might be the best option he was offered

The catholic church figured this out years ago - CEOs should have enforced celibacy. We all know that went well for them.

I’m ashamed this didn’t even cross my mind

It has to be 2, right?

with an international network of corrupt oligarchs manipulating the media

am I imagining it or did he do a baptism with jd vance?

I’m fairly sure he was being groomed to be peter thiel’s new pope

The issue is to become a successful CEO you tend to have to believe your own lies and very quickly surround yourself with sycophants. Whats more if you buck this trend you tend to limit your skillset as societally we reward bullshit more than results.

Conversations on this subject will continue to stagnate and miss the important points as long as people continue to act like the discussion of ethics is the same as the discussion of efficacy. People who disagree with AI on a principle of its impacts being negative will often call it “a lying machine which is regularly wrong and offers no utility”.

May I suggest that people with criticisms of the ethics and impact of AI take a charitable position towards the utility offered by AI. Accept something along the lines of a positive account given by an experienced software engineer - it’s useful, it presents risks but also it presents new ways to get certain work done well in much less time etc.

Even if you do not believe this, the point is it is a much more ambiguous argument than the ethical argument or the concerns over the impact of AI on the species, environment or society. You weaken those arguments by putting them along side poorly justified, somewhat falsifiable claims that AI just doesn’t work.

or just bots shutting off

Feeds offer algorithm transparency and you can use alternative frontends. ATProto can’t suddenly be turned to private and disable third party access, it is intrinsically public.

it even comes from the same guy

The seed money came from Twitter, allocated by Jack Dorsey and he had a position on the board that he didn’t really make use of. He literally left because he is against centralised moderation and didn’t have enough influence to prevent bsky implementing it.

Maybe we should, just to be safe, also destroy all expressions of philosophy, ideology or artistry, otherwise we’ll just have religions existing that pretend they aren’t religions.

Honestly, everyone needs to listen to the episode of Search Engine about Elon. It’s such a clear narrative of what happened between the Iron Man cameo and now. It’s pure hubris - someone who is very unlikable desperately hungry for love to the point where his brain bust a fuse.

As stated in the article, this has less to do with using AI, more to do with sloppy code reviews and code quality enforcement. Bad code from AI is just the latest version of mindlessly pasting from Stack Overflow.

I encourage jrs to use tools such as Phind for solving problems but I also expect them to understand what they’re submitting and be ready to defend it no differently to any other PR. If they’re submitting code they don’t understand that’s incredibly unprofessional and I would come down very hard on them. They don’t do this though because we don’t hire dickheads.

so long dental plan!

Plenty of religious people are non-violent and plenty of non-religious people are. It is indeed one of the easiest routes to radicalise someone to do awful things but also not the only one.

Collectively we keep forgetting this and it’s so important. This isn’t 5D fascist chess, this is a guy who got so high on approval from the masses on Twitter he lost his fucking mind. Everything he does these days is for approval from people. The crowd he has decided are the cool kids, who laugh at his shit jokes, are fascists. I don’t even think he’s a fascist, I think he’s an irresponsible egotist with no stable sense of self-worth who deep down knows he’s a fraud.
