Who… even is Sam Altman?

Oh, he’s basically a less lucky and somehow less competent version of Mark Zuckerberg.
He doesn’t know anything like, theoretical or technical about AI, he has no expertise, he’s just a guy with a failed startup or two under his belt, who then become the hypeman for investing schemes/incubators.
He, like many in the tech industry, just… acts like he knows what he is talking about, and… for quite a long time, people believed it.
He’s basically a complete fraud, just, as a person, beyond all the literal financial fraud he’s orchestrated.
Hyping and pumping companies and stocks is the attribute our economy prizes above all else.
Look at musk, what a genius the investors gush. It does not matter if it is dishonest, if the intrinsic value is way below what is thought. They only care what people think, not what is.
The essence of hollow idealism. False promises from malicious prophets in search of profits. “A shrewd businessman” we’re expected to call them, but the veneer wears thin.

… you got me there, I could have phrased that better.
It was always the first resort. It just needed to reach a certain amount of users to convince advertisers to advertise. Welcome to the first milestone of doom. It only gets worse from here.
Bitch please. This is like the 847th milestone of doom.
So… We’re nearing the end, then?

Unless ads give enough revenue.
I’m gonna have a good laugh when emails start arriving in my inbox from colleagues and externals with weird ads in the body of the text. Because considering the amount of people that just paste the bot replies in their emails, this will happen, frequently.
A few people I work with have put “thank you for you attention to this matter” at the end of some emails. Not sure if they’re trump fans or using ai. I assumed the latter as English is not their first language.
There’s a lot of software tools that pipe in a users prompt and execute steps blindly now. THey don’t even need to copy/paste anymore.
We’re gonna get a lot more unrelated ads in mail or linkedin solicitations.
Well he wasn’t lying.
Ads always come at the end, at the last part of enshittification, so yeah, last resort indeed
Eh, fuck chatgpt, fuck Sam Altman in specific, with an umbrella
Finally the AI innovation we were promised.
Enshitification speed run.

Sam Altman answering the question “Can shit be enshittified?”
Who the fuck still uses ChatGPT when there are so many open source alternatives that are much cheaper and sometimes even better overall?
Cheaper than free? Cause I haven’t paid a cent to them
Can you give some examples?
I don’t think they’re open source, but I use DeepSeek (Chinese) and Le Chat (French). I’m also testing out Lumo by Proton.
Not everyone can run a 300B model on their own. Although, self hosting an OSS webui that talks to the API instead of opening their client (chatgpt.com) has proved viable
Yea that’s why things like https://openrouter.ai/ exist.
Oh so you use chatgpt (or open source models) via them? Are there privacy guarantees and what about uncensored models. We are spiraling into times where asking who owns that big piece of land next to Canada might be highly controversial
That’s what small models with tool calling abilities are for (beside the obvious advantage of live information). Sometimes it works like a charm, sometimes not.
I’ve noticed this on Gemini too. I didn’t want to search through the annoying internet recipe experience these days so I tried Gemini. “Find me an ice cream recipe”
“Sure! Recipe is blah blah… Also, OXO makes a great container for your ice cream! And there is a great Ice cream scoop also made by OXO!”
Gemini is made by Google/Alphabet, one of the largest advertising company so it’s not surprising.
Not to much longer then.
Butlerian Jihad When?
Also, punchable face.
you mean his first and only resort. consider you are one of peter thiels protege as well.
Altman is in the thiel, yarvin set as well?
Small world these ivy league pricks live in.

Every one of them seemingly also palled around with Epstein and let themselves be filmed fucking children by Israeli intelligence as well. To say nothing of other dirt they’ve accumulated, or other intelligence agencies and organizations with their own dirt on them. Our own cia would have to be complicit in fact. Sort of like the 5 eyes domestic spying, they spy on their own people in violation of their own laws by doing it under the other countries’ laws and then share it back. Even when it’s us guys looking into us people, they have a limey’s name on the masthead and figure that’s an end run around spying domestically.
But having our politicians and our business leaders compromised is becoming more intolerable. They are literally destroying the country and the very prosperity that made them rich. We seriously need to publicize these blackmail files to break the power of the ones that hold this stuff.
Who knows, there may even be an equivalent blackmail network on judges, and federalist society appointed hacks. With the Borgia pope in the 1500s, he appointed cardinals that he had compromised already (hookers, freaky parties, etc.,) to ensure their loyalty and be able to get rid of them easily if they balked. I suspect they’ve been doing similar things.
By electing/choosing corrupt people we have made it inevitable we would end up in this place. Our law enforcement is captured, only those challenging the system have anything to fear from it usually.
Who needs competition between friends? That’s just for suckers. Those guys don’t being in capitalism, just in extortion.
Capitalism is extortion. You do the work, I use the police to threaten you with jail unless I get the lion’s share of the revenue.
I read that as chatgpt is getting aids. Sounds about right, not a bad analogy.
It was obviously planned.
Just like OpenAI turning for-profit.
This was planned from the very beginning.
This was the entire pitch.
“Hey, we have this tool trusted by millions of smooth-brained troglodytes that can be used to control the narrative.”
