Exactly what an OpenAI developer would understand. All the more reason to ride the grift that brought them this far

If you had such a chance to sit around while everyone else grew your potatoes, you would.
Like the PR teams got together and intentionally conjured semantics that tickle the same biological responses seen in religious true believers.
Consider “religion” as a biological state, not an abstract philosophical framework. Behavioral economics has been leveraged to embed the hallucination that is American Civic Life similarly to embedding religious mind viruses.
Given what we know now in neuroscience, how we brainwave sync with rooms of people just by being there, the leadership class reinforces among themselves hallucinations of their right to reach into all of our lives and claim them for themselves, just like the church.
You can find numerous examples across institutions and industry that meet all these criteria.
1. Pressure to maintain numbers… line must go up economy.
2. Fear and silence… quiet quitting, workers keep going in while expressing fear in private
3. Young uns and bigger than life CEO… see tech, finance, academia, politics exploitation of naive grads
4. Weak board of directors… voters and workers are subservient to 1%
5. Conflicts of interest overlooked… why do so few have so much reach into all our lives?
6. Innovation like no other… US capitalism is unsurpassed! World cannot do without it!! Resell yesterday with faster chips and flatter design!! … metrics hacks line up!!
7. Goodness in some areas atones for evil in others… we are burning up the planet for the next generation but how about that iPhone 15, dick rockets into space, and those massive F350s!
Academia grooms students to propagate curriculum, not define new ideas
You might be put at ease to read all that debt is a hallucination humanity has no obligation to pay.
Also after decades in IT hearing about one lapse in security after another (including entire iron mountain trucks being robbed back in the day) yet society seems capable of shrugging them off, it’s hard to take the anxiety seriously.
It’s possible the CEOs are not the only people in IT inflating the value of their contributions and ideas.

Make it appear on paper like there’s proper separation of concerns but really building a web to form monopoly with MS’s backing because they can’t get in trouble if some startup is doing it.
Just more shell company games to play the system, screw everyone else by using their churches to claim dominion over all of tech. These guys are too obvious now.
The elders who don’t know better are dying off leaving behind a more technically literate voter base.
From my reference frame your language is no more interesting than mine
I know the effort to memorize language norms and propagate them makes you feel important but from my reference frame none of you are
Letting capitalism dictate what math is public and private is pretty fucking draconian
Thanks for pointing out there are groups out there looking to influence our economic positions.
Where would I be with my understanding of the world if not for social media belaboring the usual and offering little net new?
Who are you going to work with?
Is there some place off Earth away from all these lessers you have to slum it with?
What puts you above the other billions on the planet that they should validate your sensibilities and engage in vacuous rhetorical debate when we can all clearly see how day to day life works?
Really tired of the puerile role play output of Karens, Special Boys, “free thinkers”. This planet and day to day is it.
You’re not that smart or saying anything that novel.
How much of that is real need and nostalgia for church and farm life?
Let’s use technology to give people more time off, see what outside the box things they come up with.
Everyone around me is an expert in some highly complex thing and we all go work in offices when there’s problems on our street the architects, general contractors, and electrical engineers could fix. But line must go up or we’re all commie trash, or some dumb shit.
The only meme the meat based cassette tapes of the US accept is “market charges what it must not heat you can afford.” Inflation deflates low effort buying power.
CEOs are not ignorant of the waste generated by the industrial pipelines their companies rely on. It’s why Trump and My Pillow types are freaking out so hard. Drop off in retail can hit online orders. Subsidized leisure travel and replacing shitty cheap pillows often are under threat if people buy items that last and save for fewer, nicer vacations.
Still not building enough, and the market always cools in winter.
Big Tech isn’t killing the internet. All the Ferengi that went into engagement farming are with their clickbait.
The Verge is like many other web assets these days; facing extinction and mad at everyone else over it.
What a shock, past human social pageantry is being obsoleted. Thats never happened before; we all speak Latin still, and serve the British monarchy, don’t you know.
Horse and buggy, rotary phone makers started a support group all the wannabe Lois Lanes and Clark Kent’s can join up with.
