Having problems fitting enough GPT-3’s under that trenchcoat?

I have a suspicion, but let me first check with the AI in my phone:

“Cybercheck committed the m-u-r…”, AI suggests “murder”! That is it, case cracked!

As my AI figured out, Cybercheck themselves committed the murders and then probably created their service to cover it up!

But did they fail because the watch went rogue and defected to the communist bloc?

What if my mechanical watch went rogue and killed Bezos?

On one hand Bezos is responsible for a lot of suffering and some deaths.

On the other hand, killing is wrong.

On the third hand, it couldn’t do that, because it is just a machine.

(It’s a watch, it has three hands. It also has about as much consciousness as an LLM, it “knows” what time it is. Much more energy efficient though.)

What could possibly go wrong? Better ask for forgiveness then plant permissions!

I thought it came from Babylonian writing that recoded the brains and planted the languages.

First half is straight forward dick measurement contest. Let me paraphrase: “My companies has huuuuge revenue! Why haven’t yours? Maybe because you are so toxic? Have you thought about that, man with smaaaall revenue.”

Notice how it’s all revenue, not profit. I think this mindset gives an insight into why so many tech bros if they stumble onto profit, quickly grows out of profit. Profit isn’t the score, revenue is. And it’s all about hitting that high score so you can feel like a big man.

The picture at top of the blog post is Sam Altman, the guy saving the world from the AI he is creating.

And yeah, he looks like that.

Reading this extract I was surprised, figuring the desperate search for investment money must mean that Kickstarter wasn’t turning a profit despite a seemingly sound business model.

Reading the article I found out it was even stupider. Kickstarter wasn’t lacking a path to profit, it was lacking a path to growth. And being a profitable company with a clear market nisch isn’t cool enough. Everything has to grow, grow, grow. So Kickstarter created a bunch of problems for itself, destroying much of its brand. It’s that stupid.
