elffjs··on The Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence
A comment on the linked post from Burt Totaro:

> If I thought this was a good thing to do, this would be a great group of people to do it. But I have immediate misgivings. OpenAI has had some very bad publicity, and so they are trying to exploit the trust and respect that these mathematicians command. It is unrealistic to think that this group can change the way OpenAI does business; I don’t need to tell you all the objections that people have raised to that. Is it a good idea to help their crisis management?

elffjs··on Tim Cook's CEO-Like Pay Package Shows He Isn't Going Anywhere
To me the interesting bit here is about Phil Schiller:

> Ternus and services chief Eddy Cue want to make even more money from the App Store and figure out ways to raise margins and squeeze additional recurring revenue from the platform. Schiller, on the other hand, seems to believe that such moves will only further irk developers and governments. While there was no internal blowup or anything like that, it’s something he wanted no part of.

The bot consistently posts this thread on January 2nd every year (unless that date lies on the weekend). I would wait.
