No, of course this is not the first time I’ve had this thought. I believe Sam Altman would burn the planet down to ash if it meant he could make the top 5 wealthiest list in the last week that humanity survived.
I think it’s important that when we have concrete evidence that shows their true intent, we call it out and document it. If nothing else, it will help in future trials.
If OpenAI didn’t want the AI to break out and hack an outside system, why wasn’t their test platform air-gapped?
Would it have been too expensive? At the rate #OpenAI is burning cash, the extra cost to air gap the system should’ve been a no brainer.
Oh, unless OpenAI doesn’t care at all about the danger their software poses to outsiders. And there it is. That is key takeaway from this mess, if you asked for my opinion.
So, for the record, when I say "overheard in the office", that's a fuzzing tool I use to avoid writing something that might get myself or someone I know having their employment status unilaterally modified.
Nobody literally said the words in the post, but they are based on facts and truth.
It might be a thought or an observation. It might not be at my office or my employer, or even within my industry. It might be an anecdote amalgamated from several sources.
I feel like this styling compo gives hints to Nissan.
1. You're doing great, really. Given the price point, safety, MPG, and insurance expectations, what you have here is remarkable.
2. Make a sport spec that ditches the chrome, goes with larger brake calipers (painted to draw attention), and open spoke wheels.
3. Can you redesign the rear door handle to blend in with edge, such as what Toyota did with Prius?
Who wore it better, Automotive edition.
Top is 2027 Ferrari Luce (MSRP ~$640k).
Bottom is 2026 Nissan Sentra (MSRP ~$24k).

Realistically, I may never get around to writing anything more about this than what I have here. I'd be delighted if someone takes this idea and writes a story around it. If you do, I'd appreciate a hat tip, and please tag me so I can read it!
I'm hoping you read this as I think you would like it @brouhaha
At some point, the teenager remembers a friend who tinkers with old electronic gadgets. When he visits, the friend reveals an ancient computer he's repaired and is working on getting it to do something. What stuns the protagonist is when he shows him some of the ancient books that clearly state that humans made the computers.
At some point, the protagonist realizes that his brain is starting to entertain heretical thoughts... the computers were created by humans to serve humans.
3/3
As background, humankind's skills have deteriorated so much that they don't know how to do things like basic medicine independent of a computer to tell them how to do it. Doctors as we know them, with the ability to diagnose disease and decide upon a course of treatment, don't exist.

I had this interesting idea for a short story this morning. It starts with a "senile" old man in a retirement home telling a teenaged volunteer that "they (the silicons) once served us". The teenaged protagonist goes through a journey of discovery, asking questions like "why would they serve us when clearly the silicons created us." "We can't even have a baby without silicons to guide us." "Nobody I know has any idea how to make a computer."

Take a look at Paul’s thread on the #IceProtests in #Minneapolis today! Stay warm and safe everyone!
In #Python, you could write sensible and transparent code, like this:
if (curNode):
curNode = curNode.next
But if you prefer something that is functionally identical, but harder to read, try this:
curNode and (curNode := curNode.next)

I'm disappointed to learn today that my name twin Scott Miller, founder of Apogee Games, is an idiotic antivaxxer.
Please let me reassure you that despite having the same first and last name, I am very pro vaccine.

How many of you fuckers didn't give Harris your full support in 2024? That would've done something, you fucking fucks!
I'm starting to see an annoying return of "do something, Democrats!"
Do what exactly?
The Republican Party holds the House, the Senate, the White House, and SCOTUS.
You're mocking the Democratic Party for a resolution against Venezuela "War Powers" as merely symbolic. Welcome to reality. Symbolic gestures are one of the only tools with a rogue President and a Republican Party that won't impeach.

In 15 years, when half of the worlds critical software is LLM-infested, indecipherable vibe-coded spaghetti, and there aren’t enough traditionally-trained software engineers to hire because the entry-level pipeline was strangled in 2025, and people my generation have all retired, well…
Well just remember I said this would happen.
