How is the OpenAI board gonna fire Sam Altman just because he gave answers that sounded plausible but weren't actually accurate?
@anildash Best explanation
@anildash let's make it general and fire every software engineer ever
@anildash genuinely hope ChatGPT wrote the announcement
@anildash Top take, would read again
@anildash "I was hallucinating"
@anildash did he respond with a level of certitude that was practically robotic? If he’s improperly prompted he may hallucinate, you can’t really tell.
Another case of garbage-in-garbage-out?
@anildash that’s the good shit Anil
@jimray people don't realize i've been training for this for decades
@marcprecipice @anildash @jimray Excellent.
Most excellent.
@anildash would it be fair to say you’ve ingested a massive amount of online content and are now able to respond to a variety of prompts with OWOWOW ok sorry sorry
@anildash A+ work here. Well done.
@anildash why can't I boost this more than once?
@electricarchaeo
@anildash AI out here taking people's jobs
@anildash THAT was the best take
@anildash I’m still trying to figure out how this non-profit / for-profit organization is supposed to work. Hopefully the new CEO will figure it out.
@ktaylor @anildash They didn't disband the 501(c)(3)?? They migrated all of the employees over to the LLC, but some remained on both for administrative reasons. I tuned out shortly after the transition since I was too busy recovering from my abusive ex and wound up quitting in early 2019, only a few months after the LLC happened.
@anildash He was just hallucinating, you can't help that!
@anildash Next thing you know they’ll be requiring CEOs to DO WORK. Madness.
@anildash Ba-dump-tssshh!
@anildash That's so perfect
@anildash
I feel the entire basis of my career slipping out from under me.
@anildash Oooooh, savage!
@anildash
I originally read the news as that the AI had fired him. Proper 'Skynet self-aware' stuff.
How reassuringly dull the reality of boardroom infighting is in comparison.
@anildash Could be the next President with that kind of history.
@anildash Out. Standing.
@anildash tough but fair
@anildash ...with a college-educated diction that lent him an air credibility, no doubt
@anildash you win the internet today.
@anildash he's going to be assigned more consumer-facing tasks that align with his talents.
@anildash "never get high on your own supply"
@anildash We live in a world that runs off controlling people through misinformation and oppression. God forbid someone actually tells the truth?
@anildash At last, the hypocrisy...
@anildash possible answer to the surprise, indeed
@anildash "I wasn't lying, I was hallucinating" repeated Sam while being escorted out of the building.
@anildash
I hate myself for not thinking of this take, and it’s all your fault
@anildash
Also [wipes away manly tear] I’m proud of you, son.
@anildash LOL! Take my damn upvote.
Well, at least they have a ready made replacement, ready to go.
