"It’s not a coincidence that nearly all of OpenAI’s original founders left the company under acrimonious conditions, nor that every tech billionaire has a largely identical AI company. The frenetic AI race is inseparable from the petty, clashing egos of the unfathomably rich, hellbent on dominating one another.
Indeed, if Musk were to win his bid, that could be devastating for OpenAI, especially as it prepares this year for a potential initial public offering. Musk seeks $150bn in damages from the company and one of its top investors, Microsoft. He also seeks to return OpenAI to a non-profit, to remove Altman and Brockman as leaders of the for-profit, and to boot Altman off the non-profit board.
Yet, to assume that the future of AI development will be determined by a personality contest misses the point. Yes, Brockman’s diary entries are revealing, as was former OpenAI chief technology officer Mira Murati’s testimony about Altman pitting executives against each other, confirming my previous reporting.
But fixating on questions of whether Altman is untrustworthy, or whether Musk is even less so distracts from a far deeper problem. If OpenAI lost its footing as the AI industry frontrunner, another barely distinguishable competitor – Musk’s xAI or other – would simply replace it. That includes companies like Anthropic, who enjoy a better reputation yet engage in many similar behaviors like compromising careful decision-making for speed, disregarding intellectual property, and aggressively scaling their computing infrastructure to the detriment of communities."

RE: https://mstdn.social/@rysiek/116573743512232707
"Zamiast blokować dostęp dzieci do toksycznych platform, powinniśmy się skupić na tym, by te platformy nie były toksyczne. To, że są toksyczne, jest przecież świadomą, celową decyzją biznesową ich operatorów. Ta decyzja nie jest konieczna dla świadczenia tej usługi; Facebook kiedyś nie był aż tak toksyczny i szkodliwy.
Dziś jest, bo dzięki temu Mark Zuckerberg zarabia więcej kasy. A my znów debatujemy o filtrowaniu Internetu."

Quick bonus post. In a slight ironic turn of events Meta employees don't like being spied on by Meta. Don't get me wrong I think such tracking is invasive for anyone....but it does feel like a case of oh how the tables have turned.

This is from yesterday. It proves that a corporation doesn't need to be right or wrong, it doesn't need top-notch products that don't break or leak, and it certainly doesn't need ethics. It just needs to shovel money for the people who own it, also known as shareholders.

"The AI & Big Tech industries’ will to power is among the proximate causes of the US’s accelerating descent into autocracy. “AI” is both the motivation and the instrument of authoritarian consolidation."

Vanaf vandaag begin ik met iedere dag 5-10 personen van #LinkedIn te unLinken.
🔏 Waarom? Mijn profiel uitkleden t.b.v. migratie.
🗑️ Waarom niet account weggooien? Behouden van ID, zodat deze niet gekaapt kan worden
❓ Maar hoezo dan? LinkedIn, veelvuldig in het nieuws omtrent privacy, tracking. Mijn voorkeur gaat naar o.a. website + Mastodon.
