- Comment on The Tech Baron Seeking to “Ethnically Cleanse” San Francisco 2 months ago:
This guy sounds like he snorted every 60s-70s sci fi at once and now his goal in life is creating the torment nexus. I had no idea that the CEO of Y Combinator(hacker news?) had “friends” like this?

- Comment on Microsoft joins OpenAI’s board with Sam Altman officially back as CEO 7 months ago:
na, the whole shakeup was because microsoft wanted to be majority shareowner and the board was against it.
- Comment on UNESCO and Interpol Collaborate to Build a Virtual Museum of Stolen Cultural Artifacts 7 months ago:
Some of those artifacts have questionable ownership claims. Its not obvious who exactly they belong to. It would be easy enough to return something to a major museum at the country of origin, but for example the Benin bronze statues have claims from nigeria the country and the royalty, who plan to integrate it to their private collection, aka we would be “returning” an important artifact to some kleptocrats safe.
Also nigerian museums are notoriously famous for “loosing” artifacts which then appear on the black market. Sone are even melted down and sold at the price of the materials.
- Comment on OpenAI's reported 'superintelligence' breakthrough is so big it nearly destroyed the company, and ChatGPT 7 months ago:
just bs. They are trying to come up with an explanation for why altman was fired that is not: we caught him doing lots of illegal stuff.
- Comment on OpenAI brings Sam Altman back as CEO less than a week after he was fired by board 7 months ago:
but thats exactly why they did it! They want to be majority shareholder to get the company under their control, and the board was likely against putting more shares on the market!

Here it says that just a month ago, there were rumors that they would do it, but then it didnt happen, so I believe altman wanted to but the board did not.
- Comment on OpenAI brings Sam Altman back as CEO less than a week after he was fired by board 7 months ago:
This is such a confusing and messy situation. There is definitely more going on that we dont know about. I already poszed this in another thread but: heres what I think could be going on: tinfoil hat on Some Microsoft bigwigs read the OpenAI foundation contract again and realise that they gave them a bunch of money but didnt get the nonprofit, and that they are now fully dependant on them, and that Altman is an experienced shark that knows this. They cant just buy the non-profit, the board would never agree. So they hatch a plan. They get the lead researcher and a bunch of board members riled up against Altman, with a bunch of dirt they have on him. They tell them hes going to run off with the money and show some proof. The board decides to fire Altman. In the same breath but in another room microsoft hires altman, and promise all openAI employees employment at their new openAI bootleg. They then tell the board through the official channels, that they fucked up and need to resign.
Now, the situation was like this:
- Either the board resigns, and microsoft gets to put some puppets in their place and complete buying openAI
- The board doesnt resign, microsoft gets all their employees and the company in anything but name and openAI slowly fades in relevancy until Microsoft makes a generous offer of 150% above what they are worth(half of their price right now)
either way, microsoft wins.
so yeah, I think the next thing we are going to see is microsoft buying more openAI and getting actual control, or a complete buy.

- Comment on Nepal decides to ban TikTok 7 months ago:
in nepal posting in “vulgar” language is also forbidden by law, as is stuff like stating that you are poly on social media, so them passing another overreaching censorship law is no surprise.
