Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced early on Monday morning that Microsoft would be starting its own AI unit — with Sam at the helm. Microsoft would also hire Greg Brockman, the former OpenAI president who was also booted from the board and quit his job in solidarity with Sam.

yall remember all those fucking weirdos who appeared around when windows 10 released and couldn’t stop talking about how Microsoft isn’t evil anymore, it’s a different company now that they contribute code to linux and own GitHub? I wonder if any of those fuckers are even aware that this is Microsoft trying to own the entire open source theft and consent violation machine outright.

At OpenAI’s 2022 holiday party, held at the California Academy of Sciences, Sutskever led employees in a chant: “Feel the AGI! Feel the AGI!” The phrase itself was popular enough that OpenAI employees created a special “Feel the AGI” reaction emoji in Slack.

fucking cringe. my disappointment is only magnified by the fact that Sutskever seems to have gone back to bootlicking for Sam in record time. I want to see the worst people I know viciously fight until everything they’ve built is gone, for fuck’s sake

Microsoft's goal is to have the monopoly on something they sell to enterprise. Windows and Office are still going strong, but there's always more monopolies out there.

If Bill Gates really wants to reduce the dangers of climate change, he should call up his old company and ask them to pull back from the massively energy-intensive, socially useless AI boondoggle......
