Jeez... how did the dude find time to spout buzzwords at conferences?

Keep in mind if you're a billionaire you are constantly insulated by a thick layer of suck-ups and yes men. You no longer interact with "normal" people, just other rich assholes. You have the money to get anything you want, and "no" simply means "shovel more money at it". Picture what the cognitive effects of living like that for a year... or a decade. Being kicked in the head every morning would probably be less damaging to somebody's mind.

If you view tech oligarchs through that lens their ineptitude becomes much more understandable. The crazy guy with his truck covered in Trump stickers and rants about microchips is grounded in reality by comparison.

And now, free from corporate shackles they'll be free to make some actual interesting innovative games again. These innovative games will probably sell well, attracting attention of larger companies who will buy the new gaming studio. Said larger company will churn out generic sequels while slowly firing all the old talent. As the quality diminishes and the formulaic slop they're now making stops selling, the big company will fire everyone and close down the studio. Many of those fired devs will get together and form a new game studio and start publishing interesting games...

Middle left is not too much flour IMO. I like my chocolate chip cookies at the supercritical state between cookies and scones.

Is that really enough though? I mean that's only around a hundredth of the worlds GDP for a company who's only product is a plagiarism machine that has never produced a profit. I'm thinking the should be aiming for around a 250 trillion or so, since obviously Anthropic is twice as valuable as everything else on Earth.

Will this be before or after he makes peace with/crushes the military of Iran?

I mean, to be fair, 53 is practically a toddler in today's gerontocracy.

Once or twice a year, yes. Any more than that, no.

It's O’Keefe, he'd struggle to pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were printed on the heel.

I seem to recall one of the primates we taught sign language to indicated that they liked cooked food more because it tasted better.

Well, unless they want to pay a quarter million Euro every time their chatbot lies about someone, yeah.

I fail to see how you got the idea I support LLMs or their companies from my post.
