouldn't allow it to be increasing +10% a year. In fact, the OP is actually kinda non-sensical given that they are complaining both about property taxes not increasing quickly enough and about them increasing too quickly.
You clearly don't spend much time around a school measuring the speed of cars. Head on down and see for yourself how often or not a human driver goes >17mph in such a situation.
that gives away too much information, instead i'd go with something that tells you that you've found the best solution. you'll still be able to know whether or not to keep going, but you get no information that makes finding the ideal solution easier.
Let's see what gemini says in response to a more realistic prompt: https://gemini.google.com/share/f0bcbe46c337
Well, look at that. 1.5 lbs of chicken breast in the oven @425 for 10 minutes, and a minute or two of broiling should do the trick.
Unlike all human-written recipes I found, it doesn't give the temperature to cook it to.
