Hey, if you're the type of person that can start typing a reply to an argument, then decide that actually it's not worth bothering with and delete the reply, I want you to know:

You're doing fantastic, and you should be proud of yourself. I wish more people had that kind of restraint.

Today in 1972 — PONG debuted in arcades.

A home edition followed in 1975, allowing us to burn those white bars into our TV screens.

I mean, if Elon Musk wanted Parler, I’m sure he could have gotten the real thing for a lot less than 43 billion…

And a heads up everyone, I definitely turned this off on my parent’s TV last year but it was BACK this year. Software updates may turn it back on. Sinister.

A fundamental narrative failure of everyone talking about OpenAI as the company that wants to build safe AI is that their literal claim to fame is rushing to ship ChatGPT based on a technology which Google invented but thought was too unsafe to ship.

This is a company focused on shipping generative AI tech as quickly as possible and capturing as many customers as possible before competitors catch up.

They are AI doomers mainly to slow down the industry not themselves.
