Indeed. The sooner, the better.

"You are too smart to be a cop...."

LMAO That is what they tell the ID10T's that can't be trusted with gun, badge or any responsibilty. Almost any reputable force requires a degree and advancement requires a higher degree. I am not saying a degree shows intelligence or more importantly common-sense, but I'd say your "buddies" might be more suited for the Marines.

Making war faster and cheaper? How evil can you be?

Looks to me like OpenAI is close to the brink. Cannot wait for their demise.

Fully agree it is not Ponzi. It is circular exchanges of things that have no value to inflate valuation.

Yes. It is more a circulation of non-value. Technically just as illegal though.

The difference to regular tech hypes is that the proponents are even more stupid.

We need a burn-down pin. When entered performs a factory reset.

You are delusional.

One of the lessons we've had as the Federal, multi-branch nature of the US governmennt has frustrated Trump is that the government may be fucking us over, but it's not doing it in *unison*. It's doing it piecemiel, on the initiative of many interests working against each other, just as the framers intended. The motto on the Great Seal notwithstanding, there are myriad roadblocks to consolidating power in the hands of a single individual. It takes time and repeated failures. This is why the second Trump Adminsitration is worse than the first; they've figured out ways around things like Congressional power of the purse, put more of their henchmen in the judiciary, and normalized Congress lying down and letting the president walk all over them. It's a serious situation, although fortunately Trump isn't long for this world.

You are still completely missing what this is about.

Relevancy? Oh, I see, none at all.

That is a bit extreme and not really true. What is true is that LLMs have no business model that is sustainable, unless they become, say, 1000x cheaper to train and run. Which is not going to happen.

As to "AI" doing its own thing, that is overstating the case massively. Even AGI would not mean "can to anything" and would not imply "can set up and successfully run a business". At this time, we do not even know whether AGI is possible, and we certainly do not know what it would look like.

They are allowed a license because US public transportation is total crap. And because it is better for society to have these people be productive, even if they need this guardrail.

But that is not actually what the story is about. The story is about doing infrastructure on the stupid.

You are missing the point of the story. Entirely. It is not about drunk driving.

That 40% approval rating tells you that 40% of the population (well, more than that) understand absolutely nothing. Not good.
