You know what? Sure, fuck it, why not? I don't even have a problem with OpenAI getting billions of dollars to do R&D on LLMs. They might actually turn out to have some practical applications, maybe.
My problem is that OpenAI basically stopped doing real R&D the moment ChatGPT became a product, because now all their money goes into their ridiculous backend server costs and putting increasingly silly layers of lipstick on a pig so that they can get one more round of investment funding.
AI is a really important area of technology to study, and I'm all in favour of giving money to the people actually studying it. But that sure as shit ain't Sam Altman and his band of carnival barkers.
I mean this respectfully. The character Everett True is known as someone who tells the truth even when it's not popular.
Being compared to Everett True is the greatest compliment I have ever been given, and am honour of which I am in no way worthy.
Carnival barkers 🤣
