Sam Altman rocketing to the top of the list on why b̶i̶l̶l̶i̶o̶n̶a̶i̶r̶e̶s̶ milliardaires have no right to exist

Violet MadderShameless rotten bastards.
He knows damn well he's going to be a mass murderer, if he isn't already.
Nazo@blogdiva You know what I find funny?
The LLMs these """AI""" companies are pushing to pretend are general AI (they're not, but we'll put that aside) actually would make better CEOs than people like him. And they don't have to be paid.
Boards of directors out there, consider that for a moment. Why are you buying the Altmans fifty yachts per year when all you have to do is run an aging computer in a back room that you ask questions once in a while and it gives a sufficiently inane response to?
Julescelt@blogdiva I want to ask how society have gotten to the point where the deaths of its memebers is ok for the economy. Or to make billionaires more money because...reasons?
But I know the answer, capitalism has always valued profits over the humans making their s**t for them. Ffs.
viq@julescelt01 @blogdiva "deaths of members of society is OK for economy"
That part has been practiced a bunch since COVID joined the party, now everyone just pretends it never did. As Lord Farquaad eloquently put it, "some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make."
It's been a long time since such people have faced consequences from their actions and decisions by way of crowd, and have forgotten that laws exist to *protect* them from that.
Nicole Parsons@Npars01 i enjoyed that. thanks!
Alan Campbell@blogdiva this is the same maggot who tried to equate the costs of AI with the cost of raising a human being. He is one broken f’ing individual.
GhostOnTheHalfShellAbsolutely CHARMING
Anthropic’s ethics-washing was despised by the people in the administration who consider seeking legal indemnification as soy.
But here is Sammy boy looking for the same thing
mimiimim@GhostOnTheHalfShell @blogdiva They are the ultimate parasites.
Jack Yan (甄爵恩)@blogdiva Nice to see I am not the only one who uses milliard and milliardaire!
@I vote a big fat NO way
WorldTravelerAll7@blogdiva 🤣 🤣 🤣
i mean, why the fuck wouldn't they? neither they nor their creations/creators understand the value of life

@blogdiva Sam Altman is a giant sack of IDGAF-about-anyone-except-myself-and-need-to-be-smacked-around.
𝙲:\𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚔𝚣𝚎𝚗> █@markwyner @blogdiva Most smackable face in the business too !
DFX4509B (Joshua Mason)@blogdiva 'Madoff' Altman needs to rot in prison until he dies like Bernie Madoff did.
It's really sad that just 18 years ago we locked Madoff up until he died in prison for pulling what was at the time the largest Ponzi scheme in history, yet we're letting people like Altman do whatever they want now.
Cafou Fraise 🍓I rarely come across such a clear public statement of intent to commit crimes.
Nine Stones Close@blogdiva hopefully his own AI destroys him. He’s an asshole.

The_Unknown_One@blogdiva Giving A.I. a licence to kill - Is one of the most stupid ideas I have ever heard.
Theis Holtz@The_Unknown_One @blogdiva or just a way for genocidal maniacs to blame tools for mass killings.

Graeme 🏴@blogdiva "as long as they did not intentionally or recklessly cause" -- well, they are all by their own admission reckless -- "move fast and break things". So apart from the absurdity of the whole "no our fault" idea, it breaks on that concept.
However, I expect the bill will pass if they set the bribes high enough.

pL@blogdiva they still haven't paid anything for stealing the content their entire technology is based on eh?
Dirk RitterRandom side note:
Also applies to robots. You bring the skills you learned to the table, get paid the usual rates to teach the robots to do your job and the capitalists take your skills and multiply those by crazy numbers, generating huge profits.
Taxes on those things should be astronomical, so don't get fooled when they themselves propose some moderate taxation, because the numbers will more than likely be *hugely* in their favor even with presumably “high“ taxes - which of course they will more than likely lobby against with crazy amounts of money, because they've very likely already done the math.

AI has two components: one is hype, and one is real. Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is hype, large language models (LLMs) are real. The owners of an LLM who sell it as AGI, or as a precursor to AGI, are engaging in sales fraud. They have a little theory, but it only works because they don't need to understand it in order to explain it to the gullible. It is market bubble making material, and here we are.

killickAs far as I can tell, corporations exist to shift liabilities from profit-taking activities away from the owners. That's it. That's the whole point. It's completely natural for corporations to amorally avoid any liability they can, regardless of actual culpability. Sometimes, the liabilities are externalized costs borne by the public, such as supplemental food aid for underpaid staff, or environmental harm. Other times, like in this case, its seeking laws protecting the company from lawsuits that result from profit-making activities. Sometimes, the profit would be impossible without the avoidance of the liabilities. Look at Facebook in court lately, trying to explain that preventing harm is too expensive for their business model.
