I see a lot of people getting really upset about Discord enshitification. How. Many. Fucking. Times. When you invest your life into a corporate owned, shareholder run platform, it *will* become unusable. We've seen this over and over. Why do you keep making the same mistake?
We have spent 100x more compute training AI to generate waifu art than to solve protein folding. I am not saying this is the Great Filter, but if aliens find our radioactive remains, they’re going to be very confused by the hard drives...

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!
