OpenAI's board has fired Sam Altman - Communick News

They found out that AI is a lame fad that will go the way of crypto?
Except that’s definitely not the case, since unlike crypto shit, the latest wave of AI tech is already useful and found lots of applications. It may never reach AGI level, but that doesn’t mean it’s not immensely useful.
Yeah I guess, I just see a mishmash of consumed data presented where you have to tweak parameters and so forth. Some gobbledygook nonsense presented as facts, three arms and six fingers in generated art, etc. just seems like shit to me

Yesterday I gave OpenAI’s latest chatbot a photo of a challenging board game quiz card with questions that I couldn’t answer.

The questions were intentionally difficult, no ordinary human is expected to be able to answer them all - at least not without spending an hour on googling/etc. Most of us could only answer a couple of the questions.

ChatGPT answered all of them, in two seconds, and perfectly.

There are definitely some things it’s not very good at, but there are equally things it’s very very good at - this is a very valuable product category (unlike crypto).
