Kind of a tone-deaf thing to say about a project that might cause literal human extinction

The technology was not marketed on exuberance. It was marketed on fear - both for the business segment and the retail segment. This is the appropriate counter cultural response to it.

We are supposed to be irrationally exuberant

Sometimes they forget we aren’t getting paid anything so actually it’s a lot less fun.
Replying to @TheStalwart
Specifically, irrationally exuberant

Telling investors how to feel, great strategy

Lol, ChatGPT is over three years old. It's the most advertised product in history (ubiquitous media coverage). Pretty much everyone has tried it or a similar model. We all know exactly "what it can do". If we're not exuberant enough, there is your reason.

Current market excitement and capex justification based on promise that agi or whatever will eliminate the need for workers Everyone thinks it's going to take their job and won't be able to make a living anymore Can't imagine why people aren't excited enough it

when you make $1 trillion commitments and only have a few billion in cash, you need A LOT more exuberance to not go bankrupt.
Replying to @TheStalwart
How about explaining how they generate revenue on every product instead of using a word borrowed from Greenspan ! This company is a joke.

High end machine learning period.

"Have you even injected AI into the parts between your toes yet? It's the best part!"

Maybe because it’s largely a solution looking for a problem?

I’d be more enthusiastic if ChatGPT didn’t crash constantly on me—would be willing to pay more to avoid that too.

Market should limit down on this news

Is this the only ai model? If the answer is no, then let them fail.

Way too many people aren’t sufficiently optimistic incorporating AI into their life

Right because what markets need is more hype not proof

I think we’re set on the exuberant front. Let’s throw in a tiny bit more skepticism - you lead the way, Joe

This is what exuberance looks like
Sam Altman Responds to Brad Gerstner on OpenAl's Compute Commitments: “First of all, we're doing well more revenue than that. Second of all, Brad, if you want to sell your shares, I'll find you a buyer. I just…enough. Like, you know, people are… I think there's a lot of people who would love to buy OpenAl shares. I don't think you… people who talk with a lot of like breathless concern about our compute stuff or whatever that would be thrilled to buy shares. So I think we we could sell, you know, your shares or anybody else's to some of the people who are making the most noise on Twitter whatever about this very quickly. We do plan for revenue to grow steeply. Revenue is growing steeply. We are taking a forward bet that it's going to continue to grow grow and that not only will ChatGPT keep growing, but we will be able to become one of the important Al clouds, that our consumer device business will be a significant and important thing, that Al that can automate science will create huge value. So, you know, there are not many times that I want to be a public company, but one of the rare times it's appealing is when those people are writing these ridiculous ‘OpenAl is about to go out of business’ and, you know, whatever. I would love to tell them they could just short the stock and I would love to see them get burned on that.” @sama via @BG2Pod

It's a jobs program for hallucinated digital workers

People are struggling and AI ain’t helping. The world has gone to the dogs, and the tech industry as a whole is very largely responsible for that, in not doing enough for people, laying people off, importing dangerous and alien cultures, increasing energy costs, getting them sucked into engagement wells, marriage-ending and family-destroying temptations and distractions, and ultimately reducing the quality of life for all outside their stupidly-salaried bubble. If anything, tech leaders should be terrified of people realizing what a direct influence the tech industry has had in making peoples lives objectively worse in almost every way and getting paid astronomically for it. If they want people to be exuberant, give them something to be exuberant for. But they can’t - for all their data-harvesting, galactic-scale compute, and stables of PhDs and math olympiads, they haven’t got a clue what people actually want. They’re not even ignoring people’s wishes, they’re legitimately oblivious to them. Stunning, really. Remarkably incompetent people

You know...OpenAI could create a bunch of fake women, open up a bunch of OF's accounts, and then watch the money flow in...but, no, they would rather get handouts...
Replying to @TheStalwart
Yah we should be exuberant over a pile of factually and logically inaccurate crap with dumb opinions that can’t draw a five-fingered hand.

Fuck OpenAI

Open-AI hiring immigrants over Americans It's Capitalism. Open-AI going bankrupt and sold off in pieces. Capitalism is beautiful. Let them burn.
