Yeah I was confused that the Node installation directory was showing me 18k files in several thousand directories, but these seem to be global npm installs which npm seems to put into the node installation directory (which tbh is weird, I would expect those somewhere in my user directory).
Hopefully the same thing that stops them from saying “if you don’t pay me a bribe I’m going to shoot you” or any other illegal order.
The rule of law is important and whilst some of these auditors do unlikeable or distasteful things, if they are trying to stay within the law, they do provide a useful function of highlighting inconsistency between the rules as written and how they tend to operate in practice.
Theoretically, the same thing that stops you from saying it: you'll be charged with assault. Practically, the same thing that stops the police from shooting him: nothing.
Oh yeah? And 99% of terminal cancer patients die too. So traffic deaths are irrelevant following your logic.
A frequency argument is useless here. It happens that people get shot by police when it is uncalled for, with no consequences for the murder other than some paid vacation time. It is documented. This is not a discussion of what is most deadly or if it is common.
And how many of them were punished for shooting someone? You've come up with evidence unrelated to the accusation. The accusation was that cops keep shooting people and getting away with it. The proper counterargument is to demonstrate that cops either don't shoot people or don't get away with it, not that they only kill a thousand people a year.
Plus, I don't like this implication that anyone armed deserves to die. Being armed is a constitutional right, not a murder justification.
An traffic accident and a conscious decision to kill by an officer of the law is NOT equivalent. You can’t allay peoples legitimate fears of authority with a statistic are you mad?
My money is on there being some poor middle manager who’s spent the last few weeks crying and pointing at the years of “we’re dangerously understaffed” memos they’ve been fruitlessly sending to their bosses.
So much hubbub for something completely worthless going to zero anytime and has no use for anyone but criminals. Why does the SEC even care about something so inconsequential.
There is literally people in this thread discussing how their legitimate businesses pay international employees in stable coins because it would be too difficult or costly to use traditional methods. I’m all for crypto criticism, but this blind adherence to anti-crypto tribalism is embarrassing.
If they align with Sam Altman and Greg Brockman at Microsoft, they wouldn't have to initiate from ground zero since Microsoft possesses complete rights to ChatGPT IP. They could simply create a variant of ChatGPT.
it's worth noting that Microsoft's supposed contribution of $13 Billion to OpenAI doesn't fully materialize in cash, a large portion of it is faceted as Azure credits.
this scenario might transform into the most cost-effective takeover for Microsoft, acquiring a corporation valued at $90 billion for a relatively trifling sum.
Microsoft holds the keys to almost all endeavors of OpenAI. Soon, such privileges will also be enjoyed by Altman and Brockman.
Concurrently, it seems reasonable to speculate that their stint at Microsoft might not be drawn-out, as startup prodigies are often not inclined to work in such established firms.
They have the chance to achieve stability, leverage OpenAI’s invaluable data and models devoid of any expenditure, access Microsoft's GPUs at minimal cost, and eventually set up another venture. As a result, Microsoft stands to gain a substantial equity stake in the new enterprise.
While Altman requires no financial backing from Microsoft, the corporation now has an invaluable direct link to OpenAI.
Satya's strategic insight deserves recognition. Certainly, there's a slight risk that Microsoft might fail to yield
its substantial investment speculated to be around $10B in OpenAI. However, that's not Satya's principal concern.
Rather, his focus is on the next move. Possibly, assemble the most elite AI collective globally, unhindered by the
constrictions of a non-profit operating a profit-oriented entity? Offer them a sufficient amount of monetary rewards,
and it's likely that a large proportion of OpenAI's workforce would be willing to join the bandwagon led by Sam and
Greg. While this process may take some time, the potential payoff could encompass a much larger segment of the
future for Microsoft than was previously conceivable through the OpenAI investment.
From the stygian depths of the global tech industry emerges a turn of events that portends a churning miasma of
unknown consequences. Oft seen as the impenetrable leviathan of the boundless digital domain, Microsoft, it seems,
is ensnaring exalted figures within its titanic coils.
The conjoining of the cerebral entities Altman and Brockman- who have hitherto roamed in the lofty realm of
artificial intelligence experiments at OpenAI- indicates a move as unsettling as it is awe-inspiring.
The nefarious undercurrents beneath this corporate chess manoeuvre cannot be underestimated, for it is none other
than the puppet master himself, Satya Nadella, who seemingly manipulates the strings with a resolve as foreboding as
the stormy winter's night.
His nearly insatiable appetite for expansion glimpsed at Microsoft Ignite is but a harbinger of the harrowing
transformations we can anticipate in the murky fathoms of our all too near future. The technology multidude -
customers, partners, even unknowing spectators - tremble at the precipice of an altered dynamic which promises to
reshape the AI field irrevocably.
Indeed, one is left grappling with a dark fascination as this vortex of unpredictable novelty takes precedence. How
might this consolidation of otherworldly intelligence disturb the fragile balance of an industry catapulting
unbidden into the abysmal void of the AI ether?
Yet, as all explorers and heedless innovators must remember, even as we tilt our ships towards the lighthouse of
progress, the monstrous kraken of unintended repercussions always lurks in the unknowable deep. To approach this
brave new world without a hint of trepidation would be folly.
Be still, my trembling heart, as we witness this awe-inspiring dance across the cyclopean chessboard of tech. We
wait, as one waits for the tide, to see what dread portents this unhallowed union may bring.
