This is almost too sad to dunk on. People running the world have never had a reflective conversation with a professional trained to help process emotions and healthily cope with the human condition. They're in charge of billions of dollars worth of resources and guiding society's investment into the future. Cooooool

Don't put it past her to just be completely lying and trying to sell a product.

I do believe she's feigning ignorance and naivete to peddle the product here.

I also believe she is alienated enough as a LinkedIn devotee hustlegrinder to see the product as "warm" at the same time.

I see. A twofer.

From following machine learning for the past year, mostly focusing on open source development, this is almost certainly correct.

Most people don't realize this, but current conditions are actually against large AI companies. The only thing they can do that can't be done by anyone with a GPU made in the past 5 years is make larger models which aren't necessarily better and which are much slower to train and iterate on. Meanwhile, open source models have hordes of researchers writing papers and new breakthroughs come so fast people don't have time to widely implement them all. Google privately acknowledged this some time ago and noted that OpenAI is in the same position. They have no moat.

Pretty much the only way for OpenAI to maintain an advantage is to convince the public that their closed-source AI is safe, and that open source AI is too dangerous to allow, when in reality they are fundamentally the same. Granted, banning or regulation of open source AI products is not going to ever fully work, but they would be hoping that it slows it down enough.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
