OpenAI’s annualized revenue — an estimated guess at a company’s income for the year — is roughly $20 billion lower than anybody had previously expected, including, it seems, OpenAI itself.

THIS is why they want to call it "Super Intelligence" (or "Artificial General Intelligence") and why they've gotten so far calling it "Artificial Intelligence": it is none of those things, but those terms remove accountability.
If your dog really did eat your homework, it was still your fault.

#AI execs and "whistleblowers" are engaging in whataboutism, talking about larger existential threats as if they're near-certainties to distract from the impressive damage that is real and now:
Do not conflate these terms!
Random: Completely up to chance
Arbitrary: Unexpected; seemingly random
Obscure: Generally unknown; topically arbitrary
Humans can't come up with things at #random; we accidentally create patterns. Use a password manager to generate your passwords and passphrases.
How I got into cybersecurity: I ran a small systems group and we had a spam problem. I had a lot of fun fixing it and became a SpamAssassin committer out of it. Then I started attending the MIT Spam Conference. On my ~3rd conference, I responded to three presentations that I had implemented very similar solutions (as FOSS). One talk presented a null result. I told them the concept works great and I could prove it.
That got me a job offer.
