Oh, 1 Billion! Really - not...."Anonymous sources told the Wall Street Journal that #OpenAI fell short of meaningful internal company #goals, including its ambition for #ChatGPT to hit 1 billion users by the end of 2025. It also missed key #revenue targets and saw high user “defection” (presumably as more people jumped ship to competitors like #Anthropic). #SamAltman via TechBrew

How very Sam Altman to propose his earlier scam as a panacea for the problems created by his current scam https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp9vppem4evo #ai #openai #samaltman #scamaltman #worldcoin #worldcon #tinder #zoom

However, like many Farrow and Marantz seem to take the so-called "existential risk" framing of AI seriously. I really wish people would stop doing that. In this case it makes the article feel incoherent in places.
This technology by itself does not pose a unique risk. It's the people, organizations, and governments around it, and their behavior with respect to it, that generate risk. Treating the technology alone as uniquely existentially risky provides cover for a wide variety of bad actors to both continue doing their work as well as to shrug and say "oops" if something goes catastrophically wrong or if smaller harms accumulate into intolerably large ones. The very framing provides an accountability shield, which by my read contradicts what Farrow himself suggests is needed, namely more accountability. I take this from this article, his previous work, and comments he makes in interviews (e.g., this one with Decoder.
We need to stop catastrophizing. It's thought and action terminating.

Dutch historian Rutger Bregman explains why #SamAltman does not have the moral compass to lead us to AGI…yup, he’s a lying piece of s*** like most tech bros, but it’s the fact that everyone around him on every company he’s ever been involved with, thinks that. There are receipts.
This man is proposing to do with the sum total of published human knowledge what capitalism does with everything: steal it and then build enclosures around it for profit.

#TheOnion going hard at #SamAltman.
It's hard to pick, but I think this is my favorite line:
"Why did you decide to devote your life to AI?
I just saw so much suffering in the world that needed to be automated."

Never forget Sam Altman’s sister has accused him of abusing her for years.
These guys are all the same.

The Altman Paradox: Expansion framed as substitution.
Sam Altman said a mouthful when he chose to compare human energy use and #AI energy use.
The core issue is that AI energy usage is additive, not substitutive.
Good #marketing rhetoric, but it does not pass any level of scrutiny humanity is capable of. 😂
Futurism has some choice headlines today. "Spiraling" is a word that's increasingly used these days to refer to AI hallucinations and psychosis.

so much of the promise of generative AI as it is currently constituted, is driven by rote entitlement.
He puts into clear terms what had previously been an unarticulated, creeping suspicion I had about #GenAI. Clearly there are many angles from which to come at what's going on with #AI #hype , but I appreciate this one quite a bit.
