Top AI Investor Says Goal Is to Crash Human Wages AI totally "crashing" everyone's wages is a necessary stepping stone towards a better future, argues billionaire Marcus Andreessen.

Tech bros been drinking from the same poisoned well. Means we have to work harder to make AI people-centred.

Sam Altman to return as CEO of OpenAI What a wild five days.

Sam Altman’s back, Shear’s happy, everybody’s happy, pretty well engineered reverse coup. Happy clappy. Feels like a ChatGPT plot.

Before Altman’s Ouster, OpenAI’s Board Was Divided and Feuding Sam Altman attacked a member over a research paper that discussed the company, while directors disagreed about who should fill board vacancies open for months.

The most informative article on Sam Altman and OpenAI situation I’ve read so far: www.nytimes.com/2023/11/21/t...

Sometimes you just gotta go for it

Radio silence last couple of weeks because my dad passed away. Just getting back to work. Renewed enthusiasm for some reason. Same chaos though ;)

Seems sensible.

Congratulations to the Russian army on becoming the 3rd best army in Russia

Watching Russia unravel. Hoping desperately for a quick end to the war on Ukraine. Hoping but not expecting Russian sanity to prevail. What a spectacle.

Al puts coders out of work
Coders use newly spare time to hack Als
Als self-harden against hackers
Al becomes impenetrable to humans

Yes. It’s very biased towards overwriting your specific input with more generic crap from its knowledge pool. You have to get extremely specific and very directive to be confident of a decent response.

AI shakes up way we work in three key industries
Professional services, filmmaking and coding are among the first to use the technology in everyday operations

I started my first agency in 1994 (Hyperinteractive), partly because I’d spent a couple of years on Usenet after a trip with a mac and a usr modem. Not very much has changed really. It’s only missing uk.music.rave and alt.rec.sheds

In the fast moving world of copying other people’s stuff to remain relevant…

I can’t code. I do know about AI. I would love to create a feed about AI developments. Can you help me create a couple of feeds?

IMO, the fundamental thing Elon missed with Twitter was the gamification of access to celebrity.

The blue check access was one of Twitter’s products. You had a chance that your favorite notable would see and respond to your comment.

It’s the same reason loot boxes work.

The recent advances in generative AI are yet another instance of technology that’s advancing faster than our minds and our institutions can keep up.How can w... AI Town Hall -- Center for Humane Technology

Google sunsets Domains business and shovels it off to Squarespace Google Domains are moving to a place that will sell you a domain if you build a site there.

What domain registrars do you like? I relied on Google Domains bc Google has excellent account security & now I'm looking for another registrar with the same. I *despise* Squarespace & don't have words I'm willing to say publicly for how angry I am right now.

From the other place, but genius

This is brilliant. Which domain is going to be the right one though?
