Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Elon Musk drops suit against OpenAI and Sam Altman WWW.CNBC.COM Quote Elon Musk on Tuesday withdrew his lawsuit against OpenAI and two of the company’s co-founders, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, in California state court. In March, Musk had filed a lawsuit for breach of contract and fiduciary duty. A hearing was scheduled for Wednesday in San Francisco in which the judge was going to consider whether the case should be dismissed as requested by the defendants including Altman and Brockman, the current CEO and president of OpenAI, respectively. Experts told CNBC in March that the case was built on a questionable legal foundation, because the contract at the heart of the suit was not a formal written agreement that was signed by all parties involved. Rather, Musk had alleged that the early OpenAI team had set out to develop artificial general intelligence, or AGI, “for the benefit of humanity,” but that the project has been transformed into a for-profit entity that’s largely controlled by principal shareholder Microsoft. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine ordering is like using any car nav system where it doesn't understand you and keeps cutting you off. Plus all these systems are terrible if you have accents or are saying non-english words. Or maybe it's like calling the DMV. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's exactly one sentence in here where they make an attempt to explain why this is better than just having Al Michaels himself record these, which is that Al Michaels will call you by your own name while you're watching these. ...Why would you want that? Is this supposed to be an Al Michaels dating sim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for a fact marketing teams (both internal at corporations and consultancies) will pay companies to generate engagement. Some are bots, some are working out of a call center. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of social media influencers do the same. Then that drives up social media exposure and makes it appear to people that something is more popular than it is. I was working with some people who even purchased hundreds of Discord members to create activity in their server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSpreader Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Thats why all the social media influencer stuff/engagement values can't be trusted at all. I worked on a product and marketing was telling us it would sell 6 million units based on the amount of engagement, the previous version of that product sold 3 million. They had the mic and us "on the floor" making it didn't have a voice. The product sold 3 million like we said it would, the team got laid off, the marketing team is still there 10+ years later.

SuperSpreader Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 I also don't know if you guys have ever interacted with major influencers at all, but it's all fake. They usually have an entire crew including boom mics and lightning rigs, the only thing is that there's a phone as the camera on a tripod or moving dolly. Their personalities off camera are completely different. It's a little film crew and they're actors. The first time I had to interact with one and saw the personality switch when the "camera was rolling" really fucked with me. I fucked up that interview so bad bc I was just so thrown off by the experience. Like wait they were kinda shy and normal 1 second ago. Anyway, it's all bullshit man.

I spend most of my days speaking to the C suite at companies and I can't remember a conversion that didn't include AI in a long time. AI is repatriating workloads back on prem from the public cloud. It's affecting the economics of IT across the market. We haven't even scratched the surface yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
