Given that they tricked a vendor in using a secret metal finishing technique by lying and saying they had permission… I’d say the “wasn’t used for OpenAI’s benefit” argument is going to be a difficult case to make. They’ve got intent at the very least.
It’s the “ Copy data into extra large capacity micro sdcard” step that gets you caught. Nobody is stopping you from leaving with an SD card or USB stick at Google.
I can’t tell through text if you’re being sarcastic or not. So I’ll add some context for fun. Ran into this a few weeks ago apartment shopping with a friend. AI images of multiple apartments had:
- Relocated the sink from the back counter to the kitchen island.
- Added outlets that didn’t exist.
- Displayed furniture layouts that were not possible in the actual space. That couch looks great in that spot, except when you explore further you realize it’s sitting right up against the master bedroom’s door.
To that last point, no stager would lay it out that way because anyone viewing the apartment would take them to task for you know… having to drag a couch out of the way to open their bedroom door. Staging layouts have always been more pretty than practical but AI staging regularly puts functionally DOA layouts on display.
As far as I’m concerned it’s disingenuous at best, and deception realistically. The process is broken while this slop is in there.
For what it’s worth, as a third party I read your and qsera’s comments as saying the same thing.
“OpenAI's CEO says he's scared of GPT-5”

Marketing or actual fear? We’ve got 5 and 5.5 out now… he compared 5 to the Manhattan project. AI may one day be an economic Manhattan project but GPT 5 wasn’t it.
It’s a meme because they overdo it.
I’m not sure why I used inflation instead of the risk free rate. I guess I’m rusty!
It has earned ever so slightly more than the risk free rate since 2000. On an absolute basis it is a terrible investment. On a relative basis it is also a terrible investment. On a risk adjusted basis? Abysmal.
It peaked at $18B market cap in 2000. Adjusted for inflation this is 18x1.93=34.74B.
Today’s market cap is 45.35B.
It isn’t down, but it isn’t up much since 2000.
I completely agree from a logical perspective. However if the plane blew up and it came out that some passengers had posted online that there was a “bomb” blue tooth device and they didn’t turn around… the court of public opinion would be pretty harsh. This was more or less their only choice from a liability perspective.
I realize yours is the hip and edgy take but plenty of people have made a lot of money in the stock market without using material non public information.
You might want to do yourself a favor and add that context to the PR to distance yourself from the slanderous ai agent.
I think the metaphor is pretty extensible to handle the things you point out.
you could do everything right and still fail
Sometimes even a high probability draw doesn't get there on the river.
while someone else (like a nepo hire) can do everything wrong and still succeed
Some people always start with pairs, Axs, or suited connectors.
While the difference between the two may still be wide, it is a lot more narrow than it was a year ago. Some people find this concerning.
Haha. I read that the same way the first time I read it. The commenter means 3 years of renting GPU from nvidia via cloud services.
Ironically it may only be able to do this because it has been trained on Hickey’s creation. This was one of his criticisms.
The comment you’re replying to suggests “lived experience” is too broad, not too narrow. The issue isn’t that it fails to include your example. It fails to exclude other things. Part of my lived experience today was seeing a manatee. It is unlikely this will be passed on.
Sodexo or Aramark I assume? Unfortunately standard practice on University campuses across Canada and the USA.
I’m similar to you. I recently went as far as to buy a pdf for an out of print book and then paid to have it printed and bound.
I suppose a remarkable would be another route but… they are pricey.
The causality might be backwards there. Blu ray and other disk players are likely becoming scarce because people are using them less rather than people using them less because the devices are scarce.
What happened to Netflix DVD by mail was that Redbox ate its lunch, which ultimately was also a failing business model.
There might be some gems for you in this old thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22573204
Book recommendations for learning financial systems.
My mistake for sure. Thanks for giving me a chance to realize it. :)
Ah! I think I missed your point because I read your comment through the lens of the root comment. My apologies!
We’re actually largely in agreement, especially about content creators deserving compensation and the fact that distribution is vacuuming up most of it.
The market decided a long time ago that movies, songs, books, photographs etc were, in fact, worth nothing. That's the effect of digital media. It's completely incompatible with the free market.
This is such a willfully ignorant take, it’s wild. Anyone who has a cursory understanding of game theory can see that if this were true a simple recursion would occur:
1. Everyone would pirate movies/tv/books. 2. There would be $0 in producing media. 3. Significantly less media would be produced. Anything capital intensive would be gone. 4. Demand for anything that could be produced would skyrocket. Imagine putting together a blockbuster film when the world hasn’t seen one in a century. 5. People would pay money for the product of 4.
Just because we can get something for $0 doesn’t make it worth $0. I could enslave my neighbors and make them work for me, that doesn’t make human labor worth $0.
Sure you can cherry pick an example that would be difficult for me to monetize.
However I can think of plenty I’d do with the model weights for ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Can’t you?
I can go on with hundreds of examples. The Waymo source and models, as another example. Enumerating everything would detract from the message so I’ll stop here.
Interesting! I imagine this website is also full of software developers, startup founders, VCs and others who earn a living in software. How do you reconcile all of that work actually being worth $0 with the fact that we are earning a living?
It is my opinion that, as with anything that can be copied infinitely for free, his (and my) personal information is worth $0.
I realize I’m responding to an account created four minutes ago but… the output of nearly all work done on a computer meets this criteria. Is all work done on a computer worth $0 in your view?
I’d definitely use something like this too, but don’t have the luxury of telling my end users to.
They’re very nontechnical.
How is the Windows support in Ratatui? I recently developed something with a different library (also crossterm based) only to discover it did not work very well for my windows users and ended up having to build a GUI with Iced.
There’s a very real chance I just missed some initialization code that Ratatui might do out of the box that the other library was not.
Edit: Issues experienced by windows users were no colors, terminal flashing on every keypress, all keypresses registered as double.
Edit2: This miniature rant inspired me to go back to the commit and submit a patch to eliminate the event reporting on KeyUp and enable terminal colors.
What words does it feed into the prompt to achieve that? I’d love to be able to use it on non AI studio uses.
When people buy a car they sometimes get a loan from the auto manufacturer’s financial services arm. What they don’t usually get are warrants struck at a penny for 10% of the manufacturer.
You sound like you know what you’re talking about. I only think I know what I’m talking about. Help me understand: What am I missing in the OpenAI / AMD deal that makes it non circular?
or you have to physically segregate inventory by vendor, which is not practical.
The headline seems to indicate that the geniuses in logistics at Amazon have figured out how to make it practical!
