It's also mostly vaporware.

They're not in the ai business, they're in the grift business, and fascism and grifting go hand in hand.

The trains never ran on time. Crime, never really went down. The economy, never actually improved.

the overt fascist imagery is definitely an attempt to distract from the fact that they can never achieve AGI and will inevitably fail

and it's also proof it trains on copyrighted materials and that alone should be enough for it to be taken down.

OpenAI’s goals are similar to the Trump regime’s. They both are attacking higher education, the creative class and attempting to control the distribution and censorship of media. It’s not about tech innovation, it’s about consolidation of power imo.

For me it was the Rocco's basilisk that gave it away. The monster in the text was that they were the ones trying to create a society that kills and torture anyone they don't see fit.

amyhoy.bsky.social•3 days ago

yes! everybody who says “it’s pascal’s wager” doesn’t get it

pascal’s wager is benign

their twisted fantasy is much worse

cesar-o-mauro.bsky.social•3 days ago

Pascal wager is not that benign. It's more or less. Devout to the church or you may go to hell.

Rocco's is "either you help us build the infinite torture machine or we WILL use it on you"

amyhoy.bsky.social•3 days ago

pascal’s wager is actually “belief costs you nothing but potentially not believing costs you badly”

nobody who claims belief costs you nothing is expecting slavish devotion to church (it’s about god, not church, anyway)

but yes i agree with the rest completely

The problem for me is. It is easy to notice they are grifters. Easy to see the scam behind it. It's even easy to see the colonial intentions being Brazilian.

But the coordinated eugenics and fascist ideology. Was not in my radar for tech bosses and CEO's. For me every one of em was like bill jobs

cesar-o-mauro.bsky.social•3 days ago

Tech assholes with colonial power and no concept of consent.

But Rocco's basilisk was the point where it clicked for me. They are culturally fascist. All the talk about the dangers of AI is because they want to look comparable to the engineers of the Holocaust.

OpenAI is a fucking abomination and needs to be drowned in the sea.

Funny you should say that.

Microsoft was experimenting with submerging server farms in arctic waters for "free" cooling.

Wonder if they still do that?

amyhoy.bsky.social•3 days ago

oh wow. can't imagine anything going wrong with warming up the arctic sea.

JFC.

Every billionaire is an atrocious ghoul.
