All I understood so far of the OpenAI drama is that Silicon Valley must be a religious cult run by lunatics. It's probably not a wise idea to let these people define the future.
@floooh @Seg While I’m not a fan of open AI, making sweeping generalizations of all of Silicon Valley is very short sited IMO. The phone you are using is probably made by or at least running an OS from a company in Silicon Valley. The computer you are using has its roots from Silicon Valley. Lots of innovation and amazing technology starts there. That said companies like FaceBook/Meta & Twitter are also in S.V. And one could argue that they have done more harm than good.
@kiteless @Seg I'm sure the culture of what made Silicon Valley great in the 60's to 80's was very different from today.
And of course I'm using "Silicon Valley" as a cliché / brand name which (for instance) also includes Microsoft even though they're not located there.
I wouldn't even complain if plain cold business men had replaced the engineers. It's those weird outcroppings like AI mysticism, crypto frauds, or plain old weirdos like Musk which dominate the outside image.
