    Do it! Do it you bootlickers!!! I’d have way more sympathy if this was over a union fight but this is just cult behavior and is really creepy - for the love of God I hope they do it - I wanna see this implode in on itself

        Of course it is, that was always the case. Anyone that genuinely believed there was any non-profit, humanitarian, risk-averse future for this technology was drinking copious amounts of Kool aid.

        These things have been designed, from day 1, with the explicit purpose of killing labor and making a lot of people richer. This was never, ever, a tool for the common man.

        AI is the capitalist equivalent of a Death Star. Now that they have it, what the hell else do you think was going to happen?

        So? No matter who owns it it’s still a massive invasion of privacy at the minimum - at least look on it as the shit show it is

      They only give a damn about their RSUs/stock options. Altman is a profiteer who will make them more money.
