Fi 🏳️⚧️lol openai's fucked.
"Disney is also exiting the deal it signed with OpenAI last year, in which it pledged to invest $1 billion in the company and agreed to license some of its characters for use in Sora."
Realized that mickey mouse porn wasn't good for their image huh.
Oh, per -this- story, apparently openai fucked -themselves- by shuttering the service without notifying Disney about it?
lol, wow, that's a -huge- fuckup.
That's gonna make all their other "partners" second-guess their relationship, if openai's so chaotic as to randomly shut down essential parts of such partnerships without warning.
Anyone doing even the -slightest- amount of due diligence should disqualify openai from consideration from this alone - a billion dollars in cash -and- access to a treasure-trove of licensing? that they just randomly drop on the floor because they're pivoting to a "super app" that nobody's going to want?
That's not the hallmark of a serious business in the slightest.
"OpenAI executives are now focusing on other research areas, including robotics and building artificial general intelligence."
So, things that need massive investments in hardware and things that are not possible with this tech. Got it.
NosirrahSec 🏴☠️ guillotine enthusiast@munin I don't think the geniuses chasing AGI right now are actually intelligent enough to realize just how far we are from functional conscious thought or even a generalized "intelligence" they're drooling for.
I'm not an expert and just the math about paths of neurons firing and how memories are stored (assuming we mimic what we know about consciousness, that is...)?
We're nowhere remotely near any sort of consciousness.
@munin and research into AGI may be worthy, but this isn't research and they're not even trying to hide that.
I don't think it's worthwhile as an avenue myself, but then I prefer fixing real problems that exist now, like "dependency management"
I have a scalding take that those people who confuse the narrative monologue in their head for their Self are incapable of assessing whether or not a machine has exhibited intelligence.
Cap Ybarra@munin idk if their other partners' sense is overpowering their avarice yet. here's hoping
I dare say it depends on whether their other partners are using openai, claude, or gemini to think for them.
kouhai, of the health issues@munin goog moment
The Doctor@munin One does not fuck with The Mouse.
Chris Petrilli@munin having worked there, I can tell you, if there's one thing Disney loves, it's surprises.
Arazil@munin Bullshit generation company contracts found to be bullshit. Does that sum it up? 🤔
Kluthulhu' XOR 1=1--@munin Good thing Disney is famously lenient regarding legal agreements...
Ada Worcester 🏳️⚧️@munin yeehaw time for the cascade as all the money people realize that maybe this LLM shit isn't the magic solution to all your problems
