    If I were the reporter my next question would be:

    “Do you feel that not knowing the most basic things about your product reflects on your competence as CTO?”

      Hilarious, but if the reporter asked this they would find it harder to get invites to events. Which is a problem for journalists. Unless your very well regarded for your journalism, you can’t push powerful people without risking your career.

        That, and the reporter is there to get information, not mess with and judge people. Asking that sort of question is really just an attack. We can leave it to commentators and ourselves for judge people.

          this is limp dick energy. If asking questions is an attack then you’re probably a piece of shit doing bad things.

            Think about the answer you would actually get. They would dismiss the question or give some sort of nonsense answer. It’s a rhetorical question, and the only thing that it serves to do is criticize the person being asked. That’s not what reporters are there to do. If the answer would actually give some useful information to the reader, then it’s worth asking.

        boofuckingwoo. Reporters are not supposed to be friends with the people they are writing about.

          True, but if those same people they’re not supposed to be friends with are the ones inviting them to those events/granting them early access…

          In other words: the system is rigged.

            The system is rigged.

            You cannot give the same criticism to a rich person vs. a poor person even if their incompetence is the same. I am not sure what’s the fix, other than the common refrain of “there should be no millionaires/billionaires”. How does society heal itself if you cannot hold people accountable?

            Again - boofuckinghooo. Let the fuckers have no friends in the media. The media owners make journalists spinless advertisement sellers. I have very little respect for the profession at this point.

                booduckinghoo.

                We’re sick and tired of this shit, it will never change if people make excuses for it.

              You’re missing the point that they need those relationships to gain access to sources. You literally cannot force people to talk to you

      Also about this line:

      Others, meanwhile, jumped to Murati’s defense, arguing that if you’ve ever published anything to the internet, you should be perfectly fine with AI companies gobbling it up.

      No I am not fine. When I wrote that stuff and those researches in old phpbb forums I did not do it with the knowledge of a future machine learning system eating it up without my consent. I never gave consent for that despite it being publicly available, because this would be a designation of use that wouldn’t exist back than. Many other things are also publicly available, but some a re copyrighted, on the same basis: you can publish and share content upon conditions that are defined by the creator of the content. What’s that, when I use zlibrary I am evil for pirating content but openai can do it just fine due to their huge wallets? Guess what, this will eventually creating a crisis of trust, a tragedy of the commons if you will when enough ai generated content will build the bulk of your future Internet search! Do we even want this?
