I like the irony here about villifying someone who didn't share his secret surveillance. What a tacit approval for snooping into everything, everywhere. Anyone looking into the root causes that led to this? The human angle?

Im kind of surprised that Altman actually apologized and took responsibility. That's not something you see very often, especially for a school shooting situation. Im definitely concerned about what other things AI is going to encourage before we fully realize what we've unleashed. Seems like it didn't exist in the public eye a year ago and now every rich country is rushing to expand AI to everything with very few guardrails. Cant help but think we'll look back on this in 10 years and wonder what the hell we were doing.
Altman... only issued an apology a month after agreeing with Tumbler Ridge’s mayor that it was necessary to address the harms.
What a wholesome chungus! It only took him a month to apologize for the blood on his hands. I wonder what this benevolent little guy is doing now....
OpenAI to work with Pentagon after Anthropic dropped by Trump over company’s ethics concerns
Epic!
I'd like to think we'll be looking back on this time in astonishment, but we also went through similar things with Facebook and billions of people still use their services.
I'm not too surprised that Altman apologized, because there have been multiple reports saying that he will say the right words to anyone to appease them, even if it means he ends up telling different people entirely contradictory things. Though I agree he probably miscalculated here, and the apology is what enabled the new lawsuits.
What bugs me the most is that he's probably going to settle all the lawsuits out of court for some amount of money that is large for the families but insignificant for the company, and he won't actually be held accountable, especially if the chat logs are never released.
How great would it be to see the tables turned and watch that schmuck beg for his worthless slimy life
Most ~~techbros~~ executives seem to be vying for the title.
Chatgpt is boring anyway.
