Why hasn't Sam Altman been arrested yet?
Why is OpenAI allowed to continue to operate?
Clearly it's a criminal organization.

Honestly... Since when reshuffling in a company's upper management is of any interest to anybody other than the people working for that individual at that company?
What next? They're gonna replace Bob at accounting because he didn't use AI to format his Excel sheets?
TBH I would be less against the cameras if they were open to everyone, so anyone could track anyone (equal footing, good for goose good for gander). Figure this would be so anathema to LE et al that it would be quickly shot down
a doozie to debug
I agree on the apps thing.... if I can do it from my desktop and a browser, I should be able to do the same from my phone and a browser. Apps should do things that the browser can't/shouldn't be allowed to do (interacting with other hardware, local storage, etc)
I won bar bets at a conference when the Respondus Lockdown Browser was first released and touted... all you had to do was change the user agent string in whatever browser you wanted to use.
Our nursing faculty really wanted it, I kept saying no because it took me mere moments to bypass and it would've added a ton of complexity to our computer lab environments, etc. They said "well, our students aren't like you, they are nurses not geeks", then I pointed out that they had 140-150 18-21 year old females, and our IT track department was the next building over and full of 18-21 year old males and if they doubted the two groups would intermix they could pull out the pics of the graduating class from 5 years prior and I could point out my then-girlfriend-now-wife, and all it would take is one for the word to get out and any pretense of security would evaporate.
As a sysadmin who could in theory lookup the admin passwords for our colleges police department, I have to do annual policy and cyber security training on accessing the NCJIS data, both the typical cyber security stuff and what that data is allowed to be accessed for. Just did my training last week, and non-appropriate access is a crime - this is not "the officer arrested the guy because he didn't know the law" stuff, this is "the officer violated the law" stuff.
What the hell is that? Is that a salesman in PC-speak?
how many jobs are out there that require a degree in Gender Studies specifically (as opposed to "any 4 year degree" types)
His podcast Better Offline is squarely targeted at people who are very much online. Indeed his entire gig is the epitome of online living.
If Ed Zitron really felt better offline, he wouldn't be making a living off of a podcast and constant AI bashing.
Not that I necessarily disagree with him though... It's just that the messenger doesn't really befit the message.
If even he thinks AI is dubious, you know AI is bad news.
Lol

This is the blandest, most watered-down way to say "lost their job" yet. Quite nauseating.

They don't know how to do Facebook very well either: it's been pretty much stagnant and enshittified to death for the past 22 years, and it feels like a forum for greying people whose greying friends haven't bothered to move on either, or to get the date of the next annual meeting of the bridge club.
