I don't trust Sam Altman to lead an AGI project. I think he's a deeply untrustworthy individual, low in integrity and high in power seeking

It doesn't bring me joy to say this. I rather like Sam Altman. I like his writing, I like the way he communicates clearly, I like how he…

New platforms and tools may allow a person to create a feature-length film from their living room. But can they really compete with Hollywood studios?

This will continue to ring the death knell for retail shopping. Why try on clothes in person when you can have an AI do it for you online.

This is a truly remarkable piece by The Wall Street Journal
A poll of 250 American students showed vast majority support the “from the river to the sea” chant.
53% couldn’t name the river & sea. Some said Caribbean (?!)
More than 10% thought Arafat was Israel’s first president (?!)

Third, my prior is strongly against Sam after working for him for two years at OpenAI:

They need to create a Pulitzer category for headlines just for whoever wrote this.

'Microaggressions are condemned with extreme moral outrage and yet violence against Jews seems to have found a place of tolerance on campus,' says Marc Rowan, chair of The Wharton School's board of advisors. 'It's unfortunately the environment we live in on campus.'

I want to say a few words about what I think is THE most important issue in the current writers' strike: georgerrmartin.com/notablog/2023/…

Will it take writers, directors, and actors to save all of us from the robot apocalypse?

The Hollywood writers strike is 'the first skirmish in a new war,' where AI could take almost all creative jobs.
