Demand $100000

Why sue for billions when you could sue for dr evil pinkie to mouth hundreds of thousands?

LMAO:

Media Matters therefore resorted to endlessly scrolling and refreshing its unrepresentative, hand selected feed, generating between 13 and 15 more times advertisements per hour than viewed by the average X user repeating this inauthentic activity until it finally received pages containing the result it wanted: controversial content next to X's largest advertiser's paid posts

To me, this sounds very similar to the type of over-hyped, exaggerated response when someone criticized cryptocurrencies by saying they don't do anything. The response would be:

-I'm literally drinking a coffee I bought with bit coin right now.

-I was able to send large sums of money to my grandma in another country while paying a fraction of the fees going through banks

-It's a stable store of value for people in volatile countries with unstable currency

-It's an investment available to the small timers, normally only the wealthy have these opportunities

-It lets me pay artists for their art directly and bypass the corrupt middlemen

this is a forum coding so i have no idea what any of that biology mumbo jumbo means, but everything you mentiond about chatgtp is conveniently missing a lot of details.

>write some code, it writes some pretty decent code. Is it trivial code? Is it code that shows up on the first page of any search engine with the same terms?

>it gives me a summary. Is it an accurate summary? Is it any better than just reading the first and last section of the report directly?

I always interpreted the overall tone of this one as sarcastic/parody rather than genuine or a literal interpretation of the words. But maybe a sign of good art is that it makes the observer think?

You're right. They're fired.

There are 10s or 100s of thousands of programmers working on AI, but only one team under the guidance of Sam has been able to make the progress we've seen with ChatGPT and that is massively jeopardized now by this drama.

I think there is a consensus that developing AGI is the most important thing for the continued existence of human civilization. And we know a chair or table will not stand with just two legs. In fact some believe the USA grew into the most prosperous and powerful country because its founder were wise enough to design the government with three branches, each with their own powers and checks and balances between them.

We have seen that Ilya and Sam can not work together on their own. With only two natural leaders, there is no way to solve any dispute, as voting would lead to a stalemate. I believe Elon has a lot to bring to the table here, he nearly perfectly fills in the deficiencies of the other two - Elon has a strong grounding in ethics and morals (consider how many of his ventures post Paypal have been to truly benefit human society rather than just make money) which I feel could rein in Sam's tendency to ruthlessly pursue profit with questionable morality - see WorldCoin. Additionally, I think his real world experience could counter-balance some of the naivete we've seen with Ilya since his rather sudden entrance into the spotlight. I truly hope the right people consider this and can convince Elon to step up and fulfill what may be considered his true potential.

> We draw about 300W on average

Dude, teach me. Forget solar panels, if you can explain how you're living on ~1/10th the power of the typical home around here I'd power my house on a hamster wheel.
