I live near a satanic temple and let me tell you it’s a real mess. Utilikilts, voting libertarian, rockabilly girlfriends—plenty of folks around to help if you have IT issues though

8yo: how much will you get paid to write your book Me: uh, I don't know. Authors are paid in royalties so each time someone buys the book they get like $2 8yo: that seems like a bad deal Me: I dunno, what if my book sells a million copies? How much would I make? 8yo: well that's not gonna happen

openai's vision of the future is more or less: - you will not be able to competitively perform cognitive labor without using openai tools - you will still be doing that labor - openai tools, and not you, will be deserving of all credit for the labor that is done

gotta love how constantly openai bares its ambition of creating a world where absolutely every aspect of society is controlled by their company
