I have to admit I'm enjoying OpenAI's progression from "we're building the future of synthetic sentience, we will be the birthplace of a new silicon hypergod, everyone better watch out" to "well, artificial general intelligence is kind of hard to define, maybe that's not a useful term" to "we can't figure out how to make any money selling people personally-tailored pornography generators so we're turning their chatbot girlfriends off."

I'm looking forward to their next big innovation!

@mhoye This last one was a breakthrough! I hope they can continue this innovation by shutting down ChatGPT and the whole company.

@mhoye as the rubber hits the road, we are learning that there is not very much rubber, and not very much road.

the only upside to this mess will be watching the slow-motion car crash as it all falls apart.

@mhoye I am beginning to understand why Altman and Musk hooked up in the first place.
