Or maybe it’s just what it looks like: A good old boys network of incompetent inbreds whose only qualification is that their parents could buy them memberships in the right clubs.

The software industry has shifted its entire value proposition from “we make tools that help you make or save money” to using political clout and the dollar hegemony to capture, control, and loot entire sectors of the various economies of the world.

More ass licking to Trump.

And everyone’s a full-time suspect now in the US.

Seriously, VibeVoice? Microslop really has a penchant for the worst names.

Just ridicule him in public and call him out for what he is. That’s hurting the man more than any bullet could.

Bullseye.

He's firing scientists and grabbing every last cent he can competently enough. And is anyone still reporting on Epstein files? He just doesn't care that the whole country goes down in flames.

The article says that Trump says a law enforcement officer has been wounded. Has that been proven wrong?

Incompetence only if viewed from a citizen's perspective. From the perspective of the kleptocrats, it's working as intended. They couldn't care less if the country or the whole world goes to shit as long as they make a profit.

So the surveillance and the manipulation your kids are exposed to is safe? How does that work?

Endless Toil is the future. I believe in you, guys.

And then what? Their gigahertz machine hearts will skip a beat out of empathy?

In ancient times, war was a chance for the poor to become wealthy. Now it has been capitalistically optimized. Now it only makes the rich richer.

after wasting a day on this, I am now just going to go through the (single file) of code and just fix it myself.

Seriously, you wasted a whole day just so you wouldn't have to look at a single file of code?

Update: some 20 minutes later, I have fixed the bug. Despite not knowing this particular programming language or framework.

Be really careful there, you might have accidentally learned something.

A contradiction in terms is not called a tautology.

End up? It already is.

That guy is a snake, not just while at YC.

As for the titular question, Betteridge's law of headlines applies. The answer is: No, we can't trust Sam Altman.

Almost as good as the cat aquarium!

Makes sense. Cat probably thought you were grooming and warming up the keyboard just for her.

Seeing people work tirelessly to make The Matrix a reality is great. I can't wait!

Did somebody not believe what I said? Here it is:

But bots do not spend money (yet?), people do.

This is interesting, but techniques like CDCL seem to only ever find any one valuation that makes a proposition true. My homegrown solver finds all valuations that make a proposition true and then can eliminate redundancies, such that `X or not X and Y` gets simplified to `X or Y`, just to mention one example (proof: truth tables are identical). Are there any other SAT solvers out there that do something like that? My own one suffers from combinatorial explosion in the simplification stage when expressions get "complex" enough. But then, the simplification is NP-complete, AFAICT.

[Apple] promised apps with no viruses and no risks; a place where everything was curated and safe.

Apart from the viruses, nothing of the above is true any more. Apple doesn't care if you're getting screwed over by an app, and neither does Google. If they can increase their profits by taking away our freedom and/or control over "our" devices, then it WILL happen, as sure as death and taxes.

Oh, not the library that makes Rust code usable from C++. It's time we also had namespaces for names of software.

All of this only goes to show how far we've come on our journey to profit optimization. We could optimize away those pesky humans completely if it weren't for the annoying fact that they are the source of all those profits.

That's the one interesting thing about cesspools like OpenAI. They could be treasure troves for sociologists and others if commercial interests didn't bar them from access.

And it is sad to see how commenters here are in denial about it.
