- Sai_ 3y agoDon’t think the former CEO of GitHub is going to be that alarmed about upsetting Sam Altman. You may be seeing their decision making through the lens of a no-name founder applying to YC for their first cheque.
- Obscurity4340 3y agoCan he like...hack my HN account aha? That would be the extent of my concern or fear of him
- fakedang 3y agoWell he could have you shadowbanned on every platform except Onlyfans and Pornhub.
- Obscurity4340 3y agoHow so? Yallenge accepted Edit: moar elaboration please
- otikik 3y agoI think the implication is that he could “talk to his friends”, more than doing things directly.
- Obscurity4340 3y agoYa but that still ain't gonna tell them anything? Who uses "real" credentials anymore? Also, why doesn't she just hire a lawyer to help her sign up ?
- vasco 3y agoThis is what his sister said, they are just trolling I think.
- fakedang 3y agoYep, I'm trolling. Thought it was obvious, but apparently not.
- Obscurity4340 3y agowat
- vasco 3y agoHis sister has been reported to say that Sam Altman banned her from every platform except those two. It's been reported she might struggle with mental issues, though who knows what happened. So I'm pretty sure whoever said that was just trolling.
- Obscurity4340 3y agoHow the hell does that work? Why can't she use a VPN and not use her real identity like the rest of us? Does she insist on assuming her rightful place as an Altman? Edit: she seriously said that re:Pornhub?! What is her association with porn and why would she bring that up? Edit: unless the words came from her mouth, I wouldn't blow it up any further
- vasco 3y agoI don't know any of these people, just came across this stuff in the last couple of days and wanted to flag the possible troll, but here you go: https://twitter.com/phuckfilosophy/status/1709978285424378027 https://twitter.com/phuckfilosophy/status/170997828542437802...
- Obscurity4340 3y agoIts weird cuz he's gay so its duly disturbing if they shared in that discovery and also talked to Mom and Dad about it. This whole situstion sounds like it may have sufficient legs to moonlight as an Aristocrats joke
- hef19898 3y agoSounds like an easy way to get off of social media!
- Obscurity4340 3y ago[]
- Freedom2 3y agoEven federated platforms, or private ones that I run on my own? How does that work? Please be precise when you say "every".
- Obscurity4340 3y agoDefederate me harder, Altman
- Obscurity4340 3y agoHow would that benefit him other than discrediting his sister? She's not 1000% credible already in my view based on the tenor of her claims but I'm open to correction.
- dheera 3y agoI'd be more worried that all your employees don't want you there, and you'll be in for a lot of cold shoulder meetings every day. Doesn't sound like fun. The "powerful" people outside, matter a lot less. No matter what you do, if you're influential, about half the powerful will hate you and half will love you.
- Obscurity4340 3y agoIts like Mr. Burns relying on the competing diseases to bottleneck his death
- Obscurity4340 3y agoWhat does YC have to do with OpenAI?
- ShamelessC 3y agoSam Altman was President of YC and CEO of OpenAI.
- Obscurity4340 3y agoAnd...?
- ShamelessC 3y agoAre you trolling? I answered your question in the clearest way I could think to. I have no idea what the actual implications are of the relation. But it's there and it's suggested his network of friends from YC could bolster his position with OpenAI. No idea if that's true, but it's not like it is so strange a notion that it merits "playing dumb" like you're doing.
- Obscurity4340 3y agoIt just seems like such a weird claim. Like, does she have receipts to prove all these platforms are denying her? It just seems to be stretching credulity and I can't see how its possible for them to get this granular about it. I dunno, she needs to substantiate these things.
- stillwithit 3y agoAppeal to hallucinated authority
- Obscurity4340 3y agoUnlike my objection to the use of the concept of hullucination in relation to the output of LLMs, I concur here!
