Architeuthis

I just read the github issue comment thread he links, what an entitled chode.

Love that the laughing face reactions to his AI slop laden replies stung so much he ended up posting through it on his blog.

The coda is top tier sneer:

Maybe it’s useful to know that Altman uses a knife that’s showy but incohesive and wrong for the job; he wastes huge amounts of money on olive oil that he uses recklessly; and he has an automated coffee machine that claims to save labour while doing the exact opposite because it can’t be trusted. His kitchen is a catalogue of inefficiency, incomprehension, and waste. If that’s any indication of how he runs the company, insolvency cannot be considered too unrealistic a threat.

ffs, the euphemisms keep piling on today.

Thanks, I'm broadly aware who the named people are, just not that there was such a prominent pedophilia angle.

No thanks, every time I read about Brent Dill's sense of heroic responsibility I throw up in my mouth a little.

What a bunch of weird and off-putting ways to avoid saying owners of a product that they fucking bought.

The article is about broadcom sending cease and desists to vmware owners who download updates by the way, because apparently to be entitled to any kind of after sale support you need to be leasing the product.

Here's the full text:

Fake radical honesty: when a dishonest person self-discloses taboo or undesirable things about themselves, but then omits the worst thing or things. They make themselves look honest and they're not. This nasty trick ruined my life once. It occurs to me that this ploy may have been used to cover up the miricult scandal (https://archive.is/miricult.com) after a discussion with someone about what happened. A friend said something like that they'd looked into this and the people involved confessed, but only one minor was molested. For some reason this resulted in increased trust. It should not have. Have you seen fake radical honesty anywhere?

For someone not steeped into the lore, why is this important?

Apparently saltman is bringing in a sort of sub-CEO

In her new role, Fidji will focus on enabling our “traditional” company functions to scale as we enter a next phase of growth. I’m passionate about many of these areas and I will stay closely involved with key company decisions. Fidji brings a rare blend of leadership, product and operational expertise, and genuine commitment to ensuring our technology benefits everyone.

They’ve grown up as programmers with AI already available to them.

Is that the same AI that's been available for barely two years?

What a drama queen.

To be fair, looking good while being downwind of Elon being at least partially correct is probably an impossible feat.

Siskind appears to be complaining about leopards gently nibbling on his face on main this week, the gist being that tariff-man is definitely the far-rights fault and it would surely be most unfair to heap any blame on CEO worshiping reactionary libertarians who think wokeness is on par with war crimes while being super weird with women and suspicious of scientific orthodoxy (unless it's racist), and who also comprise the bulk of his readership.

It's a transcription, you aren't just checking for spelling mistakes.

Having to listen to the recording of the session again and again while reading the generated transcription to make sure everything written was actually said and not invented or paraphrased certainly seems to negate any benefit gained from using these legally mandated tools.

Maybe It's just CEO dick measuring, so chads Nadella and PIchai can both claim a rock hard 20-30% while virgin Zuckeberg is exposed as not even knowing how to put the condom on.

Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott previously said he expects 95% of all code to be AI-generated by 2030.

Of course he did.

The Microsoft CEO said the company was seeing mixed results in AI-generated code across different languages, with more progress in Python and less in C++.

So the more permissive at compile time the language the better the AI comes out smelling? What a completely unanticipated twist of fate!
