OpenAI employees really, really did not want to go work for Microsoft
  • Totally agree. Microsoft has invested way too much in openAI to have a repeat of the Sam Altman debacle. They will formalize their control of te company. And Altman has already shown that in conflict between the board and MS, he’s on Microsoft’s side.

    Also, any openAI developer who thinks that openAI currently is an independent company is kidding themselves. Microsoft is effectively already calling the shots, al be it in a roundabout way.

  • ur grandpa lived to tell the tale
  • None of these events are noteworthy by themselves. Max they merit part of a sentence as an example of an ongoing trend.

    Exception if one of the events turns out to be a handy symbolic point to indicate a change in the world order.

    E.g. Serious human contribution to global warming which started in the early 20th century kept a pace and peaked in the early 21st century. Public opinion began to sour after an increased occurrence of climate disasters, such as tsunamis and forest fires.

    Or: The Russian successor state to the soviet union did make token efforts to reassert its power in Eastern Europe, such as the 2021 war in Ukraine. However those efforts ultimately proved futile and by 20xx all former Warsaw pact countries, excluding Russia itself, had joined the European union.

  • Elon Musk Is Crafting A Narrative For The Death Of Twitter
  • The money doesn’t matter.

    We all know he ran it into the ground. However the twitter trademark is still worth something. It’s probably the only part of company worth buying. Which is ironic given that he changed the name. Regardless, someone might be willing to pay ~1 billion for it.

    Which is what a smart ceo would do. Musk is not smart. He’s a spoiled little brat. Musk’s ego can’t handle the fact that anyone who buys twitter could make the company profitable (something he failed at spectacularly) by doing the exact opposite of whatever the fuck he’s doing. I.e. by proving that all his ideas are stupid.

  • Dutch election: Anti-Islam populist Wilders set for victory - exit poll
  • Thirteen years of right wing policies, that have left the country fed up and unaffordable. And what does the electorate conclude. we weren’t right wing enough >.<

    Oh well, the people have spoken. Let’s see how long this shit show lasts.

  • 'Top secret' Hamas documents show that terrorists intentionally targeted elementary schools and a youth center | NBC News
  • I wouldn’t trust anything “found” by Israeli intelligence. Having said that, according to article, these are plans for:

    Hamas units to surround and infiltrate villages and target places where civilians, including children, gather.

    Which is reasonably close to what happened. Given how direct and quick the strike was, it’s reasonable to assume that plans of that nature exist.

    Then again, October 7th was a a Saturday and a holiday and Hamas attacked early in the morning. If they wanted to kidnap kids, it wouldn’t make sense to target schools.

    TLDR: I dunno. Maybe.

  • Is the cure to male loneliness the Third Impact?
  • I joke, in bad taste. You are right, though The facts are clear. Most people who are suicidal are just looking for a way to stop some type of suffering.

    Having said that, I do think it’s important to recognize that this does not apply to all “suicides.” An old person who wants to end their life, because they feel that they’ve lived a full life is technically suicidal. They deserve the right to end their life.
