If they replaced the CEO with AI, you can bet on it.

4) Continued admission to the Satanic orgies

...of the ones that are compromised by accident.

2TB of un-journaled data? I recommend you just don't.

According to the link in r1348's post above, it only cost them $60k, which is a bargain, really.

Nice "Cowboy Bebop" deep cut there. :)

You're just trading Google spyware for Mozilla spyware, and the data all ends up getting sold to the same people/companies anyway.

Yes, you're right that it doesn't make sense. Lacking any supporting evidence to the contrary, this seems a lot like it could be a "false flag" operation; something cooked up with Altman's consent in order to generate public sympathy for him and/or his commercial endeavors.

Probably this one.

Reading between the lines here, the way I interpret this is that they're basically doing this to send the message directly to X staff: "We think our actual drop in views is because you've altered your algorithm to de-prioritize our posts, but we have no direct proof of that so we're just going to take our ball and go home and tell everyone else it's because it's just not worth it anymore."

That may be pure speculation on my part, but the subtext seemed clear to me.

This one I agree with, adding the one caveat it would also have to be a Linux phone so I could use the screens in the precise ways that I want to use them. That would be a lot more convenient for me than one screen with a weird aspect ratio and a crease of dead pixels down the middle.

I have noticed that asking it questions about the video game "No Man's Sky" elicits perfect or at least nearly perfect answers every time. Asking it any technical questions about Linux though... usable accuracy drops to something like 50%.

This isn't even the worst thing LinkedIn has gotten caught doing. It's always been an entirely criminal enterprise masquerading as a normal jobs board.

Sure, why not just pass all your sensitive personal and corporate data through a "thinking machine," "for entertainment purposes only." Sounds like a great plan that smart people would do. /sarcasm

It's probably also relevant that they couldn't just call it "Northstar" because that was already taken by a competitor's product.
