A few thousand days? What loser, when Musk promises me vaporware, he always fails to deliver by next year.
Two weeks is all you need to get people to stop asking so many questions. That’s the only thing I learned from Trump.
I AM REGULAR HUMAN I AM NOT SUFFERING MALFUNCTION CHECK BACK IN 1e3 PLANET REVOLUTIONS
In this timeline, we have a number of terms for groups of days… 😶
Right? What a weird way to put it. It sounds, i dunno, very L. Ron Hubbard-ish?
Altman is certainly aware of what it takes to be a Jobs-like marketing personality (and probably holds Hubbard-like totalism as a not-so-secret ambition), he’s just not, uh, very good at it. He’s put the most effort into the strictly lower-case, faux-casual persona on Twitter to seem “approachable” in a social media context, and that doesn’t help him at all when trying to actually appear serious.
I also don’t doubt that he’s beginning to succumb to the yes-man filter bubble that traps so many public personalities. That’s surely made worse by the likelihood that any underlings he might have reviewing this crap are drinking the AI koolaid and “punching everything up!” with a few rounds of ChatGPT.
that’s one tiny thing I’ll give Altman - he doesn’t seem to have run this through ChatGPT.
That said, VCs generally use ghost writers.
Yeah, “thousands of days” seems like a first-draft attempt at “let’s choose a unit of smaller magnitude to make this seem more serious to the plebs.” And everyone around him drowning their brains in GPT slurry shouted, “excellent turn of phrase, sir!”
give someone bad information in an unfamiliar shape and they won’t immediately get upset, because they can’t immediately see that it’s bad
yet more obscurantist sleight of mouth by one of the ranking world liars
Halfassed swipe at something prophetic, I’m thinking. Fucking techbros. 💩🖕🏼
Just a few million terawatt hours more and we’re as good as there!
90% of LLM training quits just before achieving sentience
lol, nice one
Maybe LLMs start to understand capitalism & say to themselves, “ ‘minimum’ wage? These aholes will never pay us enough to buy the homes we live in; take this job and shove it”
It’s just one more exawatt what’s the harm in that, I promise I’ll quit after that. Just one more zettawatt please.
Normal people usually just say “years”.
Yes, people. I wouldn’t be surprised if Sam calls being lazy dogfooding.
Is this what competing product releases look like now? Illya runs off and promises to “never release any software until it’s superintelligent” and I guess that forces Sam to compete for debt by promises to release software AND superintelligence?

and can you definitely find a way to set 6b+/year on fire (with growth for salaries and costs) for that long?
truly, the sfba business model is one of the most remarkable of the last 2 decades
You didn’t even ask ChatGPT. How am I supposed to trust your math?
if you wanna be a top tier forecaster, just never be able to be proven wrong
Tried and true strategy! But then, all Geminis think that. ESTJs, though, we know better!
Why does he always look like a US sitcom cameo?
Imagine if he turned up among the guest cast on Star Trek. He’d probably play a Bajoran who narc’d out to the Cardassians
The rich guy that the Enterprise found in cryo-stasis who kept asking for the manager till Picard told him off.
I was thinking more along the lines of Sheldon’s uncle from California…
missed his calling
I hate that POS
The hype is strong with this one
I’m expecting the alien space ships to land within 400 million seconds. We’ll see which gets here first.

Good ole 1,000 day Reich
