It’s a scam, it’s always been a scam, and it is so absurdly transparent as a scam I’d be laughing my ass off if it weren’t DESTROYING EVERY INDUSTRY IN WHICH I WRITE.
OpenAI— the literal *Industry Leader* in LLM/GPT-style "AI"— can't afford to keep its lights on w/o massive outside investments, & even the people who could wring a 7+ figure salary out of their coffers are jumping ship in light of the for-profit direction. Seems… Pretty bad, for "AI" as an industry
Mira Murati, the chief technology officer, and two others are leaving as leaders including Sam Altman work to transform the start-up.
If it looks to good to be true, it usually is to good to be true.
All my students who heard me rant about AI the second week of school are going to think I'm Nostradamus.
The New York Times will protect us. [Times actively works to find a way to use AI to write their newspaper] They're working on it!
The trick to any scam is to get out while you are ahead.
