TechTakes
Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
For actually-good tech, you want our NotAwfulTech community
Reasons are unclear (as usual when safety people leave OpenAI).
no, you fucking dipshit. the reason is crystal clear. he was on the team that attempted to oust sammyboi, and was on borrowed time from the moment it failed

Cade Metz was the NYT journalist who doxxed Scott Alexander
"bro if you just keep saying it it'll become true. trust me bro I've done it hundreds of times bro"
Also all the weirdness re Metz comes from not understanding how media like that works (A thing which iirc is warned for in the sequences of all things) and N=1. All these advanced complex ideas rushing around in their mind, talk of being aware of your own bias, bayes, bla bla defeated by an N=1 perceived anti-grey tribe event.
Also lol how much they fall back into talking like robots when talking about this event:
Enforcing social norms to prevent scapegoating also destroys information that is valuable for accurate credit assignment and causally modelling reality.
grr outgroup, outgroup bad
The HN thread quickly devolves into 'tech is great' and 'this is the next revolution', and im again amazed at our collective inability to learn things. Even if LLM does great things, redesigning all your workflows/etc around a company which you could and will change the cost and terms of service on a whim is a bad idea. Even more so in the era where there is no more almost zero money lending. Good luck when the LLM shit enshittifies so much that you will need to divest from it and all your programmers can't code without it (and stackexchange is also gone).
