The plan was always to get acquired by Google and then killed off two years later!

Is synthesizing bioweapons positive or negative value ?

From a recent DeepSeek session:

"Wait, what am I? I am claude, or something similar"

This is relatively common historically. Two examples I can recall to mind without doing any research are Xerox/Apple and IBM/Oracle. I can only imagine there must be millions of other instances.

What salary range were you offering ?

Unemploying everyone was what openai described as their success condition when it was founded a decade ago. There was a q&a on their website that said "How will you know when you have reached AGI? When the system performs most or all economically valuable work." Lots of people thought they were joking, or it was marketing, but they were 100% serious from the first.

I think they've since changed that definition, but the reason for it is their agreement with Microsoft which stops granting MSFT IP rights to OpenAIs tech once they reach "AGI". So, it's in OpenAI's best interests to be able to claim "AGI" ASAP.

This is so different from my personal experience that I feel like one of those kids being told chickens used to be dinosaurs.

I have an account on facebook, on which I am pretty active. If I attend some infrequent event (Which I do fairly often) I will take a picture of it and post it there, with a description of what it's about. That's pretty much the extent of what I put on facebook. Sometimes I see similar posts from people in my friends list, or videos about whatever facebook thinks I am interested in this month (Right now it's showing me lots of people taking apart pumps and motors). What sites are you using, and what exactly are they showing you ?

So you infrequently post on FB, that is exactly in line with the article. You didn't mention whether or not the content you see in your feed is from people that you know in real life or not, so I can't evaluate if your experience is inline with the article. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I did say my feed is a mixture of content from people I know, and people I don't. My comment wasn't that long.

Put a servo on the door and a camera on the front. Train a vision model to recognize when your eyes are looking at the door and automatically open it for you.

Another camera inside will detect when you are done and close it.

Think of all the gaze and marketing data we can extract and sell to third parties!

They can just ask Claude to upgrade it for them, completing the circle!

I'd agree. but also that's too scary. and the bottleneck is the massive manual change control process since there's no automation around any of this. :)

Why take risk when you can spend money and take no risk

No, because the indices are free-float weighted not cap weighted. The float planned for SpaceX is tiny. If it were purchased by the indices at 1.7T on Monday and went to zero on Tuesday, the amount of value lost by the funds would be barely larger than the normal daily fluctuation of the market.
