The only lesson to be had in the OpenAI drama is the money always wins.

No criticism of capitalism can ever top the suits at Netflix seeing Squid Game and thinking “Let’s make it real!” #capitalism #SquidGame

Given my extensive experience with video games, it’s disappointing how few pressure plates we bump into in regular life. I’d like to drag a big rock over a pressure plate to escape the office one day

You put your Altman in, You take your Altman out, You put your Altman in, And you shake him all about, You do the hokey-pokey and you move VC around, That's what tech's all about

For modern "subscriptions," all the money you spent provides no value after you end the subscription. That's not a subscription, that's club membership. You're only paying for access. That means they can and will change what access means. They'll add or remove things. They'll change the price. But in the end, when you stop paying, all the access is revoked. I really hate how that feels, and would like to move away from that in any place I can, to be honest.

The existence of UNIX implies the existence of MENIX, INIX, and THEYNIX.

Content warning: tech punditry

Remember everyone, if you're delulu enough, you too can fire, hire, fire, rehire all in a few days at your non problematic at all company. If you're really audacious you can remove women from your board, and replace them with *checks notes* problematic whyte techbros. #tech #infosec #nerd #ai #techbros

Sam Altman is back as OpenAI CEO with a new board. And of course the new board was hand picked to no longer restrict Altman so he can run OpenAI as a business as he sees fit (until he jumps to one of his own things he's been preparing for months now). The interesting aspect of this: The new board no longer has any women, the 2 women on the old board were replaced by Larry Summers who's known to think that women just have less "intrinsic aptitude" for "science and engineering". So Yeah. Says a lot about what OpenAI considers important.

I think folks need to understand that within a number of years, AI-generated "content" will be the microplastic of our online ecosystem.

A company lays off thousands of people, nobody bats an eye. A company fires one CEO and everyone loses their mind.

@hamatti@mastodon.world Including the company’s employees. Employees who could be laid off any time by CEO they’re fighting for. 🙂

Stop treating open source projects and foundations like consumer-facing businesses. Unless you've got a paid support contract that's being neglected, or there's a grave concern, it's inappropriate to escalate issues to massively public forums. Maintainers and the staffers and volunteers at foundations are already overworked. Don't make it harder for them to address your issue by ALSO making them waste time firefighting in public. #OpenSource #FOSS #FLOSS
