You are unfamiliar with MAGA? You are in the way of a few people owning everything. What is genocide if it is not, literally, anti-human?

"We know that Musk initially intended it to be non-profit, but at some point he made it clear that it was going to shift to a for-profit model."

Elon Musk never controlled OpenAI, what he claims was his "intention" is irrelevant. And the point you referred to was planned to be after Musk seized control.

"...when it suddenly became clear the tech was actually right around the corner."

That is not clear, even today. Musk and Altman hope so and say so publicly, but they are both pathalogical liars. For these people, whether AI ever works is irrelevant, all that matters is that they can exploit it.

There are billionaires that refuse to associate with anything related to Elon Musk, specifically because he is so litigious. No one enjoys being the victim, even the worst sociopaths in society think Elon Musk is a place they won't go.

"From where I stand ..."
I think you mean kneel.

Elon Musk had no complaints when his plan was a hostile takeover, his standard plan for businesses he does not found. And ask the founders of Tesla about being taken for a ride.

"Quite a few people left OpenAI when that happened, also because they were as concerned as Musk about the risks involved with building a superhuman AI."
Converting to for-profit and building a superhuman AI are entirely different things, not that you would understand that. Also, OpenAI is a non-profit.

"Altman and Co. are going to get sued for a bazillion dollars and OpenAI is going to be turned back into a pure FOSS project."
LOL you're really up on the times, huh? Meanwhile, everyone in the world hopes that both Musk and Altman will be destroyed. Kneel on though, fellator.

Elon Musk has never changed, and you are a sad sack for failing to realize it.

The beauty of this post is that it was made for free by bots Elon Musk controls, bots paid for by investor money.

A comma does not signify synonyms, it is merely a separator. And the OP was not referring to the comma, the entire phrase was repeated.

Correct, Musk's problem is that he failed to seize ownership of other people's work.

"This social-media-shortsighted mentality, is the exact reason Elon is concerned."

No, it is not. Elon Musk isn't even capable of concern, only hate and avarice. Also, the most abhorrent social media in the world? Controlled by Elon Musk.

Also: "I could have started it as a for profit and I chose not to," Musk said on the stand.

Musk did not create OpenAI, nor could he have. This is the depraved level of sociopathy that people worship here.

"Hendon used the tool to measure how electricity interacted with the liquid. He found that this provided a better measurement of the flavor profile. "
I doubt this very seriously, but more than that, this would not characterize "roast color and beverage strength".

"...so Hendon's goal was not to achieve a "perfect" cup but to give baristas a simple tool to consistently reproduce flavor profiles more tailored to a given customer's taste. "
A task for which this technique is totally useless. Measuring some electrical characteristic does not tell you how to make a cup of coffee, it's only tells you a trivial, and probably useless, tidbit about a cup already made.

""The reason you have an enjoyable cup of coffee is almost certainly that you have selected a coffee of a particular roast color and extracted it to a desired strength. Until now, we haven't been able to separate those variables. Now we can diagnose what gives rise to that delicious cup."
It's funny, then, how well known these parameters are. Almost as if people have known this all along, but here we have one guy claiming to have discovered something unknown and inventing a way to measure it that almost certainly doesn't work AND doesn't tell anyone how to make coffee that they already know how to make.

"The solution: adding a small squirt of water to beans before grinding (known as the Ross droplet technique)..."
LOLOL! Funny how all these newly discovered insights had previously existing names! If only static charge could be dealt with after the fact, perhaps more discovery for this genius!

Truly SuperKendellian, the stupidity of this article.

Dang, you don't use single-use burner laptops for banking? Careless! Mine are gold-plated.

"it's not as if buying gasoline supports a nicer sort of oligarchs."

This is known as a false choice. It is also incorrect, buying gasoline does, in fact, support a nicer sort of oligarchs. There is no more malignant sociopath than Elon Musk, except possibly your other hero, Donald Trump.

and absolutely nothing I do to have anything to do with Elon Musk, except champion his deportation.

Hating Elon Musk is not partisan politics. These days only loving Elon Musk is.

Makes perfect sense to compare a driverless taxi service to scooters rather than conventional taxis. It's almost as if you have an agenda.
