I have no idea what MS is doing with AI internally, but predictive text is only one of the avenues towards AGI which sure seems to be the direction OpenAI (and everyone else currently looking to sell a product) are going. There are certainly other directions MS can go in the same field without putting all their eggs in one basket.

Can you describe what you believe his vision is that you're referring to and what you think others in the field are not doing correctly?

From what I understand he was fired by the non-profit board of the company and it's the investors and money people who want him back. It sounds like the opposite, the people making it are becoming concerned about what is about to start happening with this tech.

Experts from different companies have been saying AGI within a decade and that Al the current issues seem solvable.

Sutskever, who also co-founded OpenAI and leads its researchers, was instrumental in the ousting of Altman this week, according to multiple sources. His role in the coup suggests a power struggle between the research and product sides of the company, the sources say.

I know very little of the situation (as does everyone else not directly involved), but out of experience, when the people making a thing are saying one thing and the people selling the thing (and thus running the show for some reason) feel everything is just fine, it means not great things for the final product....which in this case is the creation of sentient artificial life with unknown future ramifications....

What exactly do you think happens after we guys get fucked?

From what I hear from Trump, it's terrible and incredibly unfair (for him).

I just don't get it. There is a significant portion of the population that watches that exact same thing and believes it to be the epitome of manliness. How the fuck did this happen?

A legit ~50% reduction in the government based on a random metric with no thought given to consequence or if the government would even still function.

One might even call it "arbitrary and capricious."

It isn't about who is doing it more, it's about giving examples. Those examples have to come from somewhere, and if you aren't cherrypicking...those examples are going to skew in one direction, which is the original complaint I was anticipating.

I don't like the idea of having to provide an equal amount of examples from 'both sides' when that isn't matching reality, on an issue specifically affecting one political party more than the other (or maybe we should bring back the fairness doctrine, I don't know). There are misinformation examples from probably every part of the political spectrum, but they should be exemplified proportionally. Showing the reality, which is that a majority of fake news is generated by conservative sources, is important.

Are Republicans already unironically upset that the majority of examples of misinformation are from conservative sources?

Not in this field anymore

but used to be a landscaper

Great line.

Of course there is zero way each of them will find that many people, let alone the levels below that. It’s a scam that benefits those higher up, and the ones lower will likely not receive anything.

And part of the scam is to tell people that there's still time to be one of the early higher ups scamming other people!

You can even leave your doors unlocked and let your guard down.

Even for a minute?

Agreed. I want a better torrent.

I just started loading trailers all day compared to an office job before and I was up before 7 on Sunday and slept in on Saturday.

I just started

First, congrats on a new job and take it easy because "just started a job more physically demanding than I'm used to" is among the most common workplace injury situations. Second, physical work is in a lot of ways less mentally exhausting than desk work but (obviously) more physically demanding, and they can both be equally exhausting, especially in the day after day month after month grind. Decision fatigue is a real thing and workplace burnout has been growing for years.

Before I had kids, after taking into account travel to work, cooking, and cleaning, I usually had about 3 or so hours to myself a day. Once you add additional life responsibilities (kids, aging parents, disabled family, house repairs) it starts to add up.

Something can be both exhausting and also not slave hours. But I'm glad your happy with your work hours in your current circumstances.

The only people who profit from a media circus here are Trump and the media....and those just so happen to be the two groups asking for it.

Now imagine 4-8s at the same pay (and productivity because you aren't perpetually exhausted by working 40+ hours a week in addition to all the other regular life things everyone needs to do).

Nothing says Union-buster like being a billionaire.

I was going to add extra words there, but no, billionaire is sufficient.

It's all the Invisible Hand of the Market^TM. It just so happens that the "hand" part is actually "money" and the "invisible" part is only if you're willfully ignorant.

And Elon has enough hands to fistfuck us all at once...or something. I lost the metaphor.
