There’s answer for you there if you’re willing to see it, whether you agree with it or not. So there’s that.

That doesn’t seem to be worth the effort to astroturf HN. We are not as important in Apple sales volume scale as you think we are.

Apply your analogy all the way through though. When your house is on fire, the last thing that should happen is the firefighter shouting at you that you’re doomed and based on their expertise on fire it’s definitely gonna kill you. But this

Having in mind the allegations by Apple against OpenAI, I don't find it unthinkable that there could've been some form of misconduct happening there.

Exhibit A: Here we have someone who's been sold war and inequality as the drivers of progress. Coincidentally, their obedience was deemed fiscally advantageous in order to advance the interests of the members of the 1% club.

The AI perhaps wouldn't be such an "imminent threat" if not for wealth inequality, consolidation of power, monopoly, and the opaqueness of it all.

It seems like that’s the opposite of what happened. They started attacking the problem when they got a wind of a possible solution from certain individuals.

It doesn’t have to come to this. Seems far fetched. If this is a stunt (which I’m not saying it is) the reason could be that he wants to found his own AI company. If I see in a few months that happens, then I’d be more inclined to think tha

Shouldn’t this very capable model they’ve developed be able to identify promising problems? That’s what I’d expect from how the model is being presented and advertised.

by geraneum 11d ago
Evidently that’s not what’s happening and I don’t think anyone seriously expects that (considering the outcome of hugging face campaign). It’s a marketing technique as old as GTA’s early days and it’s apparently still effective in one form

The benefit could be the effect you described. For some to say it’s breakaway intelligence. Aligns with AGI narrative.

But the prompter is supposed to be someone who doesn’t know web dev. That’s their selling point.

For people delirious about AGI, you don’t get to it by redefining it favorably.

I find it hard to believe that this is the main motivation for most who contributors to OSS. Do you have a reference, research or poll that corroborate this? You’re vastly overestimating the value of these “fixes” that now go to private for

Discussing the issues, achieving consensus, making sure the fix fits the existing patterns and actually warrants the change, etc. These are and have always been a challenging part of contributing to open source. Typing code in your private

False equivalence. Maybe that’s what they fool themselves with. Salivating, looking at China, not understanding the massive upward social mobility in recent time there. Why stop at China, look at Saudi Arabia, Qatar, etc.
