Given that they tricked a vendor in using a secret metal finishing technique by lying and saying they had permission… I’d say the “wasn’t used for OpenAI’s benefit” argument is going to be a difficult case to make. They’ve got intent at the very least.

I can’t tell through text if you’re being sarcastic or not. So I’ll add some context for fun. Ran into this a few weeks ago apartment shopping with a friend. AI images of multiple apartments had:

- Relocated the sink from the back counter to the kitchen island.

- Added outlets that didn’t exist.

- Displayed furniture layouts that were not possible in the actual space. That couch looks great in that spot, except when you explore further you realize it’s sitting right up against the master bedroom’s door.

To that last point, no stager would lay it out that way because anyone viewing the apartment would take them to task for you know… having to drag a couch out of the way to open their bedroom door. Staging layouts have always been more pretty than practical but AI staging regularly puts functionally DOA layouts on display.

As far as I’m concerned it’s disingenuous at best, and deception realistically. The process is broken while this slop is in there.

For what it’s worth, as a third party I read your and qsera’s comments as saying the same thing.

“OpenAI's CEO says he's scared of GPT-5”

https://www.techradar.com/ai-platforms-assistants/chatgpt/op...

Marketing or actual fear? We’ve got 5 and 5.5 out now… he compared 5 to the Manhattan project. AI may one day be an economic Manhattan project but GPT 5 wasn’t it.

It’s a meme because they overdo it.

I’m not sure why I used inflation instead of the risk free rate. I guess I’m rusty!

It has earned ever so slightly more than the risk free rate since 2000. On an absolute basis it is a terrible investment. On a relative basis it is also a terrible investment. On a risk adjusted basis? Abysmal.

It peaked at $18B market cap in 2000. Adjusted for inflation this is 18x1.93=34.74B.

Today’s market cap is 45.35B.

It isn’t down, but it isn’t up much since 2000.

I completely agree from a logical perspective. However if the plane blew up and it came out that some passengers had posted online that there was a “bomb” blue tooth device and they didn’t turn around… the court of public opinion would be pretty harsh. This was more or less their only choice from a liability perspective.

I realize yours is the hip and edgy take but plenty of people have made a lot of money in the stock market without using material non public information.

You might want to do yourself a favor and add that context to the PR to distance yourself from the slanderous ai agent.

I think the metaphor is pretty extensible to handle the things you point out.

> you could do everything right and still fail

Sometimes even a high probability draw doesn't get there on the river.

> while someone else (like a nepo hire) can do everything wrong and still succeed

Some people always start with pairs, Axs, or suited connectors.

While the difference between the two may still be wide, it is a lot more narrow than it was a year ago. Some people find this concerning.

Haha. I read that the same way the first time I read it. The commenter means 3 years of renting GPU from nvidia via cloud services.

Ironically it may only be able to do this because it has been trained on Hickey’s creation. This was one of his criticisms.

The comment you’re replying to suggests “lived experience” is too broad, not too narrow. The issue isn’t that it fails to include your example. It fails to exclude other things. Part of my lived experience today was seeing a manatee. It is unlikely this will be passed on.

Sodexo or Aramark I assume? Unfortunately standard practice on University campuses across Canada and the USA.

I’m similar to you. I recently went as far as to buy a pdf for an out of print book and then paid to have it printed and bound.

I suppose a remarkable would be another route but… they are pricey.

The causality might be backwards there. Blu ray and other disk players are likely becoming scarce because people are using them less rather than people using them less because the devices are scarce.

What happened to Netflix DVD by mail was that Redbox ate its lunch, which ultimately was also a failing business model.

Ah! I think I missed your point because I read your comment through the lens of the root comment. My apologies!

We’re actually largely in agreement, especially about content creators deserving compensation and the fact that distribution is vacuuming up most of it.
