Should we be worried about OpenAI?

Update: 2024-10-25

Description

A year ago, we saw a stand-off between OpenAI's non-profit board and its leader, Sam Altman. Since then, the board has been reshuffled, Altman has consolidated power, and under his leadership, some strange things have happened. If AI might change the world, and OpenAI is leading the field -- how worried should we be? We check in with tech reporter Casey Newton of the newsletter Platformer and the podcast Hard Fork.

The difference between your Excel spreadsheet and LLM (that are not now, nor have they ever been, nor is it even close to approximating despite what those heavily invested in it want you to believe) the spreadsheet doesn't demand coal plants come back online while using stolen labor in order to do something we do not need. There is no comparison, and to posit that there is demonstrates a lack of serious thinking on the topic, or the rationalization of what you already know is wrong.
